01 / ISOLATE

Software for manufacturers who have to adhere to the strictest standards.

Business success relies on repeatable process. That’s precisely what we exist to build.

ReadyState Isolate replaces the spreadsheets, paper forms and email your quality system runs on today. Every record it keeps is stamped with who did it and when, signed where it needs to be, and ready for an auditor on the day they ask.

HOW IT WORKS
02 / THE PROBLEM

Getting compliance wrong costs time, manpower, money, and in the worst cases, freedom.

Most quality systems in manufacturing run on spreadsheets, paper forms and email. The records exist, but proving anything takes days, and the gaps only show when an auditor or a customer asks.

THE PROBLEM TODAYWHAT IT COSTS
Records spread across spreadsheets, forms, paper and inboxesHours finding one job’s history. Monthly reports compiled by hand and out of date when presented.
No proof of who did what, and whenRecords edited after the fact, disputes nobody can settle, certification at risk.
Inspection plans kept in Word, in several versionsWork checked against the wrong revision.
Hold points and customer witness points missedWork moves on before it is signed off, and the customer rejects it at test.
Non-conformances raised and then forgottenThe same fault returns, and findings follow at the next audit.
Instruments used after their calibration dateEvery reading taken with them is in question.
03 / HOW IT WORKS

One job, from plan to handover pack.

A passing check moves the job on towards its handover pack. A failing one opens an NCR that closes only once a second person has verified the fix.

01
The plan

The quality control plan is built as stages and lines: what is checked, the acceptance criteria, the method, how often and by whom. It is approved under signature, and the floor only ever gets the active revision.

02
The checklist

Pick the job and the stage. The checklist is generated from the active plan revision and worked on a tablet, with photos from the device camera.

03
A failed check

A reading outside its tolerance band is flagged out of specification as it is entered, and the instrument that took it is recorded with the reading.

04
The non-conformance

The failed line offers an NCR already filled in and linked to the job and the inspection. Defect type, root cause, containment, and the scrap and rework cost in rand.

05
The verified fix

Actions are assigned with due dates, completed with evidence, and verified by someone other than the person who did the work before the NCR can close under signature.

06
The handover pack

Every inspection, photo and signature for the job, in one PDF for the customer.

04 / WHAT IT DOES

Isolate holds the chain, not just the files.

Isolate is built around the job and its plan, so one record runs from the plan to the customer’s handover pack. A spreadsheet or a generic document store holds files. Isolate holds the chain between them.

PLAN THE WORK
  • Build the quality control plan for a product or job as stages and lines, with tolerance bands and the instrument type each measurement needs.
  • Revision control on every plan: draft, review, signed approval, then active. The previous revision is superseded and kept.
  • Mark the lines where work must stop for a sign-off, or where the customer or a third party must witness.
INSPECT ON THE FLOOR
  • Checklists generated from the active plan revision, made for tablets, with photos from the device camera.
  • Measurements judged on entry. A reading outside its band is flagged out of specification at once.
  • Completing an inspection signs it, and a signed record cannot be changed.
WHAT GOES WRONG
  • One findings register for every problem, whatever raised it: an inspection, an audit, a safety observation or a report from the floor.
  • NCRs pre-filled from the failed check and linked to the job, with root cause, containment and cost in rand.
  • Corrective and preventive actions, completed with evidence and verified by a second person before the NCR can close.
INSTRUMENTS AND PEOPLE
  • An instrument register with calibration certificates and due dates. Status moves from calibrated to due to overdue on its own.
  • Daily pre-use checks per instrument type. A failed check takes the instrument out of use.
  • A competence matrix per role and department, with certificates and a warning before anything lapses.
AUDITS AND SUPPLIERS
  • Internal audits on your own checklists, written against the clauses you are audited on, answered on a tablet with the evidence beside each answer.
  • Signing off an audit raises a finding for every non-conformity, onto the same register as everything else.
  • Supplier approval status and a computed score, with the deductions that produced it shown.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
  • A task index and procedures for the work people do.
  • Pre-task risk assessments, signed before work starts.
  • Planned task observations on a schedule. An unsafe act raises a safety finding, and people without a login sign with a PIN.
CUSTOMERS
  • Complaints with response and resolution clocks, linked to the NCR they lead to.
  • Feedback forms and surveys you design, with satisfaction scores.
  • The handover pack: every inspection, photo and signature for a job in one PDF.
SEE AND REPORT IT
  • A live dashboard: open NCRs, pass rate, first pass yield, cost of poor quality, overdue actions, calibration and training compliance.
  • A task manager carrying everything assigned to a person, from any part of the system, until it is done.
  • Reports on your letterhead as PDF, and registers to Excel. Monthly quality, NCR register, cost of quality, management review and more.
CONTROL AND TRUST
  • Eight roles plus named privileges per person. Management sees everything and can change nothing.
  • Electronic signatures on approvals, releases and closures, recorded with a fingerprint of the record so later tampering shows.
  • A complete audit trail: every change, by whom, when, and what it was before, in plain language on each record.

EVERY FEATURE ABOVE IS BUILT AND RUNNING TODAY.

05 / PROOF

Every claim here is true of the product today and can be shown in a demonstration.

Built with a manufacturer

Specified with a medium-voltage switchgear maker and built around their inspection plans, test procedures and handover packs.

Nothing is taken on trust

The server stamps every action with the person and the time. Nobody types a date or a name in, and the history of a record cannot be edited, by an administrator or anyone else.

A second pair of eyes where it counts

A plan is approved, a hold point released and a corrective action verified by someone other than the person who did the work. In a one-person quality team, that authority is granted to a named person and recorded on their account.

Documents that stand up

Every PDF carries the company’s letterhead, a reference number, who produced it and when, page numbers, and the signatures that apply.

Figures nobody compiles

Dashboards and reports are worked out from the live records each time they are opened.

Made for South African operations

Costs in rand, times in SAST, and a financial year from April to March unless a company sets its own.

Ready for more than one company

Each company has its own address and its own data, with only the modules it uses switched on.

06 / WHO IT IS FOR

The fit is strongest where three things are true.

Isolate holds and organises the evidence. Certification remains between the company and its certifier.

01

Work is done to an inspection plan per job.

02

Customers witness tests, or sign off a quality pack at handover.

03

The business holds ISO 9001, or is working towards it.

WHO USES IT
Quality manager or QA engineerCHAMPION AND MAIN USERPassing the next audit, closing NCRs, one place for every record.
Owner or managing directorSIGNS OFF THE SPENDCost of poor quality, keeping certification, winning contract work.
Operations or production managerMUST NOT BE SLOWED DOWNHold points that do not stall the floor, and clear sign-offs.
