qmBase Risk Management

Do more than assess risks - make them controllable

qmBase connects risks and opportunities with actions, responsibilities and the context of your management system. Risk management becomes operational control instead of just audit evidence.

Daily challenge

Risks only help when they remain controllable in daily work

Risk management rarely fails because of missing spreadsheets. It fails when risks are not connected with actions, responsibilities and decisions.

Main problem

Risks live in Excel, but not in daily work

Many risk lists are maintained for audits, but not used when decisions are made, actions are planned or processes are improved.

Assessments are hard to compare

Different scales, inconsistent categories and manual calculations make priorities unclear.

Actions remain disconnected from the risk

When responsibilities, tasks and effectiveness checks are not visible directly on the risk, control gaps appear.

How the app works

One interface for controlling risks and opportunities

The app makes visible which risks are critical, who is responsible and which actions result from them.

No risk without context

Risks are part of the management system

In qmBase, a risk is not alone in a list. It is connected with actions, audits, processes, products and objectives.

Context instead of an isolated risk list

Context is what makes risks truly traceable for employees and auditors.

Assessment turns into control

Responsibilities, assessments and actions work directly together.

qmBase Story 04

Saturday evening

"One more beer?"

"Gladly."

"And what about the audit on Monday?"

"Everything has been ready for ages."

Less audit stress. More weekend.

Numbers become actions

Assess and prioritize risks

qmBase maps risk assessments through thresholds, development over time, actions and reassessment. This creates operational control instead of an isolated matrix.

Thresholds make required action visible

qmBase shows when an assessment exceeds a defined threshold and operational actions become necessary.

Assessments remain traceable

The development of a risk assessment stays visible over time, including threshold and next review.

Thresholds make assessments clear

Thresholds create a clear basis for traceable and consistent decisions.

Deep dive: actions

Risks become concrete actions

Risks do not remain theoretical. qmBase guides you from assessment to a connected task, CAPA or improvement action.

Responsibility stays visible

Every risk has clear owners, due dates and a status.

Actions stay with the risk

Tasks, CAPA or projects are not loose items next to the risk. They are directly connected with it.

Risks in company context

Organize risks by context, responsibility and assessment

Risks and opportunities are not managed in isolation, but structured by context, responsibility and assessment.

Classify risks by professional context

Tags show whether a risk comes from production, purchasing, ISO clauses, HR or an environmental context.

Keep risks actively in view

Review dates and responsibilities prevent risks from being forgotten.

More control in the management system

“The different modules cover all ISO 9001 requirements. The software is clearly structured, easy for everyone to understand and can therefore be used well across the entire company.”
