SoftDeCC SQM (Skill & Qualification Management)

What Is SoftDeCC SQM?

SoftDeCC SQM is a skills and qualifications management platform that ties role requirements, employee skills, and certifications into one data and process model. Each role has defined skill and qualification requirements, which the platform uses to assess employees against their assigned roles. When gaps appear, the platform helps manage follow-up training, approvals, and recertifications, while maintaining qualification records for audits. This gives organizations a centralized way to track qualification status, identify gaps, and maintain records of employee competency over time.

What Is SoftDeCC SQM Best For?

SoftDeCC SQM stands out for its target and actual comparison. It checks each employee's current skills and certifications against the requirements of their assigned roles. Each requirement is marked as met, partially met, or not met, and deviations are prioritized by relevance, risk, and role. This suits organizations where an unqualified employee in the wrong role creates safety, quality, or compliance exposure.

SoftDeCC SQM Use Cases

Based on our analysis of SoftDeCC SQM’s capabilities, the platform may suit HR and L&D teams in the following situations:

Manufacturers Rolling Out New Equipment Or Technology

When a plant introduces new equipment or technology, determining which employees have the required skills and qualifications can involve reviewing records across different sources. SoftDeCC SQM can compare role requirements with employees’ current skills and qualifications and identify gaps that require attention. This can support training and qualification planning when organizations introduce new equipment or processes.

Onboarding New Hires Into Defined Roles

New employees in qualification-dependent roles may need to complete specific training or obtain qualifications before taking on certain responsibilities. SoftDeCC SQM allows organizations to define role requirements and associate employees with those requirements, providing a view of which qualifications have been met and where gaps remain. This can give managers a structured way to monitor qualification requirements during onboarding.

HR Teams Planning Employee Skill Development

HR and L&D teams can use skills and qualification data to assess current employee capabilities against defined role requirements. SoftDeCC SQM supports comparisons between target requirements and existing qualifications, helping organizations identify skill and qualification gaps that may require training, development, or recertification. This can provide input for workforce development and qualification planning.

Employees Moving Into Roles With Different Qualification Requirements

Employees moving into new roles may face different skill, certification, or qualification requirements than those attached to their previous positions. SoftDeCC SQM can compare an employee’s existing qualifications against the requirements of the new role to identify gaps. This gives HR and L&D teams a structured way to determine which requirements still need to be met before or during the role transition.

Is SoftDeCC SQM Right For You?

Need to track whether employees meet role-specific qualification requirements across departments and locations? SoftDeCC SQM might be the right fit. It supports multi-site environments, multiple roles per employee, and qualification models that can be adapted to different organizational requirements.
