QA Manager (Version 1)

QA Manager (Version 1) is AQS’s original quality management system, developed to help organizations track, manage, and maintain ongoing compliance requirements across laboratory, environmental, health, and safety programs.

Built as a web-based platform, QA Manager introduced a centralized approach to managing both one-time and recurring tasks—helping teams stay organized, meet deadlines, and remain prepared for audits and inspections.

Core Capabilities

QA Manager (Version 1) established a structured, workflow-driven system for compliance management, including:

Centralized task tracking for individuals and teams
Recurring tasks with automated scheduling
Prioritized task lists and deadline management
Optional review and approval steps for critical activities
Document and photo attachments for supporting records
Inspection tracking and checklist management
Corrective and preventive action (CAPA) tracking
Email notifications and reminders

These capabilities helped organizations reduce manual tracking, improve accountability, and maintain audit-ready systems.

Evolving to the Next Generation

QA Manager is currently being re-engineered to provide a more modern, flexible, and fully integrated quality management platform—designed specifically for environmental laboratories and compliance programs.

The next generation of QA Manager builds on the proven foundation of Version 1, with enhancements including:

Improved user interface and usability
Expanded workflow configuration and automation
Integrated document control and training management
Enhanced audit, inspection, and corrective action tools
Better alignment with laboratory accreditation requirements

A Proven Foundation

QA Manager (Version 1) has been successfully used to manage real-world compliance programs and continues to inform the design of the next-generation platform.
