Audit-ready ISO 9001:2026 in 14 days.

No. QMSReady is software. We don't certify anyone, and no legitimate company can sell you a certificate without an audit.

Here's how certification actually works: an accredited certification body (a “registrar”, accredited by a body such as ANAB in the US or UKAS in the UK) audits you in two stages. Stage 1 reviews your documentation and readiness. Stage 2 checks on site that your system is implemented and working. If you pass, the registrar issues the certificate and returns for surveillance audits every year.

We give you the system and the preparation. You implement it. The registrar audits and decides. Typical registrar fees for a small company are $2.5–8k for Stage 1 + Stage 2, plus an annual surveillance audit.

Budget roughly $2.5–8k for the initial Stage 1 + Stage 2 audit, depending on headcount, number of sites and scope, plus a smaller surveillance audit each year and recertification every three years. Registrar fees are paid directly to the registrar and are not included in our price. The registrar picker includes an RFQ template so you can compare like-for-like quotes from accredited bodies. You can check any registrar's accreditation with the national accreditation body (ANAB in the US) or Global ACI.

Your full draft QMS is generated within 48 hours of finishing the questionnaire. Most companies review and approve it within a week. The internal audit and management review pack is ready by day 14.

Registrars want evidence the system is running, so plan on roughly 3–4 months from purchase to Stage 2 for a small company. The 90-day implementation kit is built around that, and registrar availability is often the real bottleneck — book early.

Yes. The software generates the documents, plans and audit tools; your team runs the processes, keeps the records and trains staff. Auditors interview your people and look at real records, so nothing replaces that. The 90-day kit breaks implementation into weekly tasks, and the AI QMS assistant answers questions as you go. Expect the person who owns quality to spend a few hours a week on it.

No. Upload your existing SOPs, work instructions, forms and org chart. The software uses them as inputs, keeps what already reflects how you work, maps it to the 2026 clauses and generates only what's missing.

Auditors don't care who typed a document. They care whether it describes what your company actually does, and whether your people follow it. Generic boilerplate is what gets flagged, so the software is built to prevent it:

• We force company specifics. The questionnaire captures your real products, machines, customers, roles and numbers, and documents must use them.
• Validators reject generic text. Documents that don't reference your specifics, miss a required item or break a cross-reference are regenerated before you see them.
• Every document is reviewed and approved by you. Nothing becomes part of your QMS until your named approver signs it off in your account.

And if your registrar raises a documentation nonconformity against anything the software generated, the guarantee applies.

2026. ISO 9001:2026 was published on 16 September 2026. From 31 March 2028, new certifications are issued to ISO 9001:2026 only, and the 3-year transition ends 30 September 2029. Building on 2026 now means no second transition before 2029.

ISO describes 2026 as an update, not a rewrite: the clause 4–10 structure is unchanged and most requirements are clarified rather than new. Your generated system covers the 2026 additions: quality culture and ethical behaviour (5.1.1, 7.3), risks and opportunities planned separately (6.1.1–6.1.3), stronger change management (6.3), the climate-change decision in context (4.1/4.2), customer contingency communication (8.2.1), objectives for each internal audit (9.2.2) and the new management-review input on interested-party changes (9.3.2).

No. ISO 9001:2026 asks you to consider whether climate change is relevant to your quality management system and to record your decision and the reasoning. It doesn't require an environmental programme. The software prompts for the factors that matter to a shop (storm outages, shop temperature and tolerances, customer questionnaires) and writes the decision into your context register. See the sample.

Full refund within 14 days if you haven't generated any documents yet. After that, the documentation guarantee applies: we fix any registrar documentation nonconformity against our generated documents within 5 business days, free, and refund you in full if you fail Stage 2 because of our documentation. Conditions are in the refund policy.

Your questionnaire answers and uploads are used only to generate and support your QMS. They're stored with our hosting provider and processed by our AI provider under commercial terms that don't allow your data to be used to train their models. We never sell your data, and we delete it on request. Details and the full list of processors are in the privacy policy.

There are no sales calls — it's self-serve so we can keep the price fixed. Email support@qmsready.com with any question and you'll get a written answer, usually within one business day. Or take the free gap score first.
