TLM and the support we get from our account rep has made that all possible. > > **Cons**: The TLM main app is a quality experts' tool, and not having a strong background in quality, it takes a little while to learn. The support from our TLM account rep makes the learning curve a lot less steep. > > Excellent. Overall, we have been completely satisfied over the last 3 years or so. Our last ISO 9001 audit has zero findings or recommendations, as the software and support ensure we stay on track. ----- ### "A useful system for keeping quality work organized" — 5.0/5 > **Cristal M** | *24 September 2026* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: TLM keeps our quality documents, records, and supplier information organized in one place. I can find what I need for my daily work without searching through multiple locations. > > **Cons**: I’m still learning some of TLM’s features, so it can take me a little time to find the right function. I haven’t encountered a significant issue with the software so far. > > My experience with TLM has been positive. I use it for quality documents, records, and supplier information, and I appreciate having those materials organized and accessible in one system. ----- ### "Awesome tool for small businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Sara** | *24 September 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: TLM is great for management to maintain a birds eye view of the workflow while giving other employees customizable access to certain information. > > **Cons**: Some features of the software can be difficult to navigate at times. Thankfully Customer Support is very efficient and prompt. > > The software offers a lot of value for the level of quality that you receive. It's a great tool for small businesses that want to implement a QMS software from the start. ----- ### "Great QMS Software and the best Customer Support\!" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *23 July 2021* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Software has all the requirements for both GMPs and ISO 13485. Most modules are very easy to use. The system is very reasonably priced and customer support is top notch. > > **Cons**: TLM can function on the desktop connected to a local server, or as a SaaS using solely a browser to access the system connected to a data center (hosted) database, so we really haven't had any experiences that are worth complaining about. > > C2C highly recommends the Lean Machine QMS software. It meets all of the requirements for GMP and ISO 13485, easy to use and great customer support. We have gone through 2 ISO 13485:2016 audits with no issues relating to the software. ----- ### "The Lean Machine" — 5.0/5 > **Jim** | *6 February 2010* > > **Pros**: Excellent version \& checkout control, management control. The ability to designate certain classes of documents and then list per the classification is helpful. The distribution control of controlled documents works well. We like the super fast response from customer support. Also, the software designer is open to special improvements to assist our workflow and data integrity. There was one instance when we were actually undergoing a FDA inspection and a version control deficiency was identified and that same day David Smithstein implemented a fix that has been made a permanent feature in the software. Of particular value to us is the quick search features that allow us to locate specific documents by various means. In a recent FDA inspection the inspectors commented on the easy location and presentation of documentation they requested. We constantly modify our documents and the version control and saving of historical versions is excellent. Highest Recommendation\!\! > > **Cons**: There are too many screens for the review and approval of existing documents. It would be nice to have a one click "review and release" button for documents that haven't changed but require review every 12 months. The individual screens can not be increased in size. > > I have recommended TLM to auditors, inspectors and fellow regulatory and quality professionals over the last 5 years. I looked at many QMS packages when we started our company and TLM was not a front runner then, they were a small company with a fledgling product and it has grown and improved over the years into an excellent product that I am comfortable continuing to recommend.
