Elements

Quality, health, safety and environment in one system

Elements is the quality management platform from Icologiq, a software company for regulated organisations. The company describes a world in which technology moves fast and quality and safety requirements keep tightening, and says its software lets an organisation comply with local and international standards and guidelines wherever it operates. The current site calls the product a configurable electronic quality management system that connects quality, QHSE, compliance and improvement processes across sites and countries.

Nine modules

The platform is built from nine modules that standardise and automate the quality, health, safety and environment processes of a business:

• Document management for controlled documents.
• Complaints management.
• Compliance management.
• Risk management.
• Audit management.
• Training and competence.
• Continual improvement.
• Management of change.
• Corrective and preventive action, known as CAPA.

Deployment choices

Elements supports mobile use as well as hosted, on-premise and hybrid set-ups, and is aimed at international organisations around the world. That matters for firms that need their data on their own servers, or that operate in several countries with different rules.

Implementation as a partnership

The company says its method rests on close cooperation with the customer. It does not only supply software but also guides the client through implementation from the first moment. Drawing on experience with companies across industries, it offers an off-the-shelf package in which the standard requirements are already covered, then adjusts it to the organisation.

Where it is used

The site positions the platform for regulated industries, and says the ability to keep processes aligned across many locations is its main purpose. In practice that means the same document control, audit, risk and corrective action routines can be used in every country where a company operates, which reduces the effort of reconciling separate local systems and helps show regulators a consistent record.
