Create documents using forms and templates in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and save them in the system with one click. Easily track document status and progress with real-time dashboards and reports.

Simplify Compliance With Regulatory Requirements

Like most life science industries, the pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated, and manufacturers must comply with FDA guidelines, good laboratory practices (GLP), current good manufacturing processes (cGMP), ICH Q10, EU Annex 11, and others. SimplerQMS is designed to help pharmaceutical manufacturers meet these compliance requirements.

With automatic version control and revision control, you can always be sure that only the most current documents are accessible. FDA 21 Part 11 signatures, time-stamped audit trails for all changes to any document, and a centralized, cloud-based repository will help assure compliance as well as provide ready access during audits and inspections.

Efficiently Control Prints Across the Organization

Controlled Printing in SimplerQMS allows users to generate controlled prints of documents, and track, manage, and recall documents that have been printed.

Controlled printouts contain a unique ID, date, creation time, the responsible person, and the printout type in the footer for easy identification of different document copies. Uncontrolled prints have an additional “COPY” overlay at the top of the document.

Recalls are automatically sent out or you can issue a recall of controlled printouts and mark them as destroyed in the system to ensure outdated documents are not used.

Connect Document Management to Other Processes

Disconnected or siloed quality management processes can lead to inefficiencies, compliance risks, and quality issues.

SimplerQMS pharmaceutical document management solution seamlessly interconnects with key quality processes, such as training, suppliers, change control, deviations, CAPA, customer complaints, audits, and more. The software can also be integrated with popular ERP, CRM, PLM, and other systems through an API.

By integrating document management with other quality processes, you can get a complete picture of your pharmaceutical quality system, identify process improvements, and reduce risk.
