Features include:

  • SPC Charts: Get to the discovery phase of your processes faster and reveal what your data is telling you. Analyze mass amounts of data easily, utilizing the software’s SPC charting tools. This allows users to cut through the noise and get to the information that you need.
  • Process Alerts: Prevent quality control issues with immediate process feedback.
  • Capability Analysis: Improve your quality performance by using capability analysis to assess whether your process is statistically capable of meeting specifications or requirements. Ensure processes are on target with minimal variation with a selection of capability analysis calculations.
  • Industry Compliance: Comply with industry standards including, ISO9000 & ISO9001, ISO/IATF 16949, AS9100, FDA CFR 21 part 11, and others. Maintain an audit trail with a robust and precise record of changes to your data in order to maintain a historic record. Respond to audit requests with ease and spend less time searching for SPC data with powerful filtering tools.
  • Data Collection: Manually enter measurements, import data from a variety of sources like SQL and Excel, or input data directly from equipment such as CMMs and handheld measurement devices.
  • Reporting: Use a report template or create your own to easily share SPC charts, process capability and process performance statistics, Certificates of Analysis, and more.

FAQ

Common questions about PQ Systems

Don't see your question? Ask the team.

What's the difference between SQCpack and GAGEpack?

SQCpack is the SPC software — process control charts, capability studies, real-time monitoring. GAGEpack is the gage calibration management software — scheduled calibrations, gauge inventory, R&R studies. Most quality teams need both; they integrate so SPC data and gauge accuracy stay connected.

Does PQ Systems work for small and mid-market manufacturers?

Yes. SQCpack and GAGEpack are designed to be approachable for plant-floor quality teams without requiring a dedicated statistician. Larger enterprise customers also run PQ Systems alongside InfinityQS for specific sites.

Is implementation handled by Advantive or by a partner?

Advantive provides direct implementation services for all brands. A named implementation lead is assigned at kickoff and stays with the project through go-live. Partner-led implementations are available for select brands when a customer prefers an existing systems integrator.

How does this product connect to Advantive ONE?

Advantive ONE extends each brand with cross-system intelligence — surfacing patterns across your ERP, MES, quality, and warehouse data. It runs as a layer on top of your product, not a replacement. Customers on a current support contract are eligible.

What does the support contract include?

Standard support covers software updates, the customer portal (knowledge base + ticketing), and the Advantive support team during business hours in your region. Premium tiers add dedicated customer success, extended SLA coverage, and 24/7 critical-incident response.
