Written totally in MS Access an intricate part of the MS Office suite, DR DATA has no dead ends.  Add a menu, new routines, and Policy revisions never skipping a beat. DR DATA 's sterling performance in manufacturing beats all expectations. Easy to use, easy to apply and huge timesaving, plus instant retrieval of the data you want. Get a handle on your non-conformance suppliers. DR DATA has been developed for over three years, beta-tested and in full operation in several companies for two years

    DR Data is the most complete and simple quality management tool. We cut out the waste; every bit of entry information is useful. The database is written in Microsoft Access so the purchaser can change and add forms and macros easily to suit their specific operation.

  Our main focus when creating DR DATA was the generation and tracking of supplier corrective actions. Employees claim DR DATA cuts four hours from the daily workload. People have a great view of useful information, employees can access and input information in a more user-friendly system with the aid of reports with pie graphs, bar forms and tables.

   DR DATA is intended to give the end user more options than our competition. Our compatibility and upgrade ability is unbeatable. Hence based entirely through MS Access with OfficeLinks^TM. We sell a completely functioning proven product in itself but give the end user the choice to fit DRD exactly to their current quality processes instead of forcing change to proven processes. The software can success here at QAS, therefore no risk for you. We find that it is too limiting for fully established quality departments to purchase compiled or un-programmable software, and frankly, very malicious in its intent. There are too many unique aspects of a business to preconceive. Inflexibility is not an option for the software manufacturer. We have found our users easily manipulate DRD to mesh right in to their current systems.
