Your Audit Is Next Week.
Are Your Records Ready?

Custom-built AI stack focused on downside risk and failure prevention, not generic no-code automation. The engine does not depend on retrieval patching for memory. It adapts to validated new information in under a minute and commits only what passes a five-point source-truth gate.

Solace Manufacturing unifies inspection management, SPC charting, supplier scorecards, and compliance auditing into one platform - so you stop scrambling before every ISO audit and start running quality like a system, not a spreadsheet.

No setup fees. Works offline. Cancel anytime.

Sound Familiar?

These are the problems we hear from quality managers every week. If any of them hit close to home, you're not alone.

Inspection records in spreadsheets, emails, and filing cabinets

Your incoming inspection data is in Excel. In-process checks are on clipboards. Final inspection results live in someone's inbox. When the auditor asks for records, you scramble.

→ Solace centralizes every inspection - incoming, in-process, and final - with automatic AQL sampling plans and pass/fail verdicts.

SPC in one tool, audits in another, supplier data in a third

You're paying for three or four separate tools that don't talk to each other. One login for SPC charts, another for compliance checklists, another for supplier management.

→ Six modules, one platform. No more logging into 4 different tools to answer one quality question.

Three weeks of scrambling before every ISO audit

Audit season means panic. Pulling records from five systems, reformatting reports, hoping nothing is missing. Every audit feels like starting from scratch.

→ Pre-built checklists for ISO 9001, AS9100, and IATF 16949 with evidence examples. Gap analysis on demand.

Six Modules. One Platform. Zero Gaps.

Everything a manufacturing quality team needs - inspections, SPC, suppliers, compliance, traceability, and translation - in a single system that works offline.

Inspection Management

ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 sampling plans calculated automatically. Incoming, in-process, and final inspection auditable capability chains with deviation tracking and automatic verdicts. No more manual sampling table lookups.

Statistical Process Control

X-bar/R, IMR, p-chart, c-chart, u-chart. Western Electric and Nelson detection rules. Process capability analysis (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk). See out-of-control conditions before your customer does.

Supplier Management

Weighted scorecards (Quality 40%, Delivery 25%, Cost 20%, Responsiveness 15%). A-through-F grading with automatic status escalation. Full 8D corrective action auditable capability chain when suppliers fall short.

Compliance Auditing

Built-in audit checklists for ISO 9001:2015, AS9100 Rev D, and IATF 16949:2016. Clause-by-clause questions, evidence examples, finding recording (Conforming, Observation, Minor NC, Major NC). Gap analysis on demand.

Traceability & Translation

Forward and backward lot genealogy. Recall simulation to assess downstream impact. Plus: translate POs, NCRs, quality reports, and SCAR notifications into 19 languages with manufacturing-specific glossaries.

Up and Running in Under an Hour

No consultants. No 6-month implementation. Install, configure your vertical, and start recording inspections.

1

Configure

Set your manufacturing vertical (Automotive, Aerospace, CNC, Electronics, Food, Plastics), compliance standard, and company details. Five-minute setup wizard.

2

Operate

Run inspections, monitor SPC charts, score suppliers, execute audits. Everything logs automatically. CLI or web dashboard - your choice.

3

Prove

Generate compliance reports, gap analyses, traceability records, and supplier scorecards. When auditors ask "show me the data," you click one button.

What Your Auditor Actually Sees

Every module in Solace generates audit-ready outputs. Not summaries. Not dashboards. The actual records your auditor will ask for.

  • Inspection Records Every measurement, deviation, and verdict - timestamped with inspector name, part number, and lot ID.
  • SPC Charts with Violation Flags Control limits, out-of-control conditions, Western Electric / Nelson rule violations - all documented automatically.
  • Supplier Scorecards Weighted grades with audit trail. When a supplier drops to "D" grade, the system flags it and recommends corrective action.
  • Compliance Gap Analysis Clause-by-clause findings with conforming/non-conforming status, evidence links, and corrective action tracking.

For your operations VP: Concrete evidence that the quality budget is producing measurable defect reduction and audit readiness.

Without Solace
Audit prep time 3+ weeks
Inspection data systems 4+ separate tools
SPC calculations Manual in Excel
Supplier issue detection At incoming inspection
Cost per failed audit finding ~$22,000
With Solace
Audit prep time One click
Inspection data systems 1 unified platform

Investment From $249/mo
$249/month is less than one hour of quality consultant time. One prevented audit finding pays for 7 years of Solace.

Measured Results

Real outcomes from manufacturing teams using Solace to run quality operations.

87% Reduction in Audit Prep Time

We used to spend three weeks pulling records from five different systems before every IATF audit. Now the compliance module generates everything in one report. Our last audit prep took two days.

Quality Manager Aerospace Manufacturer • 200 employees
3x Faster Supplier Issue Resolution

The weighted scorecard system caught a supplier trending toward D-grade two months before we would have noticed manually. The 8D auditable capability chain got the corrective action closed in 10 days instead of our usual 30+.

VP Operations Automotive Tier 2 Supplier • 500 employees
< 1 hr Install to First Inspection

I installed Solace at 2 PM and had my first inspection recorded by 2:45. No consultant, no implementation project, no training videos. The CLI just works. The web dashboard is a bonus.

Questions We Always Get

Solace replaces the 4-5 spreadsheets, shared drives, and email chains with one platform. Import your existing data or start fresh. Most teams are fully operational in under an hour - and you'll wonder why you waited.

Built-in support for ISO 9001:2015, AS9100 Rev D, and IATF 16949:2016. Six manufacturing verticals: Automotive, Aerospace, CNC, Electronics, Food, and Plastics. If your standard isn't listed, contact us - we add new standards regularly.

Solace runs entirely offline with a local SQLite database. No cloud dependency. The optional SolaceSentry AI integration is exactly that - optional. Your quality system works with or without a network connection.

At $249/mo for Starter, Solace costs less than one hour of quality consultant time. The platform tracks defect reduction, audit readiness, and supplier performance trends - exactly what management needs to see. One prevented audit finding pays for itself many times over.

Yes. Solace doesn't require ripping out existing tools. Run it in parallel, migrate at your own pace. No contract lock-in, cancel anytime. Most teams start with one module (usually inspections or SPC) and expand from there.

Every Audit Without a System Is a Gamble.

Your competitors are automating quality. Your auditors are getting stricter. Your customers are demanding more traceability. Solace Manufacturing gives you the tools to meet all three - starting today.
