The need
For this customer in the highly regulated life sciencesit was essential to have reliable, reputable QMS software capable ofeliminating multiple sources of information, eradicating human error, reducing risk and costly delays, and ensuring that employees, customers, partners and regulators all had confidence in the quality management system (QMS).
In addition, the management of audits, inspections as well as the processing of events (non-conformities, customer complaints, deviations, ...), changes (change-control), and action plans (CAPA) mobilized a lot of resources with little result, due to a manual management of the continuous improvement loop carried out for the most part via Excel files and emailing
After evaluating several software packages, this pharmaceutical laboratory finally chose QMS Quality Manager Life Science software from Avanteam, which perfectly met their specifications (URS), both in terms of functional coverage, and its ability to meet regulatory(GxP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO) and IT security(ISO 27001, RGPD) requirements.
Today, over 1,200 users in 6 European countries rely on Quality Manager - Avanteam's Pharma & Cosmetics quality software - to manage document life cycles, process non-conformities, deviations, complaints, change-control, manage audits, training and authorizations, prevent risks, monitor action plans, and steer process performance.
