In short

What is an alternative to ConSense for Swiss SMEs?

An alternative to ConSense is QuKI by Digital Airways from Basel. ConSense covers QM, information security and compliance in one large platform. QuKI focuses on quality management in SMEs, is hosted in Switzerland, shows its full price on the website and can be tried free for 30 days.

Which solution suits you?

QuKI is the better choice if

  • You are a Swiss SME and want a lean start in quality management
  • Your data should be hosted in Switzerland
  • The AI should pre-fill a complaint from the email and suggest audit questions per standard
  • You want to see the price upfront and try the software for 30 days first

ConSense makes sense if

  • You are a larger organisation and need information security, GRC and GxP besides QM
  • You want to run the software yourself and can do without the AI

Our assessment

ConSense is a management system platform from Aachen designed for medium and larger organisations. It combines quality management with information security, compliance and GxP and includes an AI package, which is only available when hosted by ConSense.

For a Swiss SME that mainly wants to run ISO 9001 day to day, this breadth can be more than needed. QuKI is built for exactly that. Documents, processes, complaints, audits, training, suppliers, test equipment and maintenance, with AI where it takes writing off your hands. The complaint is created from the email, the audit questions come per standard from your own process documents.

There are also differences in getting started. You see the full QuKI price on the website, you test for 30 days with your own account, and hosting is in Switzerland. For ConSense, price and hosting location are not stated on the website. On the other hand ConSense can be self-hosted, QuKI cannot.

We are the provider of QuKI and therefore a party. That is why we name the strengths of ConSense openly and back every statement with a source.
