Quality Control That Fits Chemical Shop Floors
Run consistent inspections on every batch. Ship audit-ready records to GPCB in minutes. Answer customer complaints from the same tablet the tech used to log the result.
Faktry's QC module replaces paper quality registers with structured, template-driven inspections for chemical batch units. Define acceptance criteria per product once — shade, strength, fastness, particle size, pH — and every batch inherits the right inspection. Pass/fail/hold decisions, photos, and full history attach to the batch, making GPCB audits and customer complaints answerable in minutes instead of days. Available as a paid add-on on the ₹8,999/month base plan.
People also ask
- How is this better than our paper QC register?
- Paper depends on one technician's diligence that day. Templates enforce structure — every required check has to be captured before an inspection can close. Handwriting issues disappear, lost pages disappear, and pulling a historical record is a search instead of an archaeology project.
- Can QC results be pulled up when a customer complains?
- Yes. Search by batch, order, or date. You see the exact values, reference photos, the technician, and the decision chain — on the same call, not three weeks later after digging through registers.
- How does re-inspection work?
- If a batch fails or needs rework, a fresh inspection is logged separately and linked to the original. Audit history shows every attempt in order. Nothing is deleted or overwritten.
How it works
- 1
Define what 'good' looks like for each product
Capture the quality parameters that matter for each product once — strength bands, shade references, fastness checks, pH ranges, particle size, whatever your chemistry demands. No more rewriting acceptance criteria on every register page.
- 2
Inspections show up where and when the technician needs them
When a batch is ready for QC, the inspection is waiting on the tech's mobile or tablet. No hunting for the right register page, no guessing which parameters apply to this product.
- 3
Capture values, photos, and decisions in one place
Technician enters readings and snaps reference photos. Pass, fail, or hold is a clear decision, not a scribble. Every result is linked to the batch, the operator, and the timestamp.
- 4
Rework? Re-inspect with full history
When a batch goes back for rework, the follow-up inspection stands alongside the first. Nothing is lost; nothing is rewritten. The full story of the batch is one click away.
Quality control that works for shop-floor reality
Most chemical MSMEs run QC on paper. A register sits next to the sampling station, the technician writes strength, shade, pH, remarks, and signs. The register gets filed. When a customer complaint lands three weeks later, finding that page is a gamble — and half the time the writing is unreadable.
Faktry’s QC module replaces the register with a structured inspection that operators complete on mobile in under two minutes per batch.
What changes on the floor
- Inspections are waiting for the tech at the right moment — no hunting, no guessing which parameters apply.
- Results are entered in a structured form, not as free-form scribbles, so the same data shape is captured for every batch.
- Photos of the sample sit alongside the numeric readings. A complaint three months later has reference evidence, not memory.
- Pass, fail, or hold is an unambiguous decision. Release, rework, and hold flows are clear — for the technician and for anyone reviewing later.
Why this changes shop-floor discipline
On paper, QC discipline depends on the technician’s diligence that day. Some days the register gets meticulous entries; some days it’s a scribble. With Faktry, the template enforces structure — every required parameter must be captured before an inspection can close. Nothing gets skipped because structure is the default, not the optional.
Three second-order effects we’ve seen:
- Complaint investigation goes from hours to minutes. Customer calls about a batch from two months ago? Pull the QC record, see the exact values, reference photos, technician, timestamp. Answer within the same call.
- Process drift becomes visible. Twenty batches of the same product — strength trending down toward the lower limit? That’s now a chart, not a hunch buried in a register.
- Audit prep collapses. GPCB wants months of QC records? One export. Before Faktry, that was days of register photocopying.
How Faktry QC fits dye, pigment, and specialty chemical manufacturers
For dye manufacturers
QC templates for strength, fastness, pH, and shade matching — with customer-specific reference cards from textile mills like Arvind, Welspun, and Raymond attached to the product. Reactive, acid, direct, and disperse chemistries all run the same template structure with chemistry-specific acceptance ranges.
For pigment manufacturers
Particle size (D50, D90), tinctorial strength against reference, dispersion / grind gauge, oil / DOP absorption, heat stability — all captured as structured numeric parameters with acceptance ranges. Paint and masterbatch buyer COAs auto-generate from the captured data.
For specialty chemical manufacturers
Assay / purity, impurity profile, water content (KF), pH, residual solvent, appearance — all supported as first-class QC parameters. Custom-synthesis buyers (pharma CDMOs, agrochem) get tamper-evident records and lot-traceable COAs as the standard output, not as a special request.
Pricing
QC is an add-on module priced on top of the base plan — included in the 30-day free pilot. Most dye, pigment, and specialty chemical units add it in the first week. Book a demo and we’ll quote your stack in 30 minutes.
