Deployment timelines from kickoff to first process live in production run at 50 days on customised SAP estates. The scoping session at the start of the engagement maps the specific complaint types in scope, the traceability logic held in the function, the systems the traceability chain reaches into, and the SAP integration pattern that applies to the customer's environment, and produces a defensible timeline against those variables.

The primary write path is direct integration with SAP, most commonly through OData against S/4HANA. Read operations cover the production records, the goods movement, the material lot, the delivery record and the customer master. Write operations flag affected stock in SAP against every location where the batch remains in circulation. Adjacent connections include the QMS for the quality record where the function runs one, CRM systems where the customer relationship sits, and the shared inboxes and portals where complaints arrive today. The integration is scoped to the estate the function actually runs, not a generic SAP configuration.

Cases where the complaint text cannot be resolved to a specific part, batch or purchase order, for example when the customer's reference is truncated, when multiple candidate batches match, or when the identifiers fall outside the confidence threshold, are routed to the quality team with the extraction, the ambiguity, the candidate matches and the corresponding SAP context already assembled. The reviewer sees what was extracted, what candidates the system identified and where the ambiguity sits, and the resolution they take is captured in the same audit log as the automated cases.

Yes. The process is built around the function's complaint intake rules and the traceability configuration for each product line. Different products carry different traceability paths, some by serial number, some by batch, some by production date and shift, and each configuration runs in parallel through the same intake layer, with the traceability logic determined by the product identified at intake.

No. The containment decision, whether the outcome is batch retrieval, an expanded recall to adjacent batches, or a broader field recall, is taken by the quality team, not by an AI system. Noxus assembles the evidence base the decision requires: the affected batch, the customer distribution, the stock status, the production context. The AI layer handles the retrieval and interpretation work. The decision is human, and the decision-maker is captured in the audit record alongside the evidence they acted on.

The platform runs inside the customer's own infrastructure, typically on a VM inside the customer's environment. Data does not leave the customer's estate. The integration with SAP is scoped to the permissions the customer grants, and every action against SAP runs under those permissions and is logged. The platform holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR Article 28 certifications, and the deployment architecture is designed to pass an enterprise IT and security review as a standard step of the initial engagement.

The commercial model is a platform licence with the complaint volume, the number of product lines in scope, the traceability depth and the deployment complexity as the primary variables. The first engagement typically includes the deployment engineering to get the initial process live on the customer's SAP estate. Subsequent processes deployed on the same infrastructure carry predominantly platform spend, and the economics improve structurally as further processes across the quality function are brought onto the same environment.

Generic complaint management tools categorise complaints and route tickets; the traceability chase, the customer impact analysis, the SAP stock flagging and the case assembly still fall to the quality team. CRM ticket systems capture the customer conversation but do not reach into SAP, the QMS or the delivery record where the traceability chain lives. QMS platforms hold the non-conformance record and the corrective action but do not extend into the customised SAP estate for stock containment. Product quality complaint handling is a traceability exercise across every system the complaint touches, and the software required to run it end to end is the one that operates against the SAP estate the function actually runs, holds the audit chain as architectural foundation, and configures to the non-conformance and corrective action logic under ISO 9001 Clause 10.2 rather than requiring the function to standardise around a tool's data model.

Generic product feedback platforms and RPA bots handle intake and routing, but none run the traceability chain from the complaint back to the affected batch across SAP, the QMS and delivery records. RPA breaks when SAP configurations change or when complaint formats vary. A product quality complaint requires the full chain: the batch identified, the production and delivery records traced, every affected customer located, stock flagged across locations, and the containment package assembled for the quality team. Noxus runs that chain on the SAP estate the function operates, with every step logged for audit, ISO 9001 Clause 10.2 compliance and customer escalation.
