For QA Managers & Quality Directors

Quality Control Software that generates a CoA in one click - not two hours.

BatchMaster’s quality inspection software is embedded directly into your batch record – not bolted on as an afterthought. The Quality Control ERP module is purpose-built for UK process manufacturers running food, pharma, chemical and beverage production.

The night shift finished at 6 AM. The batch record is on the supervisor's desk. It will be transcribed by someone who wasn't there.

Customer on line one. They need a Certificate of Analysis for Lot 8821-B, despatched six weeks ago. Regulatory submission due at noon.

The QA manager opens the shared drive. The CoA template is there – somewhere. The test results are in a printed lab notebook on the shelf. The certificate was emailed as a PDF and might be in Outlook. The approver who signed off that lot left the business in March.

Two hours later – after finding the notebook, transcribing results into the template, and getting a substitute approver to sign off – a CoA finally goes out. The customer missed their noon deadline. They are evaluating alternative suppliers.

Meanwhile, two more CoA requests arrived whilst the QA manager was working on the first one. They’ll get done tomorrow. Maybe.

01

CoA generation is a manual scavenger hunt

Test results in one system. CoA template in another. Approval via email. Without quality control software, every CoA is a 30–90 minute exercise — identical every time.

02

Quality inspection happens after the batch — not during

Without inline quality inspection software, tests are carried out retrospectively. Out-of-specification results come back after the batch is in the tank — too late to correct the process.

03

Specifications drift from formulas

When quality control sits outside your manufacturing ERP software, QC specs in one system drift from formulas in another. Discrepancies surface during audits — or worse, during a customer complaint.

The Quality Control ERP Module that makes quality part of every batch — not an afterthought.

Outcome: CoA in one click, not two hours

Automatic Certificate of Analysis generation from batch test results

When the batch passes its final QC review, BatchMaster's quality control software assembles the CoA directly from actual test results — automatically. Values come from quality inspection tests performed during the batch, not from a lab notebook. The CoA is ready the moment the batch passes. One click. Formatted. Accurate. Signed.

Outcome: Out-of-spec caught whilst there is still time to correct

Quality inspection plans embedded in the batch record at every step

BatchMaster's quality inspection software triggers tests at the batch step where they belong — inline, on a tablet, with tolerance limits pulled from the formula specification. Inline viscosity check at step 3? It appears on the operator's screen at step 3. Fails the tolerance? The batch cannot proceed until QA reviews the deviation. You catch it at 10:00 AM, not when the batch finishes at 4:00 PM.

Outcome: Specifications always in sync with the active formula

QC specifications linked directly to the formula version

Unlike standalone quality control software, BatchMaster holds QC specs as part of the formula record inside your manufacturing ERP software. When the formula is updated, specifications update too — automatically, with no manual sync required and no risk of version drift.

Outcome: Formal non-conformance, not a sticky note

Non-conformance and CAPA workflow with formal closure

A failing quality inspection doesn't simply get noted — it triggers a formal NCR with a unique ID, an investigation assignment, a root cause field, and a CAPA workflow tracked from open to closure. Your QA team has full visibility of every open non-conformance across all batches — and regulators see a closed-loop quality system.

Every quality management capability your manufacturing ERP software should include - and usually doesn't.

What standard ERP software misses in quality control - and what BatchMaster includes

Standard ERP software

  • Quality control is a separate module or third-party system - never truly integrated with the batch

  • CoAs generated by manually exporting data and filling in a template

  • Deviations tracked as free-text notes - no formal NCR or CAPA workflow

  • QC specs maintained separately from formulas - drift is inevitable

BatchMaster Quality Control ERP Module

  • Quality inspection software is native to the batch record - triggered at the right step, blocking progression if tests fail

  • CoAs auto-generated from batch test results - one click, current data, electronic signature ready

  • Formal non-conformance → CAPA → closure workflow with unique IDs and a full audit trail

  • QC specs linked to the active formula version - formula changes propagate to quality inspection tests automatically

Common Questions Manufacturers Ask

Quality control software helps manufacturers test, inspect and verify the quality of raw materials, in-process batches and finished goods against predefined specifications before products are released for production or despatch. In process manufacturing specifically, quality control software embeds inspection plans directly into batch records — so tests are triggered inline at the correct production step, not carried out retrospectively — and every result is fully traceable and audit-ready.

BatchMaster quality inspection software is embedded directly inside the batch record — not attached as a separate system or third-party module. When a batch reaches a step that requires a quality check, the inspection plan appears automatically on the operator’s screen with the correct tolerance limits drawn from the active formula specification. If a test fails its tolerance, the batch cannot progress until QA reviews and resolves the deviation. This makes quality inspection a live, inline activity — not a retrospective paper exercise.

The BatchMaster Quality Control ERP Module enables manufacturers to establish testing protocols, manage QC specifications, record test results, enforce QC holds and ensure only approved materials and products move through the supply chain. It includes automatic Certificate of Analysis generation, formal non-conformance records with CAPA workflows, supplier QC tracking, mobile inspection capture, and historical QC trend analysis — all native to the batch record, with no third-party quality control software required.

Yes. BatchMaster manufacturing ERP software automatically generates Certificates of Analysis based on approved quality test results recorded during the batch. CoAs are assembled directly from the quality inspection data in the batch record — not from a separate spreadsheet or template — which means they are always accurate, always current, and ready in one click the moment the batch passes final review. This helps UK manufacturers meet customer CoA requirements and regulatory documentation obligations without manual data entry.

Yes. BatchMaster is ERP software designed with UK process manufacturers in mind, including those subject to MHRA oversight, BRC Global Standard audits, EU GMP requirements, and FSA regulations. Electronic batch records, complete quality inspection audit trails, formal NCR and CAPA workflows with unique IDs, and auto-assembled documentation packs are all standard features — not premium add-ons. UK manufacturers in pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals and nutraceuticals use BatchMaster’s quality control ERP module to prepare for and pass regulatory inspections with confidence.
