Protect Documents From Unauthorized Access

SimplerQMS offers a hierarchy of control over documents, so only specific employees can access certain files.

Set access levels to specific sites, projects, document types, such as SOPs, Meeting Minutes, and Work Instruction, and more. Determine the author, reviewer, and approver access to a document. Even select entire departments to read and learn the file once it is released.

Assign a specific person as an approver when creating a new document, such as a CAPA or SOP, to ensure that only that person can release the document, not someone else.

Simplify Review and Approval Processes

Using paper-based and hybrid systems can cause a delay in releasing documents. The order of priority can be confusing, and documents can even be forgotten entirely.

SimplerQMS software help streamline the process of reviewing and approving documents.

Set workflows and use email notifications to keep all team members aware of tasks and assignments regarding specific documents.
