1. Audit programs and schedules
Organize recurring programs, planned scopes, facilities or processes, priorities, dates, owners, and completion status in one coordinated view.
Audit & Inspection Management
Core capabilities availablePlan audits, capture evidence, and close findings in one connected cycle
QSigma360 provides a connected path from the audit program and schedule through checklists, evidence, findings, actions, follow-up, and reporting. Instead of moving critical context between spreadsheets, documents, and email threads, each decision stays linked to its owner, date, evidence, and current status.
Core audit management capabilities are available. A standalone auditor portal, offline execution, advanced standards libraries, and selected automated analytics remain partial or on the product roadmap.
From scattered observations to follow-through you can prove
An audit loses value when teams cannot identify the checklist, supporting evidence, or whether an action worked. QSigma360 brings those elements into a structured record showing scope, team, timing, status, and outstanding work. Quality leaders can see overdue audits, repeated findings, open actions, and items requiring verification.
Core capabilities
2. Audit-specific planning
Record audit type, objectives, criteria, scope, team, participants, duration, and references, keeping the approved plan connected to execution.
3. Controlled checklists
Work with structured sections, questions, response types, and scoring where an approved method applies. Require comments or evidence for designated responses.
4. Connected evidence and findings
Attach permitted files, images, records, or controlled documents. Classify findings using your methodology and link each finding to its criterion, evidence, owner, and due date.
5. Action follow-up through closure
Track the action plan, accountable owner, deadline, implementation evidence, adequacy review, and effectiveness checks. Reopen a finding when the response is insufficient.
6. Audit reports and management visibility
Produce core audit and follow-up reports, then review completion, overdue work, and recurring findings. Core reporting is available; selected advanced analytics remain partial.
How the cycle works
- 1Build the program: Define audit types, priorities, scopes, and frequency.
- 2Plan the audit: Assign the team, dates, criteria, references, and checklist.
- 3Execute and record: Capture responses, observations, and supporting evidence.
- 4Classify findings: Connect every finding to its requirement, evidence, owner, and response date.
- 5Follow the actions: Review implementation, adequacy, and effectiveness; escalate where needed.
- 6Close and report: Complete the authorized review and create the appropriate audit output.
Integration that turns findings into action
Audit findings can connect to nonconformance records, CAPA, SCAR, tasks, Document Control, Supplier Quality, and reports. When enabled, AI can draft questions or summaries; it cannot approve a finding or close an audit. Permissions, human review, and the audit trail remain the governing controls.

Frequently asked questions
Does it support internal and supplier audits?
Yes. The current foundation supports programs, schedules, checklists, findings, follow-up, and reports across multiple scenarios, including internal and supplier audits, subject to configuration and permissions.
Is the external auditor portal complete?
Not yet as a fully independent product. End-to-end temporary external access remains partial or on the roadmap.
Can auditors work offline?
Offline execution is not a completed capability today. Teams should plan for suitable connectivity during fieldwork.
Can the system close findings automatically?
No. Closure depends on authorization, required actions and evidence, and your organization’s rules. AI suggestions also remain subject to human review.
