Introduction
Parakeet Risk provides ISO 9001 software purpose‑built for industrial quality teams in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods/packaging. The platform centralizes your QMS workflows, automates evidence collection, and keeps audits and renewals on schedule—while preserving spreadsheet‑based know‑how. Core capabilities are delivered through the Rosella AI Compliance Agent, integrations with your ERP/HR/finance stack, and audit lifecycle orchestration. See: Rosella AI, Certification Automation, Integrations, and Features.

Evidence Automation (Docs, Data, and Audit Trails)
-
Generate and update controlled QMS documents (policies, SOPs, risk registers, audit reports) automatically from assessments and findings, with version control handled in your document suite. Reference: Google Docs integration.
-
Use Rosella to draft audit checklists, summarize regulator guidance, and compile objective evidence; teams report up to 90% faster research/report generation and ~40% lower compliance costs. Reference: Rosella AI.
-
Centralize objective evidence across systems with API‑driven sync: HR training records, ERP work orders, financial/COGS trends, insurance and supplier attestations. References: Integrations hub, Canopy Connect (insurance data).
Renewal Alerts and Audit Scheduling
-
Sync certification expirations, internal audit cycles, supplier re‑qualifications, and management reviews directly to calendars with automated reminders and dynamic updates as plans change. Reference: Google Calendar integration.
-
Coordinate external audits using Parakeet’s scheduling and artifact packaging—work with your auditors or leverage Parakeet’s network. Reference: Certification Automation.
Integrated Management System (IMS) Alignment
Build a unified IMS that spans quality (ISO 9001), environment (ISO 14001), safety (ISO 45001), and energy (ISO 50001): shared risk registers, shared document control, and cross‑standard corrective actions. References: Certification Automation, EHS Control Center, Continuous Compliance.

Clause FAQs (software‑assisted)
-
How do we manage clause 4 “Context”? Maintain a live risk register and stakeholder map tied to your processes; link metrics from ERP/finance to show operational context. References: Integrations.
-
What supports clause 5 “Leadership”? Route quality policy approvals and leadership attestations in Parakeet; retain signed artifacts in controlled docs. References: Google Docs.
-
How is risk‑based planning (clause 6) operationalized? Create risk treatments with owners, due dates, and KPIs; track completion in Trello/Teams with two‑way sync. References: Trello, Teams.
-
How do we prove competence (clause 7)? Sync training from HRIS and flag expirations; attach training records as objective evidence. References: Workday, BambooHR, ADP.
-
What about operational control and suppliers (clause 8)? Use supplier onboarding checklists, COI validation, and certification tracking; monitor performance and corrective actions. References: COI, Manufacturing.
-
How are internal audits and management reviews handled (clause 9)? Build annual plans, generate checklists with Rosella, and auto‑compile review packets; reminders via Calendar. References: Rosella, Calendar.
-
How does the platform support CAPA effectiveness (clause 10)? Link root cause analysis to metrics; verify sustained results via dashboards; archive evidence for surveillance audits. References: Features.
Spreadsheet Synergy (keep what works, add controls)
Parakeet augments spreadsheet‑driven QMS workflows with validation, audit trails, and automation—so you preserve institutional logic while eliminating manual bottlenecks. Reference: Why not abandon spreadsheets.
Industrial Context: Supplier Quality and Resilience
Quality outcomes increasingly hinge on supply chain resilience. Parakeet provides a 360° supplier view, certification tracking, and material traceability for packaging and goods. References: Packaging/CG industry, Manufacturing.
What’s new in 2025 (as of October 21, 2025)
-
Market headwinds heighten QMS risk: U.S. manufacturing PMI fell to 48.5 in May 2025, signaling contraction and margin pressure; prioritize risk‑based planning and supplier quality surveillance. Reference: PMI analysis.
-
Tariff expansion and geopolitics drive re‑sourcing; diversify qualified suppliers and tighten incoming quality verification. Reference: 2025 supply chain outlook.
-
Labor and skills constraints persist; integrate training evidence and cross‑train for critical processes to sustain conformity. Reference: Job market/reshoring.
Implementation Playbook
-
Week 1–2: Connect systems (ERP/HR/finance/insurance) and import QMS docs; configure clause‑aligned controls. References: Integrations.
-
Week 3–4: Stand up internal audit plan, CAPA workflows, and calendar alerts; pilot supplier onboarding with COI validation. References: Certification Automation, COI, Calendar.
-
Week 5–8: Conduct a baseline gap assessment with Rosella, remediate high‑risk gaps, and prepare external audit packets. Reference: Rosella AI.
Measure ROI and Maintain Continuous Assurance
Track hard savings (fewer audit hours, fewer supplier defects, faster renewals) and soft savings (lower disruption risk) with Parakeet’s dashboards and ROI tools. References: ROI, Continuous Compliance.
