- No ownership — tasks fall through the cracks
- Customers chase you for status updates
- Copy-pasting into Word & Excel templates
- Repeat failures — no lessons learned
- Everything in one cloud workspace
- Clear assignments, deadlines, notifications
- Real-time visibility for everyone involved
- One-click professional PDF export
- Structured 8D process prevents recurrence

FAQ
Questions? Answers.
What is the 8D methodology?
The 8D (Eight Disciplines) methodology is a structured problem-solving approach originally developed by Ford Motor Company. It guides teams through eight steps: forming a team, describing the problem, interim containment actions, root cause analysis, corrective actions, verification, preventive actions, and team recognition. The output is a comprehensive 8D report.
Do I need to install any software?
No. 8D Report is fully cloud-based and works in any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari. There's nothing to install, update, or maintain. Just sign up and start using it.
Can I invite people outside my organization?
Absolutely. You can invite suppliers, customers, and external consultants to collaborate on specific 8D reports. They'll have access only to the reports you share with them, ensuring your data stays secure while enabling seamless cross-organization collaboration.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your data is hosted on Microsoft Azure with enterprise-grade security. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We are fully GDPR-compliant and follow industry best practices for data protection and privacy.
What happens after the free trial?
After your 21-day free trial, choose a plan that fits your team. If you decide not to continue, your account is simply paused — no data is lost. You can reactivate anytime by selecting a plan.
Can I export reports?
Yes. Export professional, customer-ready 8D reports as PDF with one click. The exported reports include all data, actions, root cause analyses, and evidence — formatted and ready to send to your customers.
