Available as both a cloud-based and on-premise platform, the platform includes tools for a wide range of quality control activities, such as developing quality control plans, conducting first article inspections (FAI), managing incoming, in-process and final inspections, monitoring factory performance, controlling variation through statistical process control (SPC), handling inspection data and addressing non-conformances and corrective actions (CAPA). The first article inspection module streamlines workflows by automatically reading drawing features. Users can add balloons, specify tolerances, capture data zones and extract dimensional data from digital gages, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), or upload files in formats such as .csv and .xlsx. Reports are generated in formats compliant with standards like AS9102, ensuring consistency and easy sharing. Inspection data is traceable to work orders, serial numbers, dates, inspectors and measurement gages. Real-time capabilities include process capability calculations and variation monitoring through histograms, run charts and SPC tools. Dashboards built into the tool display key metrics such as supplier performance and defective pareto analyses, providing actionable insights. The integrated non-conformance and CAPA modules facilitate problem-solving and drive continuous improvement. Key features include automatic drawing ballooning, quality control plans, first article inspections, AS9102 reporting, automated CMM data import, SPC, gage calibration management, non-conformance reporting (NCR), supplier corrective action requests (SCAR), audit findings tracking and supplier collaboration capabilities. The platform supports validated software requirements, enhancing security and compliance for critical industry standards. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 49 users.

The ability to pull data from computer-based gages automatically is huge for the inspection process. This saves us time and money from having to hand type in all of our data. Creating inspections plans is way easy than most of the other softwares we have used. All of our comments, questions, and concerns when using this software have been met with open minds and care by the customer service team. > > **Cons**: Initially the leader lines for balloons didn't work all the time. The OCR didn't always distinguish between text/numeric properly. > > 1Factory has made my job easier when it comes to creating inspection plans and gather data from the shop floor. I enjoy using this software and hope to use more of its features in the future to help my company grow. ----- ### "Worth the Investment" — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *29 March 2018* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you work in Quality Control, this will be the most powerful tool you can use day-to-day. Within days our production floor experienced 40% less non-conformances . As a defense contractor, our customers appreciated the AS9102 format and our inspectors now spend more time actually inspecting now that reports are seamlessly generated. > > **Cons**: There is a slight learning curve for this software, but this can be easily overcome even for the most basic user. Just make sure you spend the time reading the tutorials/introduction training - you won't regret it\! ----- ### "QMS software change and upgrade" — 5.0/5 > **Wade** | *27 May 2026* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that 1Factory is an all-in-one system—it ties together inspection, calibration, assembly, and APQP in one place. It’s given me a much clearer view of issues so I can spot them, track them, and measure them across every stage of production. Plus, it’s really easy to use and way more intuitive than the system we had before > > **Cons**: At the beginning the hardest part was to import existing data and/or documents. However, since then 1Factory has worked with us to mitigate those difficulties and has improved this process. Specifically, the methods for incorporating documents has improved by 100%. Originally, we also had a loss of function in a few areas during our transition, but again 1Factory listened to our concerns, found wisdom in our requests and made software improvements. > > Overall, we’ve had a really positive experience with 1Factory—it’s a huge upgrade from the QMS software we used before. I appreciate how easy they are to work with; the team is responsive, supportive, and genuinely great to have as a partner. The software offers a lot more capability than we’re used to. It has built-in features that help us monitor and improve our processes across the entire flow—from suppliers all the way through to customers. ----- ### "1Factory - a welcomed application" — 4.0/5 > **Michael** | *6 January 2025* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Well designed, easy to use, quick/easy access to raw data downloads in each of the modules. > > **Cons**: Not all data is available to download. Missing ability to Mass Update (for e.g., in instances of multiple variants of Supplier/Vendor Names). Very weak reporting options. > > 1Factory is a relatively new application, so there are various opportunities for improvement, but the support staff is unbelievably good - very quick to respond to issues/suggestions. Very helpful. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/42840/1factory?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/42840/1factory) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
