How easo is different.
There are good tools on the market. The difference is the approach — where your data lives, how integrity is proven, and what a switch costs you.
vs hosted eQMS tools
Hosted suites keep your QMS on their servers — and hold onto it when you want to leave. With easo your QMS is plain files in your own git; leaving costs you nothing. Their pricing is often per seat or on request; easo has one flat price per company with unlimited readers. On the lived handbook and completeness guidance we match them — on integrity proofs and migration we go further.
vs DIY Office, SharePoint or Google
Home-grown folders drift, can't prove integrity and fail audits. easo delivers real revision-safety, cryptographic signatures, an audit trail and a guided path to certification — with no IT project and no dependence on Microsoft or Google.
vs a document management system (DMS)
If you have one, keep it. The standard itself separates two kinds of documented information: records, which are retained — invoices, inspection protocols, evidence — and documents, which are maintained — procedures, policies, processes. A DMS is built for retention: capture, search, deadlines, statutory archiving. It does that well.
easo is built for the other half. A DMS answers whether you can produce a document unchanged in ten years; easo answers which version is in force today, who released it, and whether anyone works to it — enforced four-eyes release, the current state visible on every document, clause coverage and a gap list. Both sides say "audit-proof" and mean different things: there, records that cannot be altered; here, also the control of what currently applies.
The one thing no one else offers
Your QMS lives in your own git. We host none of your content — no competitor that holds your data can promise the same without giving up their business model. With easo, data sovereignty isn't an add-on; it's the architecture.
Honest limitations
In fairness: easo is young — the first public versions are here, while established tools have years' head start. And "your git" is a novel idea — which is why we hide the git completely, so your team never touches it. Whatever we claim, we can prove.

easo is available for macOS and Windows. The newsletter tells you what comes next — new versions and new content, nothing else.
