Factored Quality Changelog: October 2023
Update 1
Anvyl Integration Improvement
Anvyl has been a long-time partner of Factored Quality and for many consumer goods brands, serves as their “system of record." Anvyl is a purchase order management platform that consumer goods brands use to create and issues purchase orders.
Factored Quality and Anvyl have had a longstanding partnership. Historically, brands have been able to sync their Factored Quality and Anvyl platforms, so any product or supplier changes in Anyvl are reflected in the Factored Quality platform.
Now, with the next version of our Anvyl x Factored Quality partnership, brands can sync their products, suppliers, and purchase orders.
What does this mean?
When a brand creates purchase orders in Anvyl - those orders will be auto-synced to the Factored Quality platform.
From there, brands will be able to choose relevant purchase orders they want to run inspections on - and can book anything from an in-line inspection, pre-shipment inspection, or inventory audit on the products/suppliers designated in the purchase order.
This feature allows for an unprecedented level of automation between operations, supply chain, and quality teams.
Update 2
Factored Quality - Internal QMS
When Factored Quality launched two years ago, we started as a platform that helped US-based brands book and run 3rd party quality control audits and inspections in China.
As we’ve started working with increasingly large brands, our team has seen that many of our customers utilize hybrid manufacturing models.
What does this mean?
In some regions, brands use completely outsourced 3rd party manufacturers. In other regions, they either own their manufacturing partners or work with external manufacturers - but have in-house members of their operations team boots on the ground at these facilities.
Until today, there has never been an internal quality management platform that helped brands run 3rd party inspections and/or streamine internal workflow in the event they utilize in-house quality resources.
With the new Factored Quality QMS platform, brands can:
- Use FQ as an internal QMS and a workflow tool that thelps them streamline their global quality programs
- Onboard quality engineers at their own factories onto Factored Quality
- Build custom inspection reporting workflows
- Continue to tap into the FQ global 3rd party inspector network, if needed.
