ISO auditor-ready audit trail Pairs with your QMS / ERP
THE PAIN

Manufacturing document control gaps: sound familiar?

"ISO auditor asked for the approval trail. We had email."

Document changes spread across email, chat apps and paper files. No structured approval, no audit trail. ISO 9001 audit prep takes 5 days.

"Export buyer wants quality traceability. We send PDFs."

EU CBAM, US and Japan buyers want structured access to QMS records. You answer with email attachments and lose deals.

"GST audit found gaps in the invoice archive."

The 7-year GST retention requirement met with shared folders and paper. Compliance gaps are findings waiting to happen.

"Vendor onboarding is chaos."

KYC packs, MSAs, framework agreements and NDAs, all scattered across departments. Approvals lost in email chains.

"QC batch records pile up daily."

Daily QC documents from the production line. No structured filing. Pharma, food and auto component makers face buyer audits.

"Decades of old files sit in cupboards."

EPF / ESI / factory licence / MCA filings / BIS certifications plus years of physical records across multiple cabinets. Renewal anxiety is constant.

WHAT ABSCODE DOES

Record-based document management, filed for you

Note: Abscode is a DMS. It complements your QMS / ERP. Abscode extracts, classifies and files each record, runs approval workflows, and keeps the audit trail. Your QMS handles quality processes.

ISO COMPLIANCE

ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 document control

SOPs, work instructions and training records filed automatically as versioned records. An AI-built approval workflow helps ensure approved-only documents reach the floor. Audit-ready approval trail available on demand.

GST + STATUTORY

GST e-invoice archive + statutory filings

7-year GST retention as searchable records, classified on upload. EPF / ESI / factory licence / MCA / BIS documents filed in one place. Every invoice classified and filed to the right record automatically.

VENDOR ONBOARDING

Vendor + supplier onboarding workflow

KYC packs, MSAs, NDAs and framework agreements filed against each vendor record with an approval flow. Procurement → finance → legal → operations, with a full audit trail and access controls.

EXPORT AUDITS

Export buyer + customs audit prep

EU CBAM, US and Japan buyer audit packs assembled in minutes. Customs declarations, COO and quality certificates classified into records. Searchable by record and by document details.

QC RECORDS

QC batch record management

Mobile capture at the production line, filed automatically as batch records. Approval for batch release. Pharma, food and auto components compliance-ready.

BULK DIGITIZATION

Bulk digitization of old physical files

Turn years of cupboards and cabinets into searchable records. Bulk document digitization extracts and classifies scanned documents for you, so each is findable by its record and indexed details.

RECORDS KEPT

Processes and archive types for manufacturing

Alongside the shared use cases below, manufacturing teams keep these industry-specific records in Abscode, each as its own archive group.

ENGINEERING DRAWINGS

Engineering drawings and drawing register

DWG and other CAD files under revision control, indexed by drawing number, part and project. One current approved revision, with old revisions retained but clearly marked superseded.

QUALITY & BATCH

Quality and batch records

QC records, batch manufacturing records and calibration certificates, kept by product and period.

STATUTORY & LICENCE

Statutory and licence archive

Consent to operate, factory and pollution control licences, with renewal dates watched so nothing lapses unnoticed.

EXPORT DOCS

Export documentation

Shipping, customs and compliance documents held by consignment and ready when a buyer or customs asks.

GST & E-INVOICE

GST and e-invoice archive

Tax documents and e-invoices classified on upload and retained for their statutory periods.

Engineering drawings, under revision control

Every drawing sits in a drawing register with one current approved revision, and old revisions are retained but clearly marked superseded. A change moves through an engineering change note, not a quiet overwrite. A lightweight preview loads in the browser so anyone can check the current revision, while the full CAD file downloads on demand only when it is needed in a CAD tool.

Abscode pairs with your QMS / ERP, it doesn't replace them

If you use a QMS for quality processes, keep it. If you run an ERP or accounting system, keep it. Abscode handles the record-based filing, approval and audit-trail side, working alongside your existing ERP/accounting tools.
