Director of Quality and Regulatory Affairs

So far, we are thrilled and very excited as we learn more with each engagement. We are thinking we will want more and more modules in time to help streamline and automate our processes.

QA Process Manager

The seamless integration between the Documents and Training modules, and the willingness of MasterControl to listen to the users and continue improving the product.

Solutions Architect

It has really helped us solve many issues with quality control and compliance. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to move to the top tier of quality for their product.

Quality Assurance Associate

It is a great, user friendly and easy to use software. Having different modules really helps in using a single platform for all the GMP requirements.

Senior QA Manager, Doc Control and Training

I like the ease of use and I’m excited about what’s on the horizon with AQEM.

I like the seamless integration between the Documents and Training modules.

SVP Scientific Affairs

MasterControl provides the means to apply industry best-practices, and excellent control and compliance, with intuitive, out-of-the box solutions.

QA Manager, Doc Control and GxP Training

The product is easy to use. The options to pick what you need to s great.

QA Mamager

It is great to have a one stop shop for all my quality needs- Complain Management, Change Control, Quality Events and more can easily be integrated together.

IT Analyst

Because of this struggle I have been creating reports in Power BI.

Senior Quality Assurance Associate

During manufacture the ability to force steps to be filled in by an operator before moving on is huge. Reviews are so much quicker than before and we have beat many targets due to this.

Training Specialist

When the system gets upgraded, it always brings out a ton of unexpected issues. We know that we will have to dedicate a couple of days just to watching for problems.

Training Compliance Specialist

MasterControl is a great investment for mid-sized companies in the pharmaceutical industry. It allows us to maintain compliance via the pre-validated software.

QA Platforms Team Coordinator

Always a good cooperation with both management and support teams.

L&D Manager

Overall experience is good. Their customer service is definitely top-notch.

This software is a complete solution with more modules you can add being built all the time. It is cloud based and does more than any in house solution could be built to do for the same price.

Lead - Records and Document Management

A complete training compliance report is missing. We need to look 2 - 3 canned reports to get consolidated report.

Document Control/Training Mgr

It is hard to say as our system was set up incorrectly when I started here and it has been a journey to get on the right track.

Sr. Director of Quality

Exceptional customer service, excellent "hands on" training, and they are willing to help my team integrate other applications with SimplerQMS. They have been true partners in implementing SimplerQMS.

Head of Hardware and Software Development

Very good quality to money ratio. We are very happy with the selection of SimplerQMS as our eQMS tool.

QA/RA Manager

The migration from an old paper-based system to a digital system is a great advantage in itself.

Spending most of my day using SimplerQMS, I would say I am very pleased with the ease of use.

Quality Manager

Sometimes short connection problems prevent use of the system. System is relatively new on the market and has included some bugs.

Head of Regulatory & Quality Affairs

A functionality for the documentation of classroom trainings is currently missing.

QA & RA Manager

The possiblity for the user him/her-self to re-open recorded issues, e.g., Complaints, CAPAs, NCs and locked meta data for modification. The modification must be with traceability.

The user interface could be more intuitive, but the risk could be that experienced users would find it irritating.

You need to learn the workflow and how to use the meta data, which requires practice a few times, and when that is learned, then it is easy to work with.

Everybody now knows where to find the information they need. Our Notified Body required us to use a digital system, and transferring documents to them is much easier.

SimplerQMS screenshot: SimplerQMS Document Control Management features enforce the use of standardized and approved forms which are created by Microsoft Office. This allows users to easily draft new documents like instructions, CAPAs, and others, based on your customized forms.

SimplerQMS screenshot: SimplerQMS provides Electronic Signatures that are compliant with the FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and the GxP Guidelines. SimplerQMS allows users to sign and send any document with eSignatures through an automated workflow from practically anywhere in the world.

SimplerQMS screenshot: SimplerQMS provides built-in dashboards to overview any post-market event by product, process, customer, equipment, supplier, or other data points. Automated KPI reports allow users to view trends and address areas of concern before they become a reality.

SimplerQMS screenshot: With SimplerQMS you can maintain a list of approved suppliers and use forms to create records like contracts, surveys, evaluations, certificates, and inspections. Schedule reoccurring supplier reviews and receive notifications about pending tasks.

SimplerQMS screenshot: In SimplerQMS you can get a real-time overview of your organization’s training activities. Our dashboard can, for example, show activities by process, department, person, or document.
