Audit readiness

When an auditor asks, the records are already linked.

Records are linked as the work happens, so you follow a lot instead of building a binder.

7-day free trial, no card required. Every plan has lot records and the audit log. Signatures, documents, training, deviations and regulated reports are Professional and Enterprise.

  • Linked as you work.

    Batch records, signatures, training, deviations and document revisions connect to the lot they concern.

  • Follow the links.

    Open a lot and move to the records behind it, rather than searching folders.

  • Honest history.

    The audit log shows who did what and when; your procedures decide what is ready to show.

Follow one auditor's question

During an inspection the auditor picks lot FG-5502 and asks to see how it was made, who did it and what went wrong. Four stages.

Readiness is a by-product of linked records

The same records that run production, quality and training answer the auditor's questions, so there is less to assemble at the last minute.

Availability to confirm: the capability exists in V5, but which plans include it, and whether it is enabled for you, is not yet confirmed — ask us. V5 keeps audit history, controlled documents, signatures and validation evidence. It is not by itself certification or a validated state.
