Quality AssuranceAudit Management Software

Coordinate internal, supplier, and regulatory audits seamlessly. Manage audit plans, checklists, findings, non-conformances, and CAPA resolution in a validated platform.

Overview

Ensure Compliance, Drive Continuous Quality Auditing

Regulatory audits by FDA, EMA, or ISO registrars can be stressful for life sciences organizations. Preparing for audits often involves sorting through binders of paper records, hunting down signatures, and manual tracking of corrective action status. An unorganized audit process can lead to serious observations, warning letters, or system validation challenges.

NextGen Audit Management Software automates the entire audit process. From initial risk-based audit planning to checklist execution, observation tracking, and CAPA resolution, the software provides a centralized environment. Enforce standard checklists, log non-conformances (NC) on-site, upload evidence, and generate audit-ready compliance scores.
Internal & External Audits

Track self-inspections, supplier quality evaluations, and official health authority inspections in a single framework.

Audit Planning & Calendars

Construct yearly audit schedules, define audit scopes, select auditors, and assign tasks with automated notifications.

Non-Conformance (NC) Registry

Log quality findings on-site. Track severity, descriptions, containment actions, and evidence files.

Closed-Loop CAPA

Directly link audit observations to corrective actions. Automatically track CAPA progress through closure.

Technical Capabilities

Key Product Features

Explore the rich feature-set built to satisfy GxP validation requirements and maximize quality assurance.

Risk-Based Audit Planner

Schedule recurring audits based on site risk metrics, vendor categories, or regulatory requirements. Manage audit calendars and coordinators.

Audit Checklist Builder

Construct checklists mapped to regulatory clauses (GMP, GLP, ISO 9001, ISO 13485). Auditors can score checklists directly on tablets.

Observations & NC Log

Log findings instantly, rate severity (Critical, Major, Minor), assign corrective action owners, and attach evidence (images, logs).

Audit Team Coordinator

Assign lead auditors, define audit groups, set timelines, and track auditor availability across site divisions.

Interactive Audit Reports

Generate comprehensive audit reports, observation summary tables, compliance scores, and executive summaries with electronic sign-offs.

Audit Compliance Dashboard

Monitor audit completion rates, open NC metrics, average resolution times, and compliance score trends by site or department.

System Workflow

How it Works

Our software enforces a strict, step-by-step compliant process, guiding assets or audits from draft onboarding to final validation.

1
Audit Planning & Scope Definition

Create the audit entry, set dates, assign the lead auditor, define the GxP scope, and select the checklist template.

2
Notification & Confirmation

System alerts target departments or vendors of the audit date, scope, agenda, and request preliminary documentation.

3
Audit Execution & Checklists

Auditors perform evaluations, filling out checklist questions and uploading notes directly in the software.

4
Observations & NC Registration

Record any findings, categorize severity, log raw observations, and attach supporting evidence records.

5
Audit Report Generation

The software aggregates checklist scores and observations, formatting the draft report for review and approval.

6
E-Signature Report Approval

The audit report is signed by the lead auditor and QA manager using double-factor electronic signatures.

7
CAPA Tracking & Verification

Department heads are assigned NCs, define corrective action plans, submit resolution evidence, and QA closes the audit.

Interconnected Ecosystem

NextGen QMS Integration

This module operates independently but integrates natively with other QMS processes to ensure closed-loop compliance and automatic record updates.

Document Control

Supplier quality agreements, standard operating procedures, and specifications are retrieved and checked during audits.

Training LMS

Audit team credentials and department training logs are instantly verified by pulling training records from the LMS.

Deviation & CAPA QMS

Audit findings automatically trigger CAPA tasks, ensuring a closed-loop resolution pathway.

Business Value

Key Benefits
