An eQMS is a critical business tool that needs to be picked properly.
But there are so many providers out there. Careful research and comparison are vital - so we've given you everything you need to stack up Qualio, the leading eQMS for growing life science companies, against our competitors.
Get to market? Achieve a quality standard? Build a quality culture? Set clear goals.
Does it meet my industry needs?
Life science is a highly specialized, regulated industry. Select an eQMS with purpose-built features and functionality.
Does it meet my size/scaling needs?
If you're a start-up or scale-up, today's quality needs will be very different to next year's. Look for systems suitable for the long haul.
How configurable and flexible is it?
Too little flexibility? A rigid straitjacket that impedes growth. Too much? Complex validation demands, steep learning curves and dampened engagement.
What should I budget?
From monster enterprise systems to scrappy start-ups, the eQMS market offers a wide spread of prices. Home in on platforms built for your wallet.
How long will it take to get up and running?
Who wants multi-year implementations? But many companies fall into them without proper planning. Look for systems that let you hit the ground running. There's no time to waste!
Will it support my compliance needs?
Quality and compliance are difficult enough. Find a platform that automates and simplifies your compliance demands, so compliance becomes natural and automatic.
Are onboarding services included?
They usually are, but some eQMS providers charge extra for this critical service. Don't get caught out.
What's the support like?
An eQMS vendor that commits to a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with you beats a simple system handover every time. Look to customer reviews for insights.
Will my quality data be secure?
Data integrity and information security are a vital part of modern business - especially for life science companies. Ensure you ask vendors about their data management activities if you opt for a cloud system.
Will it help us go paperless?
42% of life science companies still use paper to manage quality. That's 42% too many! The benefits of ditching paper are dramatic - so look for an eQMS dedicated to helping you hit this goal.
Is it easy to use?
Ease of use = more engagement, more stuff getting done, and a stronger quality culture. Put UX and simplicity at the forefront of your search.
