Net-Inspect Launches Industry-First Supplier Deviation Request Management Module

New Requests Module Eliminates Email Chaos, Delivers Real-Time Visibility and Compliance-Ready Documentation for Complex Supplier Networks

KIRKLAND, WA - September 26, 2025 - Net-Inspect, the global leader in secure quality management software and supply chain visibility, today announced the launch of its Supplier Deviation Request Management module ("Requests"), the first purpose-built solution designed to help manufacturers in highly regulated industries streamline critical supplier deviation and concession requests.

The new "Requests" module transforms manual email and spreadsheet-based processes into structured, real-time workflows that ensure compliance with standards such as AS9100, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485, while delivering comprehensive supplier quality insights.

Across industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, medical devices, and energy, manufacturers often manage hundreds-or even thousands-of suppliers. With quality costs averaging 4.3-8.6% of total sales, manual deviation request processes create significant operational inefficiencies and quality risks.

Net-Inspect's Requests module addresses this industry-wide challenge by providing real-time visibility into supplier request status, tracking repeat issues across the supply base, and generating audit-ready documentation integrated within existing quality management ecosystems. By digitizing and automating these processes, manufacturers can cut cycle times, reduce escalations, and lower the overall cost of quality.

"Manufacturers can't afford to manage critical requests through unstructured email and spreadsheets any longer," said Landyn Knipp, CEO at Net-Inspect. "Our Requests module brings structure, compliance, and visibility into every supplier interaction."

The Requests module seamlessly integrates with Net-Inspect's existing quality management solutions like the Corrective Action Requests (CAR) module and has planned full integrations with our other First Article Inspection (FAI), eSource, and other solutions. This integration creates a comprehensive digital thread from initial supplier request through final disposition, enabling manufacturers to identify systemic quality issues before they impact production.

Key capabilities include customizable request workflows, real-time notifications throughout the disposition process, comprehensive aging metrics, and the ability to generate corrective actions directly from deviation requests. The solution maintains Net-Inspect's industry-leading security standards, including export control compliance capabilities essential for regulated sectors such as aerospace and defense.

Two leading aerospace OEMs and a global robotics manufacturer have already licensed the Requests module, underscoring its value across both established and emerging industries. While adoption is accelerating in aerospace, the solution is equally applicable for any manufacturer seeking to modernize supplier collaboration, reduce the cost of quality, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

"This marks a shift from reactive supplier oversight to proactive quality management," added Landyn Knipp. "By digitizing and connecting these workflows, manufacturers can shorten cycle times, prevent repeat issues, and focus their quality and engineering resources on strengthening processes rather than chasing paperwork."

The Requests module is available immediately to new and existing Net-Inspect customers and can be deployed as a standalone solution or integrated within comprehensive quality management ecosystems.
