We assign a specific staff member to assist and answer any questions you have about your new EQMS system. Onboarding isn’t limited to document uploads, it is about helping your organization succeed.
We help you find the quality consultant suited to your company stage, location and industry. We will focus on getting you up and running, while experts help you in the process of getting certified.
It depends on the number of documents, processes and the company size. While an SMB with little documentation can start in 2 business days, larger organizations may require up to 6 months to get up and running.
We offer a support center that provides email and in-app chat support. We answer all the questions posed by users, regardless of their role in the organization.
Yes. While we’ve worked hard to make Cordage as easy to use and understand as possible, it is a fairly big software solution. We assign a dedicated customer success agent to guide you through your setup, data migration, and training.

We adapt to your payment preferences. We provide a 15-day free demo for you to experience our EQMS product. After that, we will charge your credit card monthly or annually, depending on your preference. We offer special pricing for multi-annual deals.
