Quality Management Software for Manufacturing in Pothera ERP
Pothera ERP quality management builds inspection into the flow: inward material, work in progress, semi-finished and finished goods, and pre-dispatch. Teams define their own test parameters, record results against the lot or order, analyse rejections and track corrective actions, with process log sheets — so quality data drives decisions instead of filling files.
Who it is for: Pothera ERP quality management is built for Indian manufacturers with roughly ₹10–500 crore annual turnover that inspect at several stages and want rejections and corrective actions on one record.
Built by Bsquare Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Noida · part of The Nambiar Group · 25 years in business · 1,000+ manufacturing and trading clients.

Bsquare’s take
“Quality on paper is a record of what went wrong. Quality in the ERP is a warning about what is about to go wrong — because the same rejection shows up across shifts, suppliers and machines.”
Five inspection points in Pothera ERP

| WIP | Process problems while they can still be fixed | Production order, machine, shift |
| SFG | Sub-assembly defects | Production order, lot |
| FG | Finished product conformance | Lot, order |
| Pre-dispatch | Packing, labelling and final checks | Customer order, dispatch |

Frequently asked questions
What is quality management software in manufacturing?
It records and controls inspection and quality events across the production flow — inward, in-process and final — with test results, rejections and corrective actions linked to the lot, order and supplier.
What are the stages of quality inspection in manufacturing?
Typically inward (incoming material), in-process or WIP, semi-finished, finished goods and pre-dispatch. Pothera ERP supports inspection at all five.
What is cost of poor quality?
Cost of poor quality is what defects cost you: scrapped material, rework labour, re-inspection, and the cost of defects that reach customers. Our free calculator estimates it from your rejection data.
What is first pass yield?
First pass yield is the share of units that pass inspection the first time without rework: good first-time units ÷ units started × 100.
Does Pothera ERP track corrective actions?
Yes. Pothera ERP tracks corrective actions along with rejection analysis and process log sheets.
Is Pothera ERP a QMS for ISO certification?
Pothera ERP keeps the inspection, rejection and corrective-action records a quality system relies on. Certification depends on your overall system and auditor.
