As the year comes to a close, it’s time for our annual look back at how the AlisQI QMS platform has evolved over the past twelve months. Much like last year, 2025 has been about steady, purposeful progress: combining larger strategic bets with many smaller improvements that, together, make everyday quality work simpler, more intuitive, and more actionable.
While the first months of the year focused on expanding flexibility and easing configuration, the second half of 2025 was largely shaped by a broader document management (DMS) vision, complemented by thoughtful usability enhancements and carefully applied AI capabilities. Below is a month‑by‑month overview of the highlights that defined this year.
Here’s to a Happy New Year and to boosting Quality Management together!
We started the year by giving customers more programmatic control over their environments. With set creation via API, teams can now automate the setup of analysis structures directly from their own systems. This laid an important foundation for deeper integrations and more scalable workflows, especially for organizations managing large or frequently changing datasets.
February was a quieter month in terms of visible releases, but an important one for usability. Notes in analysis set specifications allow teams to document context, assumptions, or rationale directly where configurations are defined. It’s a small change with a big impact: improving clarity, collaboration, and long‑term maintainability of complex setups.
In March, we introduced our AI‑powered PDF extraction tool. Designed to reduce manual work and speed up onboarding of existing documentation, this feature helps users extract structured data from PDFs more efficiently. Rather than adding AI for its own sake, this tool focuses on a very real, very common pain point: turning static documents into usable, structured information.
April brought more control and consistency to access management. Reusable access restrictions make it easier to apply the same permission logic across different areas of the application, while the permission management API enables centralized, automated control. Together, these improvements support governance at scale without adding administrative overhead.
May marked the beginning of a stronger focus on document lifecycle management. The new lifecycle sidebar provides a clear, actionable overview of where documents are in their lifecycle and what actions are required from each user. Instead of static lists, users now see what they need to do, when they need to do it.
Alongside this, we introduced the Italian language pack, continuing our commitment to making AlisQI accessible to a broader, more international user base.
One of June’s highlights was the expression engine copilot. The expression engine is one of the most powerful, but also most complex, features in the platform. With the copilot, users can get AI‑assisted help generating expressions, lowering the barrier to advanced configurations while keeping full control and transparency. This opt‑in approach reflects our broader philosophy around AI: supportive, responsible, and user‑driven.
In July, we continued refining document workflows. The revamped document procedure page improves clarity and navigation, while enhancements to the “Read and understand” loop reduce friction in everyday compliance tasks. Users can now complete confirmations more naturally, directly in the context where they are already working.
August’s release was a visual one, but no less impactful. Dark mode quickly became one of the most well‑received features of the year, over 35 000 users reacted positively to the news. Beyond aesthetics, it improves accessibility and usability in varied working environments, from offices to shop floors, by offering better contrast and reduced eye strain. Sometimes, the biggest wins come from making the application more comfortable to use every day.
September returned the focus squarely to document management. The revamped document registry page improves performance, structure, and usability, making it easier to find, manage, and act on documents. This update was another step toward a more cohesive, task‑oriented document management experience.
October was defined by two major additions. Templates introduced a new way to get started faster, guiding users with pre‑built configurations aligned to specific use cases and solvers. Rather than starting from a blank canvas, teams can now build on proven structures using the same building blocks available everywhere in the platform.
Bulk operations in the document registry complemented this by making large‑scale document actions faster and more efficient. An essential improvement for organizations managing high document volumes.
In November, we focused on connectivity and actionability. Manual workflows from results allow users to trigger follow‑up processes directly from their data, while more flexible webhooks make it easier to integrate AlisQI into broader digital ecosystems. These features help close the loop between insight and action.
We closed the year by strengthening lifecycle control. Building on earlier document management improvements, this release gives organizations even more confidence and oversight across every stage of a document’s life: from creation to approval, review, and beyond.
Looking back at 2025, a few themes stand out clearly. Templates emerged as a key milestone in our broader “solvers” journey, providing the first in‑app manifestation of how we think about structured, outcome‑oriented quality management. Document management saw consistent, meaningful investment, transforming static repositories into actionable workflows. And AI began to play a careful but valuable role, focused on real user needs rather than trends.
As we move into the new year, these foundations will allow us to go further connecting data, documents, and workflows into a more cohesive experience that doesn’t just show information but helps users understand what to do next.
Thank you for being part of the AlisQI journey. We’re excited to continue building together in the year ahead.
