Two Indian tools, one honest comparison
In plain words: QMS means quality management software — the system that keeps your inspections, rejections, gauge records and corrective actions in one place. A few terms you will see below: APQP and PPAP are the approval paperwork carmakers demand before you supply a part; FMEA is listing what could go wrong and planning for it; MSA / Gauge R&R is checking your gauges actually measure right; SPC is watching the numbers to catch drift early; NCR is writing down a rejection; 8D is an eight-step problem report; and CAPA means fixing a problem so it does not come back. Fast Quality does all of this in one system.
Qsutra and Fast Quality are both India-based, so you are not choosing between a local and a foreign vendor — you are choosing the one whose design and support match your plant. Qsutra is a configurable eQMS with strength in regulated and precision industries. Fast Quality is automotive-first, built for suppliers who live and die by APQP, PPAP and the core tools. This page lays out the difference plainly.
Is this you?
Fast Quality vs Qsutra, side by side
Both are capable systems from India. The real question is fit — industry, how the automotive core tools are handled, and how hands-on you want support to be.
| Fast Quality Software | Qsutra | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Indian auto-component & discrete-manufacturing SMEs needing IATF/ISO audit-readiness with hands-on local support | Regulated and precision industries wanting a configurable eQMS |
| Auto core tools (APQP/PPAP/FMEA/MSA/SPC) | Deep — all five run as one connected, stage-gated workflow; APQP feeds PPAP, 8D/CAPA feeds back to FMEA and control plan | Configurable eQMS modules with strong quality breadth |
| Audit-readiness (IATF/ISO) | Built for IATF 16949 & ISO 9001; records created as a by-product of daily work | ISO and regulated-industry focus |
| Support | On-site setup, training & support in India from the Pune team that builds it | India-based vendor support |
| Pricing model | Per user, per plant, or a flat module fee — scoped for the Indian SME market (ask for a quote) | Configurable eQMS licensing (confirm quote) |
| Deployment | Cloud and on-premise | Cloud (confirm) |
How we compare: this table uses each vendor's own public positioning and documented focus. We do not score, rank or give star ratings — we simply describe which type of buyer each tool fits best. Features and pricing change, so confirm the current details with each vendor before you decide.
Best for Indian auto-component & manufacturing SMEs that need IATF 16949 / ISO 9001 audit-readiness with on-site support at an affordable price.
This is not a knock on Qsutra — it is a genuinely capable, configurable eQMS, and for a regulated or precision maker it may be the better match. But if you are an auto-component or discrete-manufacturing SME that wants the five automotive core tools working as one loop, with on-site Indian support and SME pricing, that is the specific lane Fast Quality is built for.
What you get with Fast Quality
- APQP planning run as timing-gated stages with a live program dashboard.
- Document-backed PPAP with up to 18 elements and the PSW sign-off.
- DFMEA/PFMEA and control plan linked to gauges and special characteristics.
- MSA / Gauge R&R and a calibration register that flags gauges before they go overdue.
- Inspection dispositioned Accepted/Rejected/Accepted-Under-Deviation, tied to stock.
- NCR → 8D → CAPA that feeds back into the FMEA and control plan, all traceable.
Why Fast Quality
Built for IATF 16949 & ISO 9001 makers
All five automotive core tools run as one connected workflow — APQP planning, document-backed PPAP with the PSW sign-off sheet, DFMEA/PFMEA and control plan, MSA / Gauge R&R with calibration follow-up, inspection and SPC, and NCR → 8D → CAPA. Not a bolt-on quality tab.
Integrates with your existing systems
Fast Quality connects with the systems you already run, so inspection, rejection and document records line up with the rest of your plant instead of living in a separate island of spreadsheets.
On-site India support & training
It is built in Pune (Nigdi) by Improsys, and the same team that writes the software sets it up, trains your inspectors and quality engineers, and answers your support calls — hands-on, in your time zone.
Affordable next to enterprise eQMS
Priced for Indian SMEs — per user, per plant, or a flat module fee — rather than the heavy licence-and-consultant model of enterprise or pharma-grade quality suites. Ask for a quote scoped to what you actually need.
Audit-ready records, automatically
The APQP, PPAP, calibration, inspection and 8D records an IATF or ISO auditor asks for are generated as a by-product of daily work, dispositioned Accepted / Rejected / Accepted-Under-Deviation, so you are not rebuilding evidence the night before the audit.
One connected loop, one database
A rejection on incoming raises an NCR, a major NCR or a customer complaint escalates into an 8D, and the CAPA amends the FMEA and control plan through change management — the loop closes and stays traceable, with no middleware between modules.
Proof, without the marketing
Fast Quality is a Fast Technology product, built in Pune (Nigdi) by Improsys — the automotive QMS profile of a 12-product suite on one shared platform. Its reference deployments are discrete-manufacturing and automotive-components plants. Improsys carries ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2013 and CMMI Level 5, provides on-site setup and support, and serves manufacturers across India and worldwide, cloud and on-premise.
