Our take
The creation, transportation, and ultimately dispatch of pharmaceutical products can be complex, often using outdated technologies and prone to errors that can be hard to trace. Qualio understood the urgent need for life science businesses to have a fast, error-free, and safe process of products and services from beginning to end, and with this in mind, its cloud-based quality management system for life sciences was created.
Qualio’s system solves the problem of data fragmentation by bringing it all together in the cloud and automating quality checks which are inserted into every step, from the manufacturing processes to the delivery of medication.
Qualio isn’t the first such system on the market. There are other options available such as Greenlight Guru and ETQ Reliance, however, Qualio has been rated by Q2 as the easiest to setup and the easiest to use, a potentially very important factor when you consider the scale of many life science businesses that operate internationally. Qualio has 250 customers and is growing at around 300% per year, the company is using its 2021 funding round to aid this growth by hiring more staff and investing in its software infrastructure.
