NominalQC - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

NominalQC is quality control and QMS software for small manufacturers. It runs in the browser on shop computers, tablets and phones — nothing to install, nothing to maintain.

Floor execution

• Inspections checked against part tolerances as readings are entered — out-of-spec values flag live, pass/fail rolls up on its own; SPC control charts and Cp/Cpk come from the same data

• Gauges and calibration: an out-of-cal gauge cannot be picked at inspection

• Quality alerts that lock the inspection form until each inspector acknowledges by name

• NCRs raised in one click from a failed inspection, with hold tags that carry a scan-to-disposition QR code

• CAPAs with 8D and 5-Why worksheets, closure gated on a verified effectiveness check, and a customer-ready 8D report

• Layered process audits to CQI-8 with rotation and reaction plans

• Certificates of conformance printed from the inspection record, with test methods per characteristic

Quality-system registers

• Internal audit programme with clause-tagged findings and verification of effectiveness

• Management review with review-period data, inputs and decisions by clause, an attendance roster and printed minutes

• Approved supplier list with performance evaluations and SCARs sent, chased and verified

• Customer complaints with containment, a response-due clock and linked NCR/CAPA

• Change control with impact review and sequential approval chains

• Training and competence matrix with expiry tracking and evidence

• Quality objectives with results charted against target; records retention schedule; document control with read-and-understood by name

Pricing is flat with no per-seat fees. One user is free with every feature and no time limit, and the live demo needs no signup.
