QMS Total

The client

QMS Total is a lab-software product family. The core product centralises a laboratory’s quality management - document control, audit readiness, training records, reporting and analytics, risk management - and streamlines ISO/IEC 17025 compliance. Around it sit CalForms (equipment calibration schedules, records and certificates), TruGold (gold purity testing connected to laboratory balances), RNexus (multi-balance data collection) and WeighWise (data capture and export with audit logs). Its site describes it as trusted by laboratories worldwide.

What we built

Two things, on two very different stacks.

The website at qmstotal.com is a Next.js marketing site: a homepage that explains the product family in one scroll, five individual product pages with screenshots, an FAQ accordion, an About page, and “Schedule a Demo” flows that route to a contact form. Built with the App Router on Vercel, Tailwind with shadcn/ui and Radix primitives, Lucide icons, and Lato with Poppins for type. Sky blue is the brand and the site wears it lightly.

The desktop application is a licence-based, offline product: React and Electron.js, packaged as a Windows installer, using a local SQLite database and Tabulator.js for the dense record tables labs actually work in. It runs on the bench machine, next to the instruments, on networks that may never touch the internet - which is exactly where a quality manager needs it.

How it was built

The desktop and web products share a design language and a team but not a runtime. The website is statically rendered for speed and SEO. The application is Electron with Node.js under it, so it can talk to serial-port instruments, write immutable records locally, and enforce licences without a server. Product features that were proven inside the desktop line - calibration tracking, balance integration - later became their own products in the family.
