Software for Product and Process Approval
Process control with resampling and requalification inspections
Efficient Characteristic Extraction
From CAD drawings, formulations or existing inspection plans
The CASQ-it PPAP software manages your entire production part approval process with suppliers, manufacturers and customers, including resampling and requalification testing. CASQ-it PPAP extracts characteristics from your CAD drawings, formulations and existing inspection plans. Alternatively, you can enter them manually. The PPAP software's seamless integration within the CASQ-it module family ensures smooth data flow: All characteristics can be transferred directly to individual inspection plans for incoming goods, in- process and outgoing goods inspections — and vice versa. At the end, all approval procedures are documented in full compliance with IATF 16949, VDA 2, AIAG and DIN EN 9102 standards.
CASQ-it PPAP can operate as a standalone solution or seamlessly integrate with other CASQ-it modules — providing a tailored solution to meet your specific requirements.

How CASQ-it PPAP supports your approval processes
PPAP Software in the Development Process
Procedure Selection
The report explorer centralizes all ongoing and completed approval processes, clearly structured by approval procedure and providing access to all detailed reports at the click of a button. Approval procedures according to IATF 16949, VDA 2 (PPA), AIAG (PPAP) and DIN EN 9102 are natively integrated in CASQ-it. Sampling according to customer-specific requirements is also supported. For similar processes or products, approval workflows are accelerated through report inheritance.



Detailed planing
CASQ-it PPAP assists you in defining characteristics: Features, nominal dimensions and tolerances are imported from your CAD drawings, with automatic ballooning of features. You can also transfer characteristic structures directly from the inspection plans in the CASQ-it modules IGI, BII, SPC, and OGI. Additional items can easily be added during data entry.
CASQ-it PPAP simplifies the setup of your detailed reports, giving you direct access to stored symbol sets for geometric tolerances and to integrated standards for automatic tolerance calculation.
Sampling
Online measurement data can be captured in CASQ-it PPAP via connected gauges, keyboard input or directly from your measuring machines. Immediate graphical alerts highlight any specification violations occurring during this process.
Each item supports qualitative assessments, single or multiple measurements and formula links, ensuring particularly efficient data capture.
Take Your Approval Processes to the Next Level
Approval
CASQ-it PPAP ensures transparent documentation of every stage in your approval process:
- Decision pending
- Approval without conditions
- Approval with conditions
- Rejection
- The software also supports counter-verification by the customer.
Reporting
CASQ-it PPAP facilitates paperless information exchange: every report can be exported and imported in the standard XML format according to QDX 2.1 specifications. This enables fully digital report exchange with your customers and suppliers.
Naturally, CASQ-it PPAP also supports online report submission through customer and supplier portals — via our certified QDX interface.
Supplier Integration
The CASQ-it PPAP Supplier Edition is a compact, single-user solution designed specifically for your suppliers. It requires no database and can be installed by your supplier with just a few clicks. With the Supplier Edition, the approval process between you and your supplier becomes not only faster but also more efficient: your supplier submits samples exactly according to your specifications, directly in the required format.
The report exchange between CASQ-it PPAP and the CASQ-it PPAP Supplier Edition is handled via a standardized XML format — completely paperless, almost at the push of a button, and without the risk of transmission errors associated with manual data entry.
