Laboratory Quality Management Software (QMS)
QMS software manages the quality system around the laboratory: controlled documents, training records, deviations, CAPA, change control and audits.
What a QMS typically manages
- Controlled documents and SOPs with review and approval workflow
- Training records and competency tracking against procedures
- Deviations, nonconformances and complaints
- CAPA with effectiveness checks
- Change control and risk assessment records
- Internal audit programmes and findings
- Supplier and subcontractor qualification records
- Management review inputs and quality metrics
What to evaluate
- Fit to the standard you work to, whether ISO/IEC 17025, GMP, GLP or ISO 13485
- Whether workflows can be configured without vendor involvement
- Electronic signature and audit trail capability
- Integration with LIMS for equipment, method and training links
- Reporting for management review and audits
- Validation documentation and vendor audit support
- Whether a lighter document control tool would be sufficient
