Challenge

Why Modern Quality Management Requires More Than QMS, CAQ, and PLM

Companies are facing increasing demands:

  • ever more complex products
  • shorter innovation cycles
  • global supply chains
  • stricter compliance and safety standards
  • growing pressure for sustainability

Traditional solutions are no longer sufficient:

  • CAQ typically remains operational and is not tightly integrated with engineering or safety.
  • QMS focuses on documentation rather than providing real process support.
  • PLM manages product data but treats quality only as a peripheral aspect.

eQMS addresses these challenges by connecting engineering, quality, safety, and the supply chain through a digital quality thread (digital thread).

More than electronic. Consciously enhanced.

eQMS – enhanced Quality Management System

PeakAvenue defines eQMS as the evolution of the traditional QMS:

  • electronic by design – fully digital
  • enhanced – connected, methodologically deep, and capable of learning
  • evolved for the future – cloud-based, scalable, and integration-ready

Unlike a purely electronic QMS, PeakAvenue connects methods, data, and processes across the entire product lifecycle.

From requirements to SPC: methods, data, and processes seamlessly connected

PeakAvenue brings together the strengths of leading specialist brands in quality, risk, and product development under one roof — creating true end-to-end quality:

  • Requirements Management
  • FMEA (Design & Process)
  • FTA / RAMS
  • Inspection Planning & QMS
  • PPAP / Initial Sampling
  • Complaint & Audit Management
  • Statistical Process Control (SPC)

All content is interconnected, fully traceable, and auditable — along a seamless digital thread.

APIS, iqs, Isograph, PLATO & OSSENO

Strong Brands. Deep Expertise. One Unified Platform.

PeakAvenue brings together the expertise of leading, internationally established software brands for quality, risk, and product development under one roof. For decades, these brands have stood for methodological depth, practical applicability, and global standards within their respective disciplines.

The Expertise Foundation of PeakAvenue eQMS

  • APIS – the global leader in FMEA and risk analysis
  • PLATO – a globally leading engineering platform with FMEA as a core component
  • Isograph – internationally recognized for FTA, RAMS, and safety engineering
  • iqs – powerful QMS solutions, including PPAP, initial sampling, and supplier quality
  • OSSENO – specialized in requirements management with intelligent assistance

Together, these brands form the professional foundation of the PeakAvenue eQMS, backed by deep industry expertise in automotive, medical technology, aerospace & defense, mechanical engineering, and the electronics & semiconductor industries.

From Individual Systems to an eQMS Platform

Today’s proven standalone solutions are gradually being unified into a shared, future-ready eQMS platform at PeakAvenue.

Our Objective

  • preserve proven methodological expertise
  • break down silos
  • connect data, methods, and processes
  • create a seamless digital thread

The result is an eQMS built on real market experience — not theoretical concepts.

Integration Means More Than Technology

We see integration as both a technological and cultural endeavor — bringing people, methods, and shared quality principles together.

  • We connect teams, experience, and best practices.
  • We unite methodological depth with innovative strength.
  • We create a shared vision for modern quality management.
  • We continuously evolve our platform based on real customer practice.

The result is a platform that brings engineering and quality together and continuously evolves them.

Why It Matters

We combine proven solutions with a clear future vision for eQMS.

  • Investment security: proven solutions with a future-ready roadmap
  • Methodological depth: no “one-size-fits-all” approach
  • Global acceptance: established standards and methodologies
  • Seamless evolution: from standalone solutions to eQMS
  • Trust: decades of expertise, consolidated in a single platform

PeakAvenue marks a quantum leap — from proven quality and engineering systems to an integrated eQMS.

Understand systems, mitigate risks early, and design quality from the start.

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) structures complex systems through models, functions, and dependencies.

Design for Quality (DFQ) ensures that quality is integrated early in the development process—instead of being inspected later.

PeakAvenue brings both approaches together within eQMS:

  • MBSE provides the system logic (functions, dependencies, variants)
  • DFQ applies methods such as requirements, FMEA, and FTA for early risk mitigation
  • eQMS connects both along the digital thread

The result: quality is systematically designed—not controlled after the fact.

AI, Closed Loops, and Supply Chain Transparency

Innovation Drivers in the PeakAvenue eQMS

PeakAvenue combines deep methodological expertise with modern technology to create a learning, connected quality management system.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence is an integral part of the eQMS and supports teams in:

  • identifying patterns in quality and development data
  • assessing risks at an early stage
  • suggesting preventive actions
  • making data-driven decisions

By embedding AI across the eQMS, PeakAvenue creates a new level of process reliability — from requirements management and FMEA to manufacturing.

Closed Loops | Lessons Learned

Closed loops connect all phases of the product lifecycle:

  • development
  • production
  • operation
  • service
  • complaints

Insights flow back into requirements, FMEAs, inspection plans, and actions for continuous improvement.

Transparent Supply Chain

With PeakAvenue, the supply chain becomes transparent:

  • a shared data foundation for suppliers, partners, and OEMs
  • traceable PPAP and CAQ processes
  • real-time visibility into supplier quality, risks, and trends
  • measurable compliance and sustainability

This turns the supply chain into a transparent, controllable component of end-to-end quality management.
