Raw Material Document Management Software
A spreadsheet reference is not enough to understand a raw material. Its technical information is spread across data sheets, specifications and supplier documents. QuiMatrix brings that document knowledge together around each raw material and makes it accessible to the teams that use it.
Request a demoTechnical information loses context between departments
R&D needs a specification, quality needs supporting evidence and purchasing needs to identify the supplier. When each team keeps separate files, answering questions depends on particular people. A shared document inventory provides a common information source and helps teams avoid rebuilding the record for every enquiry.
Build a searchable raw material document inventory
Connect products and documentation
Organise raw materials, intermediate products and finished products together with their SDS, technical data sheets and other evidence.
Turn documents into useful information
Use assisted extraction to structure fields and support searches while keeping human review within the process.
Share the working context
Give R&D, quality, purchasing and regulatory teams access to technical information and document status to help coordinate their reviews.
A typical workflow: reviewing documentation for alternatives
A technical team needs to review information about several raw materials. Instead of collecting files from multiple folders, it accesses the documentation linked to each reference and uses document comparison to support its review. Specifications and documents provide evidence; assessing whether an alternative is technically suitable remains the team’s responsibility.
Frequently asked questions
Is this stock control software?
QuiMatrix focuses on the document inventory: products, raw materials, suppliers and their documents. Warehouse movements, stock quantities and production planning should be assessed within the scope of your company’s management systems.
Can I include intermediate and finished products?
Yes. The document environment can bring together raw materials, intermediate products and finished products, with the technical documentation associated with each one.
Where should we start?
Identify a set of product references and the documents your team uses, review their status and assign validation responsibilities. A QuiMatrix document pre-assessment helps identify priorities before agreeing an implementation scope.
