Requirement by requirement

What GxP compliance software has to do

GxP covers the good practice rules for regulated products. For manufacturers, that means GMP: 21 CFR Part 111 for dietary supplements and 21 CFR Part 211 for finished pharmaceuticals. Software that supports GMP work has to hold up to the same scrutiny as the work itself.

Data integrity you can show an investigator

Reviewers see the records, requirements, and evidence behind each finding instead of a bare conclusion. Missing evidence and unresolved issues stay visible rather than buried in an AI response.

Ovada provides

  • Defined workflows with set triggers, checks, and outputs
  • The requirements and document versions tied to each decision
  • The same checks and review steps on every run
  • An append-only audit trail of every action

Your team owns

  • Approving procedures and specifications
  • Reviewing every finding
  • Every regulated decision
  • Every signature, under Part 11

GMP compliance for supplements and pharmaceuticals

Ovada works with the GMP software you already run, alongside your validated QMS rather than replacing it. See how it compares with traditional QMS software, browse the skills it performs, or review security and validation.

Frequently asked questions about GxP compliance software

01

What is GxP compliance software?

GxP compliance software supports regulated work under good practice rules such as GMP, GLP, and GCP. For manufacturers it typically covers quality procedures, records, investigations, and approvals, with the validation, audit trails, and electronic signatures regulators expect.

02

What is the difference between GxP and GMP?

GxP is the umbrella term for good practice regulations. GMP, good manufacturing practice, is the part that applies to manufacturing, such as 21 CFR Part 111 for dietary supplements and 21 CFR Part 211 for finished pharmaceuticals.

03

Does Ovada replace our QMS?

No. Your validated QMS remains the system of record. Ovada works across it and your other systems to do the evidence-heavy work behind GMP records.

04

How does Ovada support data integrity?

Every finding links to its source records, actions are captured in an append-only audit trail, and regulated decisions are signed by qualified people with 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures.
