Why V5?

The work creates the evidence.

Warehouse, production and quality record what happens as people do the work. AI helps people understand those records. People keep the decisions.

The difference

What makes V5 different

Five reasons manufacturers shortlist V5 over spreadsheets, paper and patched-together systems.

The V5 difference

One system, not three

Warehouse, production and quality run on the same records. A lot scanned at goods-in is the same lot on the work order, the check and the shipment — nothing re-keyed, nothing reconciled later.

Day to day

What changes day to day

Before and after, in the work your team already does.

Before → with V5

Less re-keying

Before: lot numbers written on a traveller, then typed into a spreadsheet. With V5: the scan records the lot once, and every later step uses it.

Start where you need it

One area at a time — the records join up.

Lots and locations feed straight into production and trace.

AI in V5

AI assists. People decide.

AI helps people read records and draft next steps. It does not sign, approve or release.

A worked example

An issue appears

A check result on a work order falls outside its limit, and a deviation is opened against the linked record.

Limit checks and step order are configured rules, not AI. AI output needs human review, and AI is not used to release product. AI forecasting and anomaly detection are not available yet.

Deployment

Fit your operation

Three ways to run V5 — pick by how much control your operation needs.

  • Express & Professional

    Shared cloud

    Hosted by us with ongoing managed updates. Buy online by card after your trial.

    Not the route for validation-controlled operations that hold a qualified version — that is Enterprise private cloud.

  • For regulated operations
    Enterprise

    Private cloud

    A dedicated instance and database operated by us, with controlled upgrades, IQ/OQ and validation support.

    Under V5's deployment policy, this is the route for heavily regulated operations.

  • Enterprise

    On-premises

    V5 Ultimate running on hardware you own, not hosted by us.

    Scoped separately by quote and order.

This page is about V5 Ultimate. V5 Classic is a separate on-premises product, and a Classic licence does not include V5 Ultimate.

Proof

Evidence behind V5

Independent assessment and trust controls you can check yourself.

Independent 21 CFR Part 11 assessment

Dr R.D. (Bob) McDowall assessed V5 Ultimate 5.10 against 21 CFR Part 11 and 21 CFR 211. The report was approved on 25 September 2026 and concludes that V5's technical controls for Part 11 are compliant.

The assessment covers that version and scope only. It is not a certification, and it does not validate your instance. Your team still validates V5 for its intended use.
