Acquisition strengthens Manufacturing
Commercial Operations, accelerating AI-driven quality management
and empowering manufacturers with proactive, data-driven insights
on the ServiceNow platform
ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI platform for business
transformation, today announced the acquisition of the Quality 360
solution from Advania to enhance its strength in the manufacturing
industry. Natively built on ServiceNow, Quality 360 will accelerate
quality management functionality within the ServiceNow
Manufacturing Commercial Operations (MCO) solution and empower
manufacturers with proactive, data-driven insights to address
end-to-end quality issues, ultimately helping to minimize
operational costs and reputational risks.
Quality issues in the manufacturing industry are a significant
concern and can represent costs as high as 15-20% of sales revenue,
according to the American Society for Quality. Originally built by
Advania on the ServiceNow platform, Quality 360 allows
manufacturers to proactively identify and resolve quality issues
across all stages of production and service delivery, from source
identification to containment, corrective action, and resolution.
The acquisition aligns with ServiceNow’s vision to help
manufacturers streamline commercial operations, diversify revenue
streams, and manage complex partner ecosystems—including OEMs,
resellers, and dealers—with real-time visibility.
“Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to maintain
high-quality standards while managing complex supply chains,” said
Rohit Batra, vice president and general manager, Manufacturing,
Telecom, Media & Tech Industries at ServiceNow. “By integrating
Advania’s Quality 360 into the ServiceNow platform, we’re providing
manufacturers with the AI-driven insights and automation they need
to proactively manage quality issues, drive operational efficiency,
and enhance customer trust. This acquisition exemplifies our
commitment to partner-led innovation and delivering
industry-specific solutions that drive meaningful
transformation.”
“As quality management becomes a critical differentiator,
Advania is excited to see Quality 360 join ServiceNow’s
Manufacturing Commercial Operations,” said Hege Støre, Group Chief
Executive Officer at Advania. “ServiceNow’s AI capabilities and
scalable platform will empower manufacturers with a proactive,
data-driven approach to quality management, helping them mitigate
risks and strengthen their competitive edge.”
Quality 360 delivers AI-powered root cause analysis, automated
issue detection, and structured resolution frameworks. With a
centralized Quality Workspace, standardized playbooks, and
real-time communication tools, manufacturers gain a seamless,
end-to-end solution to uphold product integrity and customer
satisfaction.
With this acquisition, ServiceNow continues to reinforce its
role as a trusted partner in manufacturing transformation. This
latest investment builds on our strong focus on co-innovation,
including manufacturing-centric initiatives such as the
collaboration with Siemens on industrial cybersecurity and
AI-driven automation, as well as the acquisition of the 4Industry
solution from Plat4Mation to drive digital transformation across
industrial ecosystems. At the same time, broader partnerships with
companies like Visa and Genesys demonstrate how ServiceNow is
co-innovating across industries to enhance workflow automation and
customer experiences. By fostering a trusted network of partners
and customers, ServiceNow accelerates time to value, drives
industry-wide innovation, and delivers future-proof solutions
across the entire platform.
