Quality Forward

Quality Forward is a cloud-based electronic Quality Management System (eQMS) purpose-built for QA teams in Life Sciences and other highly regulated industries. Founded in 2017, the company was established to help organizations migrate from outdated, on-premise quality systems to a secure, cloud-native eQMS — without disrupting existing workflows or losing historical data. Built on the ServiceNow platform, Quality Forward combines a best-in-class digital experience with AI-driven insights, automated validation, and real-time reporting to simplify compliance, enhance product quality, and drive operational efficiency.

The platform enables quality teams to digitize, integrate, and manage critical quality processes with full traceability. Its no-code architecture delivers out-of-the-box functionality while remaining highly configurable, empowering Quality Assurance professionals to tailor workflows to evolving regulatory expectations without reliance on IT. Quality Forward is designed to scale from single-site biotechs to multi-national manufacturers, supporting operations from lab and manufacturing through to product launch.
