Case Study: Gulf Engineered Rubber & Plastics achieves centralized, cloud-based EQMS and 360° quality visibility with ComplianceQuest

A Passion for Centralizing and Improving Quality Systems Across the Globe

Gulf, a global designer and manufacturer of precision-engineered rubber and plastic products, was operating on a paper- and premises-based quality management system built from disparate tools (Access, SharePoint, Excel, email) and needed a scalable, remote-capable EQMS. In 2021 Gulf selected ComplianceQuest’s next‑generation, Salesforce-native cloud EQMS (including Document Control, Inspection Management, Nonconformance, and CAPA modules) to centralize and modernize its quality systems.

ComplianceQuest implemented a fully automated, configurable cloud EQMS that migrated over 450 control documents and 600 inspection criteria, enabled 24/7 remote access, and streamlined inspections with attribute-based sampling plans and certificates of conformance. The solution gave Gulf a 360-degree view of quality and project workflows, reduced manual handoffs, improved speed to market, and freed Gulf’s quality team (per Kenny Woods) to focus on product and process improvements.
