Quality, EHS and supplier management platform built natively on Salesforce, shipping purpose-built CQ.AI quality, safety and supplier agents.

ComplianceQuest is an AI-powered Digital Quality platform that unifies Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Quality Management (QMS/EQMS), Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), and Supplier Management on a single cloud system built natively on Salesforce. It targets regulated industries such as life sciences, medtech, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing, replacing fragmented tools with one connected platform and an audit-ready data model.

The platform runs a true closed-loop quality system: complaints flow into nonconformances and CAPAs, actions trigger change control and training, and effectiveness checks confirm the fix, all with e-signatures, audit trails, and traceability for FDA, ISO, and customer audits.

Its AI layer is CQ.AI, including a set of purpose-built CQ.AI Agents powered by Salesforce Agentforce that act as digital co-workers for quality, EHS, and supplier teams. The agents standardize nonconformance reporting, draw risk recommendations from a company's FMEAs and control documents, auto-generate training assessments, guide audit-ready investigations toward likely root causes, and run predictive dashboards that forecast supplier performance and anticipate safety risks. Every recommendation is grounded in the customer's own quality data with citations to source records, and CQ.AI operates within the Salesforce Einstein Trust Layer for data protection and zero retention.

The platform is sold to enterprises on a sales-led basis.

Use cases & customers

In practice

A complaint comes in and your team writes up the nonconformance three different ways. ComplianceQuest's CQ.AI Agents standardize the reporting and guide the investigation toward a likely root cause.

An FDA or ISO audit means proving every fix actually closed the loop. ComplianceQuest runs complaints through nonconformances, CAPAs, and effectiveness checks with e-signatures and traceability built in.

You want AI recommendations you can defend to a regulator. CQ.AI grounds every recommendation in your own quality data with citations to the source records, inside the Salesforce trust layer.
