Build audit-ready QMS systems people actually use

Combine document control, workflows, approvals, role-based access

and audit trails — without drowning clients in admin.

Modern QMS delivery. Powered by Kinabase.
CLIENT CHALLENGES

Why existing QMS approaches fall short

Your clients need compliance—but legacy QMS tools are rigid, expensive and hard to use. Spreadsheet-based workarounds create more risk than they solve.

Document control chaos

SOPs, policies and controlled documents scattered across shared drives with no version control, approval tracking or access management.

Manual audit evidence

Hours spent gathering evidence for audits—chasing spreadsheets, email trails and approval records across multiple systems.

Scattered training records

Training logs, competency records and certification expiry dates maintained in spreadsheets with no automated alerts.

QMS PARTNER FAQS

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our platform.

Can Kinabase support ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and other standards?

Yes. Kinabase is flexible enough to support any management system standard. Collections, workflows, audit trails and document control can be configured to meet the requirements of ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and other frameworks. The ISO clause-to-system mapping in the partner kit covers the most common standards.

How do digital signatures work?

Workflow transitions can require digital signatures before a record moves to the next stage. Signatures capture the user identity, timestamp and any additional signature fields you configure. This provides a full approval trail for auditors.

Can clients generate documents from Kinabase?

Yes. The document editor allows you to create multi-page templates with logos, QR codes, text, images and charts. These templates can be populated with record data and generated as PDFs—either manually or through automations. This is ideal for certificates, reports, audit summaries and controlled documents.

What level of audit trail detail is available?

Kinabase logs 100+ event types including record creation, updates, deletions, permission changes, workflow transitions, automation executions and user authentication events. Each event captures the user, timestamp, IP address and relevant metadata—providing comprehensive evidence for auditors.

How does training record management work?

You can build collections for training records, certifications and competency matrices. Workflow automations can send alerts when certifications are approaching expiry. Dashboards provide real-time visibility of training compliance across the organisation.
