See what is open on a lot, then a person decides.
The review starts from exceptions: open deviations, holds, missing sign-offs and results. A person signs release or hold.
7-day free trial, no card required. Every plan has a QA release queue. Signed decisions and linked deviations need Professional or Enterprise.

Start from what is open.
Open deviations, holds, missing sign-offs and pending results are gathered for the reviewer.
A signed decision with a reason.
Release or hold is recorded by a person, with the reason and signature on the lot.
The warehouse sees the outcome.
The lot's status follows the decision, so held stock is clear to everyone.

Release built on records that already exist
The review uses the batch record, deviations, CAPAs and lab results already in V5, so nothing is gathered by hand at the end.

Straight answers.
What buyers ask us first about Quality & Laboratory.
Does V5 release product automatically?
No. V5 gathers results and records for review, but a person in quality decides and signs the release.
What does the lab side cover?
Lab and QC covers sampling, instruments, methods, results and out-of-spec handling, with LIMS, lab notebook, stability and SPC on top. These are Enterprise features; see Compare details on the pricing page.
Can we use V5 in a validated environment?
For validation-controlled operations, V5's route is Enterprise private cloud with controlled upgrades and IQ/OQ support. Your team still validates V5 for its intended use.
