Non-compliance can land you in hot water with the authorities.
For example, since January 2024, OSHA requires US companies in high-hazard industries, including many manufacturers, to submit all incident logs to a searchable digital database.
Other EHS rules include chemical exposure limits, emergency response requirements, worker training and education, and equipment and machinery safety standards.
Managing EHS also means taking action when issues are raised. This means you should have well-designed EHS processes and workflows in place.
This is good news as it improves transparency and makes the workplace safer.
But it’s a significant shift. It’s no longer good enough just to keep:
- old pen-and-paper methods
- basic digital records that aren’t designed for external scrutiny.
Now, you have to ensure that all your safety records are digital and formatted for easy analysis by external parties, ready for any inspections or audits that might come your way.
This makes EHS management and compliance a complex task, unless you have the right tools for the job.
AlisQI fits the bill, offering all the features you need to manage EHS and stay compliant. Let’s look at the top six features of AlisQI’s EHS management system software.
1. Workflow Automation and Customization
AlisQI makes it easy to set up EHS management workflows. You can customize all the forms to fit exactly what your team needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. You decide the workflow steps and define what triggers an action, depending on how your plant works.
All your EHS data is automatically processed and stored in one central place. This cuts down (or eliminates) physical paperwork, as well as making it much easier to retrieve and analyze data.
In other words, AlisQI’s EHS incident management software makes it less of a chore and integrates well into a continuous improvement culture that prioritizes safety and quality.
2. Incident Reporting and CAPA Management
Every time there’s an incident, no matter how big or small, it automatically gets logged. With all the data at your fingertips, you can find patterns that you might miss otherwise, such as more accidents occurring at the end of the month or in a particular part of the process. You can then deal with these incidents proactively, not reactively.
AlisQI EHS compliance management software also helps with CAPA management. You can track all the follow-up actions, such as additional staff training or safety protocol updates. It’s all tracked in real-time, showing which completed actions and those still pending. This makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
3. Customizable Dashboards and Alerts
You can control what you see when you log into AlisQI’s EHS software. Set up dashboards to show the metrics and areas that concern you the most.
You can prioritize safety in one area of the plant by personalizing the dashboard. This will always display information from that specific location. Similarly, you can customize your dashboard to prioritize specific compliance metrics, ensuring they are prominently displayed for easy monitoring.
AlisQI has the capability to alert you when an incident occurs. This means you can nip issues in the bud, as you’ll know right away with an alert sent to your mobile device.
4. Data Management
Good EHS management software gathers important data. It stores this data in one place. This makes it easy to access and retrieve when needed. AlisQI checks all these boxes. You can quickly access any info you need straight from the cloud on any device – desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone.
AlisQI EHS management software includes a powerful analytics suite, which means you can learn from your data. With just a couple of clicks, you can create charts, reports, and dashboards. Easily generate reports for internal use, customers, and suppliers.
5. Audit Readiness and Compliance
Government bodies such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the USA or the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK carry out frequent EHS audits. The way AlisQI organizes all the EHS data is a big plus during audits. Everything is laid out clearly and is easy to navigate. This transparency simplifies the process and builds trust with the auditors.
Some manufacturers hire external auditors to conduct independent reviews of their EHS practices for certifications like ISO 14001 or ISO 45001. AlisQI’s analysis and reporting features help with this too.
6. System Integration
AlisQI is designed to integrate with major enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems like SAP, Oracle, AX/NAV, and Exact. This means it can pull or push data between these systems, ensuring your EHS management is fully aligned with other business operations.
AlisQI provides APIs for master data and measurements, which automates data exchanges with other systems. The API uses JSON over HTTPS, ensuring that data transfer is both flexible and secure.
Additionally, we offer single sign-on (SSO) which means you can use the same credentials across multiple software systems.

Lamers High Tech Systems
Lamers High Tech Systems is a high-tech manufacturer with complex processes and high-end customers like ASML. They struggled to meet the stringent EHS and quality reporting demands set by clients.
AlisQI serves as the primary QMS, enabling the gathering of essential data for Quality, Environment, Safety, and Health (QESH) on a single platform. Automated data flows and reporting helped streamline their operations.
For instance, Lamers carry out monthly inspections related to safety, cleanliness, and orderliness. Instead of manually collecting the inspection data, they set up checklists in AlisQI for methodical and timely reporting.
QHSE manager at Lamers, Geert Segers, said, “Reports used to be based on templates that had to be entered manually into our system by our department. Now we get the product owners to report directly in AlisQI, so it’s registered immediately.”
Delamine
Delamine, a premier chemical manufacturer in the Netherlands, was faced with the complex needs of customers like Akzo Nobel.
AlisQI was implemented as the central QMS, seamlessly integrating with existing systems, automating data flows, and improving report efficiency.
Delamine's safety officers conduct routine inspections to ensure cleanliness and safety throughout their facilities. AlisQI allowed them to set up detailed checklists and input inspection results into the system.
Susanne Haaijer, the Quality Assurance Manager at Delamine, noted the transformative impact of AlisQI, “We have regular audits and inspections. Recently, emergency situations and incidents were on the agenda during an audit. In AlisQI, we have prepared a form for unusual incidents, which we used to do in Excel. All actions that are a result of unusual events are now linked to AlisQI, and included in the central action list. So you have traceability immediately.”
Regarding inspection, Haajer continued, “Inspectors can now see: something happened, you can immediately see that three actions have been started, two of which have been completed and one is still running. And if they come back next year, and they ask: ‘What’s the current situation?’ You can click on that particular incident and you’ll see those three actions immediately. Our auditors were very satisfied with this, they called this ‘Best Practice and an example to the industry’.”
