MasterControl Named No. 1 MES and QMS on G2

Quality and manufacturing teams don't just look for software, they look for results. Systems that help deliver right-first-time execution, reduce audit risk, cut paper, and keep production moving.

That's why we're proud to announce that MasterControl has been named the No.1 MES and No. 1 QMS on G2 for Winter 2026. This recognition comes straight from real customer reviews, reflecting what professionals experience every day on the shop floor and in quality teams.

What G2 Recognition Means

G2 rankings are based on verified customer feedback, satisfaction scores, and market presence. Being named a Leader shows that MasterControl is not just widely used but also highly valued by teams who depend on it every day.

G2 badges like Best Usability, Best Relationship, Momentum Leader, and Highest User Adoption tell a bigger story: teams don't just adopt MasterControl, they succeed with it.

Across manufacturing execution system (MES) and quality management system (QMS) software solutions, customer feedback highlights four main benefits:

1. Usability on the Shop Floor – Operators can execute without friction.
2. Connected Data – Quality and manufacturing teams work from a single source of truth.
3. Audit Readiness – Faster inspections and trusted data integrity.
4. Scalability – Systems that grow from a single site to enterprise-wide operations.

These translate into time savings, reduced risk, higher throughput, and stronger compliance.
