API Q1 Software for Oilfield Manufacturers

QMS2GO is audit-ready software for API Spec Q1 9th Edition and ISO 9001:2015 — built specifically for oilfield equipment manufacturers, downhole tool shops, wellhead and valve manufacturers, and their supply chains. Design control, risk management, contingency planning, MTR traceability, and supplier controls all live in one platform, mapped to the API Q1 clause structure.

API Q1 9th Edition coverage

• §4 Quality management system — documented information, process interactions, and QMS scope tied to product realization.
• §5 Management responsibility — leadership, quality policy, objectives, and management review with meeting lifecycle tracking.
• §6 Resource management — competence matrix, training records, and infrastructure controls including calibration.
• §7 Product realization — contract review, design and development controls, purchasing, production and service provision, control of monitoring and measuring equipment.
• §8 Monitoring, measurement, analysis & improvement — internal audit programs, nonconformance, corrective action, and management of change.

What makes API Q1 different from ISO 9001

API Q1 layers oilfield-specific requirements on top of the ISO 9001 framework: mandatory design control even for made-to-print shops, risk assessment tied to specific product realization activities, formal management of change, and contingency planning for supply disruption. QMS2GO ships with these controls pre-configured so you're not retrofitting a generic QMS into an oilfield audit.

MTR and traceability

Material Test Reports, heat-lot traceability, and raw-material certifications are enforced at receiving, tied to work orders, and surfaced on final inspection records. When your customer's auditor asks for the MTR on a specific serialized part, you have it in one click — not a folder search.
