The QM-Pilot alternative with AI in complaints, audits and training

QM-Pilot is a QM software from Basel focused on processes and documents. QuKI also manages complaints, audits, training, suppliers, test equipment and maintenance, and the AI works directly in these workflows.

More than 60 companies trust our solutions. From CHF 110 per month.

In short

What is an alternative to QM-Pilot?

An alternative to QM-Pilot is QuKI by Digital Airways, also from Basel. QM-Pilot is strong in process and document management and offers AI as an add-on module. With ten modules QuKI also covers complaints, audits, training, suppliers, test equipment and maintenance and uses AI directly in these workflows, for example to pre-fill a complaint from an email.

Which solution suits you?

QuKI is the better choice if

  • Besides documents and processes you also manage complaints, audits, training, suppliers, test equipment and maintenance
  • The AI should pre-fill a complaint from email, PDF or photo and create the audit report
  • You work with industry standards such as IFS, BRCGS, IATF 16949 or ISO 13485
  • You want to see the complete price on the website upfront

QM-Pilot makes sense if

  • You strictly need a perpetual licence or operation on your own servers
  • Your QM consists essentially of processes and documents
  • The AI must run contractually in a Swiss Azure region

Our assessment

QM-Pilot and QuKI both come from Basel but follow different approaches. QM-Pilot focuses on process and document management. If you prefer to buy your software or run it on your own servers, it offers that option, QuKI is only available as a subscription in the browser.

They also approach AI differently. QM-Pilot offers an AI module with chat, writing help and analysis and lets the AI run contractually in a defined Azure region, the website names Switzerland North as an example. QuKI brings the AI into the workflows. It pre-fills a complaint from the email, suggests audit questions per standard with a confidence score, creates the audit report and turns training documents into comprehension questions. QuKI deliberately has no general chat over the documentation.

Another difference is scope. Besides documents and processes, QuKI manages complaints, audits, training, risks, continuous improvement, suppliers, test equipment and maintenance, every standard as its own rule set. The price depends on the number of employees and is fully published on the website.

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