Needs
Quality and document management processes were carried out across different departments and platforms. While this structure enabled operations to continue, it also revealed areas for improvement in terms of standardization, traceability, and institutional knowledge.
In particular, the need emerged for a single, integrated, and sustainable platform to enable end-to-end tracking of the document lifecycle, centralized monitoring of actions and CAPAs, comprehensive visibility in audit and reporting processes, and improved traceability in change management. This need was shaped as a natural outcome of the organization’s vision to further strengthen its quality culture across the enterprise through digital tools.
QDMS – Integrated Management System Solution
QDMS brings quality, document, risk, and process management together on a single digital platform. It enables end-to-end traceability of audit and action processes and provides centralized document version control and approval management. In addition, with comprehensive features such as risk analysis, process performance monitoring, and the automatic generation of management review reports, QDMS offers a holistic approach to quality processes.
Why Bimser?
The primary reason for choosing Bimser was its expertise in corporate quality management and its flexible platform structure. Instead of a ready-made solution, a system tailored to the organization was designed by taking SOCAR’s organizational structure, authority, and responsibility matrix, as well as audit and quality expectations into consideration. This approach provided a critical advantage in terms of long-term sustainability and scalability. After implementation, support and consultancy processes were carried out with a fast, accessible, systematic, and solution-oriented approach. The responsiveness to support requests, along with remote support and consultancy capabilities, ensured operational continuity and enabled a smooth transition to the system’s live usage.
