CIS Continuous Improvement Software
Real-Time Quality Management That Connects Quality and Operations
CIS Software brings inspections, audits, corrective actions, document control, calibration, suppliers, production and reporting together in one configurable platform.
Capture accurate information at the source, maintain complete traceability and give your team the current information it needs to improve quality, strengthen compliance and make better decisions.
The challenge
Quality becomes difficult to manage when information is scattered
Paper records, spreadsheets and disconnected databases make it difficult to see what is happening across the organization. Information arrives late, follow-up actions are easily missed and preparing for an audit becomes a time-consuming search for evidence.
These gaps do more than create administrative work. They make it harder to identify risks, understand performance and act before a problem affects a customer.
Common warning signs
- Inspection and production data are recorded in separate systems.
- Corrective actions depend on manual reminders and follow-up.
- Document revisions and training records are difficult to verify.
- Supplier and process performance is reviewed after problems occur.
- Audit preparation requires information from multiple departments.
The CIS approach
Turn your quality system into a connected, real-time operation
CIS links quality requirements directly to the work being performed. Records, responsibilities, approvals, evidence and results remain connected from initial entry through review and completion.
- Capture information where the work occurs.
- Assign responsibility and due dates.
- Maintain complete histories and audit trails.
- Control access by user role and responsibility.
- Monitor KPIs, trends and overdue actions.
- Use current data for management decisions.

Designed around your organization
Configure the software to match the way your business works
CIS is designed to adapt to your processes rather than forcing every organization into the same workflow. Trained administrators can configure databases, fields, forms, pages, filters, reports, permissions and workflows without conventional software programming.
When your requirements go beyond standard configuration, additional development and integration support is available.
Configuration options include
- User-defined fields and forms
- Role-based permissions and visibility
- Approval and notification workflows
- Custom reports and dashboards
- Excel data export
- Optional API and EDI integrations
Flexible deployment

CIS can be delivered as a cloud-based web application, hosted on your own infrastructure or configured as a hybrid solution. Your deployment can be matched to your operational, IT and data-management requirements.
Cloud Deployment
Secure web access without requiring your organization to operate the application servers.
Local Deployment
Host CIS on your own infrastructure when internal control of the environment is required.
Security & Integrity
Support controlled access with role-based permissions, user authentication, audit trails and secure HTTPS connections.
