Frequently Asked Questions on EQMS for Life Sciences

What are the benefits of using EQMS software for my organisation?

EQMS software helps companies move faster while remaining compliant. The digital nature of the system makes it easier to make changes and ensure those changes are effective in the entire company. EQMS software also gives you access to your data in ways that manual systems can’t. This helps you spot potential problems and take preventive actions.

What features does EQMS software typically offer?

EQMS software should connect every area of quality so you can seamlessly exchange data between quality processes. Ideally, document updates should trigger training for those who need it and form-to-form launching should allow you to escalate a quality event to a CAPA without reentering information.

Can EQMS software be customized to meet the specific needs of my organisation?

Custom code makes it difficult to update your EQMS software and get the latest benefits. Configuration lets you ensure the EQMS system meets the unique needs of your organisation. How well the system can be configured to meet your needs depends largely on which vendor you choose.

How does EQMS software integrate with other systems used in my organisation?

Integrations options for an EQMS vary depending on your vendor. An integration-platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) provider may partner with your EQMS vendor to simplify integrations. You may be able to get around integration in the traditional sense if your EQMS vendor provides other types of software, such as a manufacturing execution system (MES).

EQMS Software Benefits

Quality and compliance are high priorities in every life sciences organisation. You can accomplish both with an EQMS that automates and streamlines quality processes.

Reduce data entry problems.

Using multiple systems that require the same data is a recipe for data entry errors. When employees only have to input data once, you can reduce or eliminate these issues.
Be prepared for quality audits.

Managing quality audit is difficult when you have to track down physical paperwork and manually confirm that a document is the most recent version. An EQMS holds all documentation and limits access to the up-to-date version.
All quality data in one place.

When your quality data is scattered across multiple systems or kept on individual computers, getting a big picture of what’s going on is difficult. An EQMS puts all that data in one location.
Online collaboration and approval.

An EQMS connects everyone virtually so you can easily collaborate on a document and get it approved without having to chase people down for a physical signature.
Instant analytics and reporting.

Compiling data manually takes time and introduces human error. EQMS software includes analytics that pull near-real-time data that you can access at any time.
