Introducing AutoForms® for DocBase Direct®
Appearances can be deceiving!
Your company and your quality and environmental systems are unique. In order to drive real continual improvement through your organization, your quality management system (QMS) or environmental management system (EMS), and your software tools, must be flexible.
Most of the QMS/EMS software today forces you to change your company's procedures to follow pre-programmed processes. They only provide "canned" input screens to collect the data the software developer thought was important. And you're often forced to buy multiple "modules" in order to expand your automated quality system, raising your costs and making the whole system more complicated to use.
Improvements and corrective actions designed to improve your quality system are often limited by hard-coded software routines, usually requiring a programmer to make changes.
What if ...
DocBase Direct®'s AutoForms® gives you the flexibility to create your electronic quality system to match your company's unique way of doing things. With DocBase Direct® as your core document control system and your company forms converted into electronic AutoForms®, you can easily set up your automated quality system in a way that works for you.
