Focus on

Compliance

QAD helps life sciences manufacturers reduce the risk of non-compliance.

In particular, QAD Cloud ERP Life Sciences Edition is available on an FDA “Qualified” IT infrastructure that is managed with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that meet regulatory requirements for computer systems and software as specified in the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 and the EU’s EudraLex Volume 4 Annex 11. QAD helps reduce the time to validation and cGMP compliance risk.

Focus on

Quality

QAD integrates quality into core life sciences manufacturing processes through QAD QMS, our quality management software. Manufacturers can leverage simple quality management automation and quality control functionality such as item data attributes for quality control as well as integrate a complete Enterprise Quality Management System (EQMS) into their supply chain planning and execution. QAD traceability and serialization functionality helps companies comply with regulations for UDI and DQSA and Lot Trace Workbench allows companies to conduct effective product recalls and perform required recall effectiveness reporting to regulatory authorities.

With QAD Cloud ERP Life Sciences Edition, organizations can adapt quality-related processes to their unique requirements by defining quality inspections, tests or other verification activities. The system also has the ability to plan preventive maintenance and calibrations on inspection, measuring and test equipment.

The Cloud and on Premise Use, Available as Subscription or Capital Investment

While cloud may be preferred among large multinational companies, on-premise may be better choice for smaller companies - mostly because it enables more flexibility at implementations. Both cloud and on premise are available for subscription; on premise is also available as capital investment.

ERP as a Service has two major advantages:

• No need to make Capital Investment.
• We take care for your Information Technology, and you take care for your Products - everybody doing what knows the best.
