From Legacy Systems to Leading Compliance: Weston Aerospace’s Transformation with Qhub

Outdated Systems and Compliance Bottlenecks

For Weston Aerospace, inefficiencies were evident across multiple areas. Legacy systems failed to deliver actionable data when needed, creating significant bottlenecks in key operations. NCRs were often delayed in resolution due to manual tracking and follow-ups, while internal and regulatory audits consumed excessive time and resources. Compliance teams found themselves bogged down by repetitive, manual tasks instead of focusing on strategic goals, and inter-departmental communication suffered from a lack of visibility into shared objectives.

These challenges were compounded by the high standards of the aerospace industry, where compliance is non-negotiable. The need for accurate, real-time data to meet ISO requirements, track training, manage calibration, and conduct inspections became increasingly critical.

Streamlined Compliance and Real-Time Insights

Qhub introduced a game-changing approach for Weston Aerospace. Leveraging its modular platform, Weston Aerospace adopted several Qhub hubs tailored to address their specific needs. The Audit Hub became central to their compliance strategy, offering automated audit scheduling, reporting, and real-time dashboards. With templates for various ISO standards, audit preparation and follow-ups were streamlined, significantly reducing the burden on compliance teams.

The Process Hub enabled the digitisation of business-critical workflows, including NCR management and CAPA processes. Tasks that previously required extensive manual effort were automated, with built-in alerts and due dates ensuring timely action. The Registers further automated admin-heavy processes, eliminating errors and providing instant access to historical data.

With these tools, Weston Aerospace not only improved compliance management but also fostered better communication across departments. By digitizing NCR workflows and integrating live KPIs, the quality team gained instant visibility into resolution progress, enabling faster and more accurate decision-making.

Achieving Audit Excellence and Process Efficiency

Weston Aerospace saw dramatic improvements in efficiency and compliance management. Qhub’s features, such as real-time dashboards and automated workflows, allowed the company to save hours each week on repetitive tasks. Processes like calibration and H&S inspections were simplified, while audit reporting—once a time-consuming exercise—became seamless with the Audit Hub.

The Portals added another layer of efficiency by creating an intuitive interface for external stakeholders, enabling secure data sharing and real-time updates. Training records and compliance metrics were instantly accessible, and task management became centralised within Qhub’s platform, enhancing accountability.

Ultimately, Qhub’s ability to bring together all aspects of compliance and operational efficiency into one system transformed the way Weston Aerospace managed its business. The streamlined processes freed up team capacity to focus on innovation, rather than administrative tasks.
