MasterControl publishes nine industry verticals and aerospace is not among them. If your obligations are AS9100, AS9120, ITAR or a prime's flow-down, you are buying a system built for somebody else's regulator. This one reads a receiving trace package and returns a dispositioned verdict cited to your standard.
No pitch about who is better. You bring a real trace package and watch what each kind of system is actually built to do with it.
Every one of these is live today. Every one files a record you can hand to an auditor.
The AI reads. A rules engine decides. That split is what makes the output defensible evidence instead of an opinion.
Drop in the whole receiving package. It classifies 17 document types, runs about 40 checks, validates the CAGE code against SAM.gov, tests the source against your own approved supplier list, and cites every finding to the standard and to your customer's flow-down.
It reads the paperwork, not the parts. The review that ate an afternoon takes minutes, and a named human still signs the disposition.
Attach the drawing and ask. It balloons every accountable characteristic per AS9102 Rev C and drafts the forms into a numbered record.
You do not fill out a form. You ask, and the first article builds itself.
Check your first article before your customer does. Including the characteristic count mismatch that bounces most packages.
Catch the rejection at your desk instead of at theirs.
Screens a party against the U.S. Consolidated Screening List, walks the ITAR and EAR fork, and files the determination once a qualified person signs.
It never clears a party on its own. A named human signs, and the record proves it.
Procedures, audit plans, corrective actions, management review packs, system security plans, job hazard analyses, end user statements.
Drafted against the standard you hold, in your language.
Every morning it hands you what needs you today. Reviews due, acknowledgments unsigned, findings about to breach, training about to expire.
Thirty seconds instead of twenty minutes of digging.
The second time is always faster than the first, because the system already knows the answer and who signed it.
You run a receiving package for a part from a broker you have not bought from before. It flags the source, checks your approved supplier list, and holds the package.
Six weeks later the same CAGE code appears on a different purchase order. The hold, the reason and the person who reviewed it come straight back. Nothing re-derived.
A capable platform pointed at the wrong regulator still leaves you doing the aerospace work by hand.
You do not need a better life sciences platform. You need one that knows what a mill cert is.
Everything in this column is sourced to what each company publishes. We do not guess at a competitor's capability and we do not claim they cannot do things.
Nine published industry verticals, none of them aerospace. Self-described as the number one QMS in life sciences.
Built for AS9100, AS9120, ITAR and prime flow-downs, by an auditor who has sat on both sides of an aerospace audit table.
A published quality module list covering document control, CAPA, training, audit, risk and quality events.
The same ground, plus the receiving-inspection trace review that is absent from every published eQMS module list we checked.
AS9102 first article inspection does not appear in the published module list.
First article ballooning and a reviewer that catches the characteristic count mismatch before your customer does.
Export classification and denied party screening do not appear in the published module list.
Screening against the U.S. Consolidated Screening List, with the ITAR and EAR fork walked and the determination filed once a qualified person signs.
No published pricing. Contact representatives.
No published pricing either. The difference is you see the whole system running on your own paperwork before anyone talks commercials.
If you are a medical device or pharmaceutical company, be honest with yourself: their fit is better than ours and we will say so on the call.
Not a general purpose AI tool with a compliance label stuck on the front.
I have written the corrective action, and I have been the one who rejected it. That is the difference between a tool that sounds right and one that survives contact with an auditor.
Omie Trikha, founder, QMS Leader
Nearly two decades implementing and auditing quality systems for aerospace, defense, and manufacturing. Every play in it came off a real floor.
Built on a commercial AI agreement that contractually bars the provider from training on your data. Not a setting somebody has to remember to switch off.
AS9100D, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, IATF 16949, ISO 27001, CMMC and NIST 800-171, ITAR, FDA 21 CFR 820, OSHA.
The dashboard and the evidence package were built for the person who has to hand something to a registrar, not for a marketing page.
Everything below is included. Nothing below is an upsell.
This is the first question every quality director asks, so it gets answered before you book anything. Send your security questionnaire ahead of the demo and we will return it completed, line by line.
The one with the missing certificate, the broker in the middle and the heat lot that does not tie out. We run it live and you judge the verdict against what you would have called yourself.
