Quality control built for the shop floor.NOMINAL

Yes. The Parts Library has CSV import with a ready-made template, so you can load your whole part list — specs, tolerances, customers — in one shot. And everything you enter can be exported again anytime.

NominalQC keeps the records auditors ask to see: inspection logs with inspector traceability, NCRs with dispositions, CAPAs with root cause and effectiveness checks, gauge calibration records, training and competence, audits, management reviews, and the ISO 9001:2026 system registers from scope and risks to continual improvement. You still run your quality system, and the auditor decides conformance — we make the evidence quick to produce.

Yes — the Quality System page holds a register for each part of the 2026 edition that calls for a record, grouped by clause, including the changes: climate change as an issue and an interested-party requirement, quality culture and ethics, and the revised management review inputs.

Not quietly. Recorded inspection measurements and submitted audit answers are write-once at the database level — edits are rejected outright, not just discouraged. A closed NCR refuses changes to its details until it is formally reopened, and once work starts on a CAPA it becomes a permanent quality record that cannot be deleted. Where deletion is allowed, it leaves a named, timestamped entry in the activity log.

Most shops log their first inspection the same day. Add your parts (or import them from CSV), invite your team, and start inspecting. No IT project, no implementation contract, no training course.

Yes. NominalQC runs in the browser and works on phones, tablets, and shop computers. Nothing to install, nothing to maintain.

No. Inspectors and managers get accounts with roles (owner, admin, inspector, viewer). For operators without logins, quality alerts come with printable alert sheets and signature rosters so the floor can still acknowledge on paper.

Your records are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), with daily snapshots retained for 7 days — and you can download your own complete CSV export in one click, anytime. The full details are on our Trust & Security page. Read our Trust & Security page →

Yes. Anyone can turn on two-factor with an authenticator app in Settings → Security, and owners can require it by role with a grace period. Recovery codes come with it, and an owner can reset a teammate who loses both phone and codes.

No. Cal, the guide inside the app, searches pages, your records and the help, and shows what’s left on the record you’re viewing. Cal on this website answers from our own pages. Both are plain software — no AI model, so nothing you type is sent to one.

It leaves with you. Download a complete archive — inspections, measurements, NCRs, CAPAs, and your parts library as CSVs in a single ZIP — in one click, anytime. And if we ever closed shop, you would get 90 days’ notice and a complete data package before anything shut down.

Yes. If your purchasing process runs on POs, we invoice — net-30 terms, your PO number on every invoice, payable by ACH, card, or check. Annual invoicing is the usual fit for procurement. Request a quote on the quote page and we send a written quote your purchasing team can raise a PO against, with a 60-day free pilot first; a W-9, vendor information packet and security overview are available on request. And since one user is free with no time limit, nothing stops while the paperwork is in process.

Yes. One user is free with no time limit, and Team, Pro and Enterprise each start with a 14-day free trial — no credit card for either. Plants buying Enterprise on a quote get a 60-day pilot instead. Subscribe during the trial from Settings → Billing to keep the plan; if you don’t, the account carries on free for one user with everything you entered. If it doesn’t fit your shop, walk away with your data.
