Qooling

Overview

Qooling is a cloud-based QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment) management platform built to help businesses digitalize operations and maintain regulatory compliance. The platform unifies document control, risk assessments, audit management, incident tracking, and CAPA workflows into a single collaborative interface. Designed for continuous improvement, Qooling enables organizations to adhere to standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Real-time dashboards provide actionable insights for compliance officers and operational teams across sites.

Founder story

Qooling was founded in 2015 by Jerry de Swart and Nick Appel in the Netherlands. Recognizing that growing industrial and logistics companies struggled with paper-based safety audits, fragmented spreadsheets, and complex ISO compliance, they built Qooling to simplify QHSE operations. The software digitizes quality and safety workflows into a user-friendly, cloud-native platform.
