Does it work with the instruments you already own?
FOSS IQX™ Device Management connects to these FOSS analytical instruments. FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality needs none of them.

Dairy & raw milk

Intake, milling and compound feedFood, wine & beer
Food production, cellar and breweryNew models are added over time, and most sites run more than one generation of instrument. A specialist can confirm coverage for your exact fleet.

Real screens from the software, in the order a person moves through them. It runs on its own, or press any step below to stop and look.
01Which instrument?Every instrument on the network, wherever it sits. Pick one and the rest of this follows it.
02Is this the right one?Chassis and serial number, registration and installation dates, software versions and the product description, without walking to it.
03What has it measured?Every sample it has run, with product numbers, sample numbers and the parameters it measured.
04Is it healthy?Start-up tests and manual diagnostics, each with its status and when it ran, so a failing instrument is obvious rather than inferred.
05What went wrong, and when?The events the instrument reported, a canceled measurement for example, with the code and a hint on what to do about it.
06Was it actually running?The log files behind all of it, so downtime is a matter of record rather than an argument.
Example of the product in action
01Who supplies us?Every supplier across the organization, in one place, whoever set them up.
02What have they sent us?The documents imported from suppliers and manufacturers, including the ones approaching expiry.
03What do I need before I call?Contact details, documentation status, the materials they supply, the sites they source from and any previous complaints.

Somebody who runs it already
Rather than one software package for this instrument and another for that one, it’s all one web-based system.
I can go on from home, from my phone, from anywhere I have an internet connection.

No hardware. No IT project
Nothing to install and no servers to provision. Your instruments connect to a cloud platform, and a FOSS specialist configures it alongside your team.
Connect
Link your existing FOSS instruments, or import your supplier list. Cloud-based, so there is nothing to install.
Configure
Set specifications, thresholds, roles and alert rules. Your FOSS specialist configures alongside your team.
Run
Your team works from live dashboards. Reports, reminders and documentation keep themselves current.
If the standard setup is not yours
Three optional add-onsMost laboratories need none of these. A specialist can confirm which apply to your setup.
API
Move data between FOSS IQX™ and your own systems, so records do not have to be exported by hand.
SSO
Sign in through the identity provider your organization already uses, rather than separate FOSS IQX™ credentials.
Private Cloud
A dedicated FOSS IQX™ environment rather than shared infrastructure.

Backed by FossCare™ and SmartCare™
Your software sits alongside the FOSS service contract you already know – planned maintenance, calibration support and specialist access, in one relationship rather than two.

Production Manager
Live status across your line, with readings checked against your specifications as they arrive.
ExploreLab Manager
The analysers on your bench reporting into one place, with methods and calibrations held alongside the results.
ExploreQA Manager
Searchable records across sites and suppliers, so audit evidence is held in one place rather than gathered from several.
ExploreProcurement Manager
One record per supplier, with expiry dates surfaced before anyone else finds them.
ExploreNetwork & IT Manager
One platform to govern instead of a client per analyser, with roles and retention set centrally.
ExploreOperator
The next task in order at the instrument, with results recorded as you work.
ExploreDairy
Intake, processing and laboratory records connected, so a batch traces back to the milk that went into it.
ExploreGrain & milling
At-line and laboratory readings on the same record, so targets are managed on current data.
ExploreFeed & forage
Results tied to lots and suppliers, so raw material variation is visible before it reaches the mix.
ExploreWine & beer
Cellar activity, laboratory analysis and packaging checks against the same batch.
ExploreLaboratories
Method control and result review, with calibrations governed centrally rather than per instrument.
ExploreMeat
Intake, in-process checks and finished-goods records held against the lot as it moves.

Do I need both products?

Does this replace our FossCare™ service contract?
Two solutions. One software
They serve different teams and each works without the other. Run either, or both.
FOSS IQX™ Device Management
For the people who answer for uptime, calibration and where a result came from.
- Every instrument you run, in one list, wherever it sits
- Diagnostics and events with status and timing, so a failing instrument is obvious rather than inferred
- Log files kept with the instrument, so downtime is a matter of record
FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality
For the people who answer for what arrives at the gate, and whether the paperwork holds.
- Every supplier across the organization, in one place, whoever set them up
- Their documents, with the ones approaching expiry flagged before they lapse
- Contacts, materials, sites and previous complaints on one screen
Answer two questions and we will tell you where to start
The two products solve different problems, and one of them needs hardware you may not have. This settles it in about ten seconds.
What are you trying to fix?
Do you run FOSS analytical instruments?
Your answer appears here. Nothing is submitted and no email is asked for.
FOSS IQX™ Device Management
Your instruments are the problem to solve and you already have the hardware it needs. FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality is there later if the problem moves upstream.
FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality
This runs on supplier data alone, so nothing on your plant floor has to change. It is the one to start with either way.
Start with FOSS IQX™ Device Management
FOSS IQX™ Device Management covers the instruments you already run. Add FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality when you want the material’s origin on the same record. Same software, so the second is a configuration rather than a new platform.
FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality
FOSS IQX™ Device Management connects to FOSS analytical instruments, so without one on site it is not your starting point. FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality needs no instrument at all.
Check which instruments you run
Whether FOSS IQX™ Device Management applies depends on what is already on site. That takes a couple of minutes to confirm, and the answer decides the rest.
FOSS IQX™ Device Management
Monitor and maintain your FOSS analytical instruments across your sites, with results, calibration and alerts in one place.
- Live status across your sites
- Uptime and maintenance tracked in one place
- Results held with the method that produced them
FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality

- Suppliers update their own documentation
- Consistent scoring across your suppliers

No price list, but no mystery either
Pricing depends on the size of your operation, so a published figure would be wrong for almost everyone. Here is what it scales with and what is included, so you can judge whether the conversation is worth having.
What drives the number
- How many instruments you connect, for FOSS IQX™ Device Management
- How many suppliers you manage, for FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality
- Which modules your operation actually uses
What is included
- The platform itself, hosted and maintained
- Configuration alongside a FOSS specialist
- Updates as they are released
How to get a figure
- Tell us roughly what you run and how many sites
- A specialist confirms which product applies
- You get a number against your setup, in writing
If you already know your instrument count or supplier numbers, the conversation is usually short. If you do not, a specialist can work it out with you.
