Matrix One announced on 6 January 2026 that it had acquired Simploud, "a cloud-based provider of Quality Management System (QMS) and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) software".[^pr] Matrix One's own FAQ says "Simploud Ltd was acquired by Matrix One in December 2025".[^quality]

Matrix One is the brand under which Matrix Requirements GmbH and Galen Data operate.[^legal] Its site now lists "Matrix Quality (formerly Simploud)" next to "Matrix Req (formerly Matrix Requirements)".[^home] The press release had announced the name Matrix QMS; the product page now uses Matrix Quality.[^pr][^quality] Matrix Quality is built on Salesforce.[^quality]

Simploud's cost calculator, now for Matrix Quality, lists a full user at $90 a month, with a minimum annual deal of $10,000.[^calc] The billing page says implementation, migration, validation and training are included in the subscription.[^billing]

## What it means for buyers

Our [Matrix Requirements review](/reviews/matrix-requirements/) scores Matrix Req and Matrix Quality together, because a full QMS takes both products, at about $21.8k a year for a 10-person device team at published prices.
