What winning looks like in automotive.
Own your supplier scorecard
Launch without the ramp-up defects
Stay audit-ready for Ford, GM, Stellantis, and beyond
Build a zero-defect quality operation from the plant floor up.
Quit paper for good
CQI-8 Layered Process Audit requirements demand a consistency and frequency that paper systems can't sustain. Automate audit scheduling, reminders, and reporting to achieve best-practice audit completion rates and cut admin time by up to 85%.
Show, don’t tell
Your control plan only works if auditors and operators know what “correct” looks like. Make videos, reference images, and visual standards part of audit checklists and on-the-job training content to eliminate guesswork on the line.
Prevent defects before bad parts ship
Track audit findings in real time by process, shift, line, or plant to correct non-conformances before they become OEM complaints and containment actions. Use targeted, just-in-time training to fill knowledge gaps and create a closed-loop system that prevents recurring problems.
Drive participation at every layer
Access checklists and training content anywhere in the plant from your mobile device, no WiFi required. Support quality culture by making plant floor checks a seamless experience that’s easy for everyone, from the top floor to the shop floor.
Turn audit and training data into your competitive edge
Track leading indicators like on-time audit completion, corrective action closure, and on-the-job training completion to prevent quality escapes while improving OEE and yield.
Manage all your audits in one place
Run every audit type across every site from a single platform. Get the multi-site consistency OEMs expect with the visibility your quality and operations teams need to take action.
One platform. Every audit.
Safety & Quality Management
Layered Process Audits
Preventive Maintenance Audits
Quality and safety compliance without tradeoffs.
Meet complex, overlapping automotive compliance requirements with EASE.
- Satisfy Ford, GM, and Stellantis customer-specific requirements for layered process audits.
- Apply built-in AIAG CQI-8 Layered Process Audit guideline best practices.

EASE is the key contributing factor to reducing internal PPMs in our light vehicle group by 47%.
EASE software helped us concentrate on systematically improving process issues, which before we were not able to focus on.
EASE is definitely a valuable mechanism that has considerable application throughout our Powertrain Division. EASE has increased the value of our global programs.
Common Questions
The platform allows for the manual configuration of hierarchical scheduling for Layer 1 (Daily), Layer 2 (Weekly), and Layer 3 (Monthly) audits. If a scheduled audit is missed, the system triggers an internal notification to the quality lead, ensuring the facility maintains the audit frequency levels mandated by customers like GM, Stellantis, or Ford.
Yes. To ensure audit integrity, it employs mandatory photo evidence for specific pass/fail questions and time-stamped audit logs to flag audits completed too quickly to be legitimate.
The platform utilizes “Master Checklist” templates. Quality professionals can create a standardized set of core audit questions at the corporate or plant level and push them to multiple lines simultaneously. This ensures that a “Safety” or “Standard Work” check is performed identically across the entire facility, eliminating the variance found in manual paper-based systems.
When a failure is recorded, the system automatically creates a “Non-Conformance Report” (NCR) within the platform. This NCR tracks the issue from the initial failure through to verification of closure. This provides a documented trail of containment and resolution that aligns with the expectations of an 8D process during a customer or third-party audit.
If an audit is not completed within its designated timeframe, the system automatically notifies the administrator. This “closed-loop” notification ensures that missed audits are visible to leadership in real-time, rather than being discovered weeks later during a manual tally.
Yes. Beyond standard LPAs, the platform can digitize AIAG Special Process self-assessments. By moving these from spreadsheets to a digital format, the quality team can centralize annual compliance data into a single dashboard, making it easier to retrieve and present during an OEM or IATF audit.
Yes. The system aggregates audit results into high-level reports showing completion rates, failure trends by shift, and non-conformity closure timing. This data provides the objective evidence needed for Management Review meetings to evaluate the effectiveness of the Quality Management System (QMS).
The mobile app features a dedicated offline mode. Auditors can download their assigned checklists while on the network, conduct the full audit in areas with heavy shielding or no WIFI, and record findings. Data is securely cached on the device and will sync with a verified timestamp once the device regains connectivity.
