CAPAs

CAPAs — Close issues faster, with confidence

Who it’s for?

  • QAs.
  • Approvers.
  • CAPA Owners.
  • Process Owners.

What it solves?

  • Missed due dates.
  • Shallow root causes.
  • CAPAs that never really close.
  • Siloed actions without downstream proof.
  • Unclear ownership.
  • Access for external users based on configured Event status so the complainant is always informed.
  • Complaints that vanish after closure.
  • Approval ping-pong: avoid reject→resubmit loops with a Preliminary Reviewer gate.

Key capabilities

  • Action types (configurable):
    • User-defined action/task (owner, due date, evidence)
    • Make new document version effective (links to Document Control)
    • Assign training & require completion (links to Training)
  • Closure dependencies on actions — define prerequisites, sequence, and required evidence; closure is gated until dependencies are met
  • Audit-trail diffs & filters by user/date/action
  • No hard deletion: soft-delete & restore; restorations fully logged
  • Configurable labels/roles (statuses, investigator/QA/approver)
  • External portal access gated by status (read-only updates for complainants or other external stakeholders)
  • Versioning with review/approval workflows and e-sign (meaning/intent)
  • Your terminology, our controls: configurable status & role names.
  • Effectiveness checks with success criteria & time windows

Compliance

  • Approvals with meaning.
  • Trails across linked records.
  • No hard deletion of records and on demand restoration of deleted records.
  • Strong audit trails.

Audit ease

  • Time-stamped, immutable audit trails with a clean, side-by-side diff so you can compare any two versions and see who changed what, when, and why.
  • Side-by-side version compare.
  • Chronology timeline + field-level diffs; jump to linked Quality Event/Controlled Change/Documents.
  • Inspection Pack (timeline, investigation summary, actions, dependencies, effectiveness) + notification log and diffs.
