cGMP · Good Manufacturing Practice

GMP software that keeps people, documents and equipment status in view.

Operators see the current SOP, their training status and equipment status at the station, and records are signed as work happens.

Start free trial Talk to us
  • Trained-on-Current-SOP Gate

    Every kiosk step checks: is this operator current on this revision?

  • Equipment Qualification Linked to Use

    Balances, mixers, sensors — calibration and qualification status visible at the kiosk.

  • Contemporaneous e-Signatures

    Sub-2-second biometric or PIN signature at the step.

What goes wrong today3 common problems
  • Training records and SOPs are out of sync

    The SOP changed. The training didn't. Operators run yesterday's procedure with no system to stop them.

  • Equipment Qualification Status Isn't Visible at the Line

    Out-of-cal balance, overdue PM, expired validation — the operator only finds out when QA rejects the batch.

  • Records Get Back-Filled After the Shift

    If the signature isn't contemporaneous, it isn't GMP. End-of-shift catch-up is an inspection finding.

Everything V5 does here4 capabilities
  • Trained-on-Current-SOP Gate

    Every kiosk step checks: is this operator current on this revision? If not, the step is blocked.

  • Equipment Qualification Linked to Use

    Balances, mixers, sensors — calibration and qualification status visible at the kiosk. Out-of-cal equipment cannot be used for GMP work.

  • Contemporaneous e-Signatures

    Sub-2-second biometric or PIN signature at the step. Back-fill is structurally impossible — no late entries, no shift-end catch-up.

  • Controlled documents, controlled changes

    Document control with effectivity dating, training reassignment on revision, and read-and-understood gating — all in one chain.

How it works, step by step6 steps

GMP enforcement across one shift on V5.

  1. Operator clock-in validates training. Operators scan in; the kiosk validates training currency for their assigned steps. Non-current operators are diverted to LMS before the floor.
  2. Equipment and Cleaning Checked. Line cannot start without qualified equipment, current calibration, and signed cleaning verification. Each is a hard gate.
  3. Steps Execute Against Current SOP. Each step serves the current SOP revision. Out-of-tolerance values open a deviation in place; downstream steps refuse until disposition.
  4. Cleaning Gated. Product change requires signed cleaning verification appropriate to the prior product's risk profile.
  5. Self-built record reviewed by exception. The batch record assembled itself during execution. QA reviews exceptions, signs release, and the record is byte-identical across PDF and electronic export.
  6. Inspector Walks the Live System. The inspector sees the same data the operator did — current, contemporaneous, attributable.
What to look for when choosing

GMP compliance is not a feature set — it's whether the system can refuse the wrong action at the wrong time.

  • Trained-Operator Gating

    Does the kiosk refuse to advance when the operator is not current on the SOP for this step? Operator scan + step look up current training. Non-current operators cannot start the step.

  • Current-SOP Enforcement

    Does the system serve the operator the current SOP revision — and lock out superseded revisions? SOPs are versioned in V5. Superseded revisions are inaccessible from the kiosk.

  • Qualified-Equipment Check

    Equipment qualification and calibration status read at line start. Lapsed equipment cannot host a GMP run.

  • Cleaning Verification Gated Changeover

    Does the system gate product changeover on signed cleaning verification? Changeover refuses without signed cleaning verification per SOP.

  • Deviation at the Source

    Can the operator open a deviation, pre-linked to lot/step/equipment? Deviation opens with one tap at the kiosk, pre-linked to context.

  • Annex 1 / Cleanroom Controls

    Does the system govern gowning, behaviour and material entry for aseptic and Grade-classified areas? Gowning qualification, area entry, EM, and material transfer are V5-managed for Grade A/B/C/D operations.

  • Self-Building Production Record

    Does the GMP record assemble itself from execution data — or does QA reassemble it after the fact? The eBR / eDHR / batch record is the execution stream itself, signed at the moments it occurred.

  • PIC/S / WHO / EU GMP equivalence

    Does the same control set satisfy U.S. cGMP, EU GMP, PIC/S, and WHO TRS? One architecture, one control set, multi-regulator output.

The cGMP clauses that anchor most inspections.

  • 21 CFR 211.25(a)

    The kiosk validates training currency at the step. Lapsed training prevents the step from advancing.

  • 21 CFR 211.100(b)

    The current SOP drives the step; execution writes the record contemporaneously.

  • 21 CFR 211.67(a)

    Cleaning verification is gated. Changeover and start-up refuse without signed verification per SOP and material risk.

  • EU GMP Annex 1 (2022) §2.5

    V5 hosts the CCS as live data: gowning qualification, EM, gradient controls, material transfer, all tied to area class.

  • EU GMP Annex 11 §5

    Inter-system data exchange uses signed, validated interfaces with checks at both ends and an audit trail of every payload.

  • ICH Q9(R1) §V

    Risk artifacts (FMEA, hazard analysis, control strategy) are structured data in V5 and link directly to the controls they justify.

Common questions4 answers
What is GMP compliance software?
It enforces the conditions cGMP demands — trained operators, current SOPs, qualified equipment, approved materials, contemporaneous signed records — at the point of execution, not after the fact. Configured checks can stop a step until the required conditions are recorded; people still decide deviations and release.
How does V5 keep training in sync with SOP revisions?
When a controlled document is revised, V5 reassigns the affected training records and locks the relevant kiosk steps for operators who haven't re-trained. The skills matrix is the live gate, not a quarterly review.
Does V5 cover both pharma and food cGMP?
Yes. 21 CFR 210/211 (pharma), 21 CFR 117 (food), 21 CFR 820 (devices), EU GMP Parts I & II, and ICH Q7 (APIs) are all supported by the same underlying execution model.
Can V5 produce evidence for an FDA inspection?
Yes. For any batch, V5 produces the trained-operator record, the SOP revision used, the equipment qualification status, the materials genealogy, and the contemporaneous signed batch record — on demand, during the inspection.
