Finding the right Supply Chain Quality Management System (SCQMS) for your enterprise is not a process that should be taken lightly, nor should your decision be based solely on the system itself. Now, that’s not to say that finding an enterprise quality management solution that optimizes your business isn’t an essential factor in the decision-making process. It absolutely is. But you shouldn’t settle for just that.
Many businesses make this mistake and wind up regretting the decision when they realize that, after the sale is made, the technology can't scale and the vendor is nowhere to be found.

You will also need to consider legal and regulatory issues that can arise when working with different countries.
In order to handle the added complexity of a global supply chain, you need a partner and SCQMS system that is:
Due to the complexities and pressures of managing a supply chain, it’s essential that you work with a Quality Management provider that doesn’t simply operate on a “sale then bail” principle. You need a partner who will come alongside you in the pursuit of Quality and Operational Excellence.
