Challenge

When complaints turn into unnecessary costs

Unstructured complaint management not only puts a strain on your quality assurance, but also on your customer relationships - and has a direct impact on your profitability.

  • Undetected repeat failures: Without systematic detection, known failures recur and cause additional costs.
  • Unresolved causes: The lack of methods such as 8D, Ishikawa, or 5-Why makes structured analysis difficult.
  • High manual effort: Creating reports, emails, and evaluations ties up capacity and increases the likelihood of failure.
  • Inflexible processes: Complaint processes are difficult to adapt to internal specifications or standards.
  • Difficult collaboration: Communication with suppliers or specialist departments takes place without digital support.
  • Isolated systems: Complaints are not automatically linked to FMEA or action management.

Without powerful complaint management software, you risk recurring failures, customer dissatisfaction, and unnecessary process costs.

Solution

Manage your complaints systematically

With our complaint management software, you can manage your processes intelligently, in a networked and traceable manner – from the initial report to effective action.

  • Process complaints centrally: You can bundle internal, external, and supplier complaints in a uniform process.
  • Ensure standardized workflows: Predefined workflows and reports bring structure and speed to your processing.
  • Avoid repeat failures: Similar complaints are automatically recognized, allowing you to rule out repeat failures at an early stage.
  • Systematically link quality knowledge: Failure causes and actions are directly linked to FMEA and analysis modules.
  • Identify deviations early on: An early warning system alerts you to critical developments before they escalate.
  • Evaluate and improve in a targeted manner: You identify focal points, causes, and costs as a basis for your targeted optimization.
  • Implement actions effectively: Link actions to causes and track them in a timely manner.

This is how you turn complaints from a disruptive factor into a powerful tool and achieve higher quality, better processes, and fewer repeat failures.
