Looking for a Qualio Alternative? Why Cosmetics Manufacturers Choose Cornerstone

Qualio Was Built for Pharma. Cornerstone Was Built for You.

Qualio and ZenQMS are capable platforms — for pharmaceutical and medical device companies. If you are a cosmetics or food manufacturer evaluating these systems, you will quickly find that ISO 22716 GMP, BRCGS Consumer Products, and HACCP are not core to their design. They are add-ons, workarounds, or simply absent. Cornerstone is the alternative built specifically for your sector — with ISO 22716, BRCGS, and HACCP compliance frameworks built in from the start, and unlimited users at a single flat monthly price that does not grow with your team.


Tick icon confirming feature included

No per-user charges — ever. Qualio and ZenQMS both charge per seat. At 15 users, those platforms cost three to four times more per month than a full Cornerstone subscription. Your licence cost stays the same whether you have 5 users or 50.

Tick icon confirming feature included

ISO 22716 and BRCGS built in from day one — not configured after the fact. Cornerstone workflows reflect the specific clause-level requirements of your standards. Qualio was designed for 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11. Those are different requirements for different industries.

Tick icon confirming feature included

HACCP and production control included — not available in Qualio or ZenQMS. Cornerstone covers HACCP plan management, HARA tools, production works orders, in-process checks, and batch traceability as core platform features.

Tick icon confirming feature included

UK-based support from GMP practitioners — not a US-based help desk unfamiliar with BRCGS or ISO 22716. When you have a question about your compliance system, you speak to people who have sat on both sides of the audit table.

How We Solve It

Simple: Cornerstone was designed for your sector, not adapted to it.<br />
Qualio and ZenQMS were built for pharmaceutical and medical device companies operating under 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11. Those are different regulatory frameworks for different industries. When a cosmetics or food manufacturer uses these platforms, they are paying for features they do not need and missing controls they do.<br />
Cornerstone covers ISO 22716 GMP, BRCGS Consumer Products Issue 4, ISO 9001, and HACCP as core platform frameworks — not workarounds. The workflows reflect how cosmetics and food audits actually run. The support comes from practitioners who know your standards. And the pricing is one flat monthly subscription with unlimited users, so the cost stays the same whether your team is 5 people or 50.
