The challenge
Quality management systems are critical for manufacturers, defense contractors, and regulated industries, yet traditional QMS solutions are often expensive, rigid, and difficult to implement. Small and mid-sized companies struggle to maintain compliance without dedicated quality teams or costly consultants.
QMS2GO was created to change that by using AI to automate, guide, and simplify quality management, making compliance more accessible, faster, and scalable.
LA New Product Development Team partnered with QMS2GO at an early stage to help turn this vision into a working product.
Our solution
QMS2GO engaged LA NPDT during the concept and proof-of-concept phase, when the idea existed primarily as a vision for how AI could assist quality professionals.
At that stage, the company needed more than ideas, it needed a working MVP that could demonstrate real value to users and investors.
LA NPDT helped:
- Define the product scope and core value proposition
- Translate quality workflows into software logic
- Identify where AI could provide the highest leverage
- Build an MVP capable of real-world use and feedback
Rapid software and AI development
Using LA NPDT’s experienced software and AI development team, QMS2GO was able to move quickly. We developed the backend architecture, core application logic, and user-facing interfaces while simultaneously integrating AI-driven features.
Our work included:
- Full-stack software development
- AI model integration and training
- Document analysis and generation workflows
- UI and UX design optimized for non-technical users
- Continuous iteration based on user feedback
This ability to iterate rapidly and add features quickly allowed QMS2GO to maintain momentum and demonstrate traction.
Technical execution that enabled accelerator success
The technical foundation built with LA NPDT played a key role in QMS2GO’s acceptance into Techstars, one of the world’s leading startup accelerators. A functional, evolving product allowed the team to focus on customer discovery, partnerships, and growth during the program.
Following Techstars, LA NPDT continued to support technical execution, ensuring the platform scaled alongside the company.
A long-term product development partner
LA NPDT’s role with QMS2GO extended beyond initial MVP development. We acted as a long-term product development and execution partner, supporting ongoing feature development, AI enhancements, UI refinements, and marketing-related technical assets.
This partnership allowed QMS2GO to operate with the velocity of a much larger engineering team while maintaining focus on strategy, customers, and fundraising.

For LA NPDT, the project highlights our ability to support AI and SaaS startups from concept through execution, funding, and scale.
A proven partner for AI and SaaS product development
QMS2GO is one of several projects where LA New Product Development Team helped transform a complex idea into a scalable, funded software platform. If you’re building an AI or SaaS product and need a partner who can move quickly from concept to MVP and beyond, we’re ready to help.
We also designed, engineered and manufactured QMS2GO's hardware — see the QMS2GO digital voice recorder case study for the wearable device that feeds audio into this platform.
