Our verdict on Qontiv
Qontiv is a cloud manufacturing execution system for discrete manufacturers in regulated industries, including medical-device, automotive, aerospace, and advanced-energy companies. Its document-control capabilities are designed for teams managing work instructions and other controlled production documents. The platform keeps each revision as a separate record, routes changes through sequenced approval steps, supersedes obsolete versions, and applies effective and expiry dates. It also links controlled documents to equipment and work instructions while supporting production execution, quality, traceability, scheduling, maintenance, analytics, and electronic production-record signatures.
Pricing is structured around a monthly platform fee and production-line charges rather than a per-user starting price. The Core plan costs $1,000 per month and includes production execution, traceability, unlimited users and operators, 100,000 API calls, and 50 GB of monthly storage, but document control is not included. Professional costs $1,800 per month and adds the full Qontiv MES, document management, approval workflow, 1,000,000 API calls, and 500 GB of monthly storage. Enterprise requires a $150,000 annual minimum commitment and adds multi-plant deployments, SSO with SAML and OIDC, SCIM provisioning, SAP S/4HANA Cloud and NetSuite connectors, unlimited API calls, and unlimited storage.
The strongest fit is an industrial organization that needs document governance tied closely to manufacturing operations. A tamper-evident audit trail, role-based controls, revision history, expiry management, REST API, CSV export, webhooks, and connectors for Oracle EBS, Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing, NetSuite SuiteTalk, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, and MaintainX support broader operational integration. However, the approval record is not currently a controlled electronic signature with a declared meaning, and SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 are described as roadmap items. Teams requiring verified electronic signatures or currently held certifications should consider alternatives; teams prioritizing document control within a wider MES may find Qontiv more suitable.
