Sentinel is a solutions provider, not another subscription. We design and build a custom quality and warehouse system around how your shop already runs — then hand you the keys. Still on paper, clipboards, and spreadsheets? That's exactly who we build for.

Every Sentinel engagement starts with how your shop actually runs — paper, spreadsheets, and all — not a generic template you have to bend your process around.
We map your quality and warehouse process — including the paper and spreadsheets you're running on today — and where things fall through.
We build your custom QMS — and WMS, if you need it — around your actual workflow, not a one-size-fits-all setup.
Your system, your data, and your documentation are transferred to you. It belongs to you, not to a subscription.
Run it yourself at no ongoing cost, or have us keep managing it for a flat monthly rate. Entirely your call.
A traveler on a clipboard or a shared spreadsheet works until three people touch it at once, a page goes missing, or nobody remembers to close out a CAPA. Traceability disappears exactly when an auditor asks for it.
Legacy QMS/WMS platforms are priced per seat and take months to configure. Building your own means hiring developers most small shops don't have — and don't have the time to manage.
Without a system tracking documents, training, and corrective actions in one place, audit prep becomes a week of digging through email and paper file folders before the auditor arrives.
No bolt-on modules to license separately — a Sentinel system covers the record-keeping core for both, configured to what your shop needs.
NCR · CAPALog nonconforming material, drive root cause, and track corrective/preventive action to closure with full history.
SCARIssue supplier corrective action requests, track response due dates, and keep a record tied to the supplier file.
RGA · COMPTrack customer returns, dispositions, and complaint trends against your own thresholds — not a generic default.
DOC · TRNControlled document versions and training records in one place, linked to the people and roles that need them.
INSPFirst-article inspections and gauge/calibration tracking, so measurement equipment status is never a surprise.
MRVA live readiness score across every module, so you always know exactly where a surprise audit would find you.
INV · RCVKnow what's on hand and where, and post receipts against open POs so stock counts stay accurate without a spreadsheet.
PICK · PACKFulfill orders against on-hand stock with a clear status from ready-to-pick through shipped.
CYC CNTScheduled counts reconcile system quantity against what's actually on the shelf, with variance tracked over time.
Nonconformance, CAPA, and readiness tracking configured to the standard your customers actually audit against.
A Sentinel system is a record-keeping and tracking tool. It helps you organize the evidence an auditor looks for — it doesn't replace the judgment of your quality team, and using it does not by itself guarantee certification or regulatory approval of any kind. Responsibility for your quality management system remains yours.
I'm Kash Patel, and I run Sentinel out of Franklin, Wisconsin. I spent fifteen years working in quality manufacturing before I built any of this — chasing nonconformances across three different binders, rebuilding the same spreadsheet every quarter, and finding out what was missing the week an auditor showed up.
That's the whole reason Sentinel isn't a template. I've stood where your quality manager is standing, and I know the difference between a system that looks good in a demo and one that still gets used on a Thursday afternoon when the line is down and nobody has time for it.
When you contact Sentinel, you're talking to the person who will map your process and build your system. There's no salesperson handing you off afterward, no account manager, no offshore team, and no ticket queue. I take on a small number of builds at a time, on purpose — it's the only way the result actually fits the shop it was built for.
If you're still running quality off paper and spreadsheets and you've been told your only options are a five-figure enterprise platform or building it yourself, I'd like to show you a third one.
No monthly service fees — unless you want us managing the system for you. A Sentinel build is yours outright the day it's delivered. Ongoing support is optional, never required.
A tailored QMS and WMS application built around your process. One-time build, no subscription required.
Optional — if you'd rather we keep managing it: ongoing changes, improvements, support, and training. A flat monthly rate, entirely your choice.
Administrator training, full documentation, and handoff so your team can run and modify it themselves. No monthly fee, ever.
Already have a shop running on the hosted plan, or want that instead of a self-hosted build? Talk to us — a monthly-hosted option is still available.
Just your email — no password, nothing to fill out. We'll keep it on file so we can follow up if you'd like a system built for your shop.
