We’re regulated-industry engineers who got tired of paying tens of thousands a year for QMS software that took six months to deploy and still felt built for 2005.
We’ve been through FDA inspections. We’ve implemented ISO 13485 from scratch. We’ve managed supplier qualifications, CAPA systems, and document control programs across multiple product lines — in regulated industries that ranged from medical devices to dental labs to food production.
Every time, the QMS tooling was the worst part of the job. Enterprise platforms commonly reported in the $30,000–$200,000-per-year range, with six- to nine-month implementations and consultants invoicing $200 an hour to configure fields we could have set up ourselves. Clunky interfaces from another era. A procurement gate before you could even see pricing.
The mid-market wasn’t much better — widely reported around $15,000–$50,000 a year for a slightly less ancient version of the same thing.
So most small and mid-size teams ended up where they started: a SharePoint folder with 47 versions of the same SOP and a spreadsheet their auditor couldn’t read.
ArvoDocs is modern, fast, self-serve. Six auditor-grade compliance packs (ISO 13485, ISO 9001, Dental, Food Safety / HACCP, SaMD, Validation). Document control with multi-stage review and approval. Quality events with 21 CFR Part 11 e-signatures on every stage decision. Supplier management. Training records. An immutable audit trail tied to every record change.
Same controls regulators look for. Same depth a quality manager needs. Without the procurement cycle, without the implementation consultants, and at a fraction of the price.
$0 to $4,788 a year for the full toolkit, billed monthly. Deploy this afternoon, ship your first controlled document before dinner.
Make real quality management accessible to every regulated team — regardless of size or budget. Patient safety, product safety, and audit readiness shouldn’t depend on a procurement budget.
We believe the best QMS tools will be shaped by the people who use them. That's why we're building in the open, with a community of quality and regulatory professionals who share knowledge, templates, and best practices.
No gated "premium support." No ticket queues. Just real people helping each other build better quality systems.
