Comparison
Q-Hub vs Dot Compliance
Dot Compliance is an AI-powered eQMS for life sciences, built on the Salesforce platform and aimed at pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and cosmetics companies. Q-Hub is a QHSE platform for manufacturers, engineers and testing labs. The right answer depends on whether your compliance is a regulated product pathway or a certified management system.

The short answer
Read this and you may not need the rest of the page.
Choose Dot Compliance if…
You need 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, GAMP 5 or electronic batch records, and you are already invested in Salesforce. That is their ground.
Choose Q-Hub if…
Your compliance covers health and safety and environment as well as quality, and you would rather not buy a platform licence underneath your compliance licence.
Choose neither if…
You need a validated eQMS and a full QHSE system. That is two products.

Where Q-Hub is the better choice
Each one checkable against their own published material.
Independent no Salesforce required

- Dot Compliance
- Yes — built on Salesforce
- Q-Hub

Dot Compliance is "built on the Salesforce platform", so the platform decision and the compliance decision are linked. Q-Hub runs on its own and connects to what you already use through REST API, webhooks and SSO.
Safety and environment are in the same system
- Dot Compliance
- Not named

- Yes
Their module list names Document Management, Change Management, Quality Event Management, Audit, Training, CAPA, Complaint, Risk, Supplier Quality, Equipment Management and Electronic Batch Record. Health and safety is not among them, and neither is environmental management.

The near miss nobody had to type up twice
Dot Compliance does not name health and safety. This is the half that would otherwise live in a second system: captured on a phone at the point it happened, photos attached, on the board before the shift ends.

Where Dot Compliance is the better choice
Cases where we would tell you to choose them, because a comparison page that never concedes is not worth reading.
You need a validated system
- Dot Compliance
- Yes — named
- Q-Hub
- No — we do not claim it
They name 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, GAMP 5, 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485 and ISO 14971. Q-Hub does not claim formal computer-system validation, and would rather say so here than in week three.
You run electronic batch records
- Dot Compliance
- Yes — named module
- Q-Hub
- No — not offered
Their module list names Electronic Batch Record. Q-Hub does not offer it.
You are standardised on Salesforce
- Dot Compliance
- Life sciences quality
- Q-Hub
- Quality, health, safety and environment
If your organisation already runs Salesforce and wants compliance inside it, that dependency becomes an advantage rather than a cost.

Feature deep-dive
Dot Compliance is a life sciences quality system built on Salesforce. It covers the regulated product pathway properly — documents, audits, CAPA, training and supplier quality — and names 21 CFR Part 11, GAMP 5 and electronic batch records alongside them.
What it does not name is health and safety management or environmental management. For a manufacturer running ISO 45001 or ISO 14001 next to ISO 9001, that means a second system, a second supplier, and a reconciliation job every time an auditor asks how an incident led to a corrective action.
It also runs on another vendor's platform. Q-Hub is independent, which matters when Salesforce licensing and release cycles are not yours to set. We do not claim 21 CFR Part 11 and we do not offer batch records, so if those are the requirement this comparison ends here.
- Health, safety and environment in the same system as quality
- Independent platform, with no Salesforce licence underneath
- One CAPA register for quality, safety and environmental findings
- Published pricing from £85/month

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. Dot Compliance is built on the Salesforce platform; Q-Hub runs independently and connects via REST API, webhooks and SSO. There is no platform licence underneath the compliance licence.
Not for validated GxP environments. We do not claim 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11 or GAMP 5. If your auditor expects computer-system validation, stay with a life-sciences eQMS.
Health and safety and environmental management, neither of which is named among their modules, in the same system as quality.
They publish no figures. Q-Hub publishes £85, £245 and £530 a month with implementation included.
For ISO 13485 as a quality system, yes. For design controls, 510(k) or MDSAP submissions, no.
Four weeks is standard, including data migration and role-based training.
Yes — the three standards share a harmonised ten-clause structure, which is why BSI, the UK national standards body, runs them as a single integrated management system: “an integrated management system for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001”. Q-Hub runs all three as one audit programme, so a finding closes once against whichever standard it belongs to instead of being re-entered somewhere else. Dot Compliance does not name health and safety or environmental management, so 45001 and 14001 would need a second system.
