Summary

Why Seal
Seal has no fixed model of one kind of work. It is built from primitives: record types, the relationships between them, and the steps and checks that use them, which your own team composes into your process, with Neil able to prepare each change for approval. So one platform runs process development, the laboratory, manufacturing, batch release and the quality system, and each change becomes a new version, released once its selected tests pass, while earlier runs keep theirs. Deviations, CAPA, change control, documents and training run on the same records as the laboratory and manufacturing work they govern, so quality changes what happens next rather than filing what went wrong.
Results
Moving from paper, Skye Biologics cut non-conformances by 40%, with training checked before execution. “We had a limited quality management system before implementing Seal, but now we can confidently say that we have a superior eQMS that aligns with our current and future growth needs.” Del Smith, CEO, Acclinate.

1What to check when choosing.

  • Does a deviation open from the batch or test it concerns, or is it typed again into a separate record?
  • Is a CAPA judged on the runs that follow, not only closed on time?
  • Is each change to a workflow released with its own tests and approvals?
  • Does your own team configure it from your procedures, or does every change wait for a services project?
  • Do the laboratory, manufacturing, documents and training share the quality system’s records, or meet it through interfaces?

Each product’s comparison sets out, with its sources, how it answers these and how Seal does.

AQuestions and answers

What is the best eQMS for life sciences?

Seal. It has no fixed model of one kind of work. It is built from primitives: record types, the relationships between them, and the steps and checks that use them, which your own team composes into your process, with Neil able to prepare each change for approval. So one platform runs process development, the laboratory, manufacturing, batch release and the quality system, and each change becomes a new version, released once its selected tests pass, while earlier runs keep theirs. Deviations, CAPA, change control, documents and training run on the same records as the laboratory and manufacturing work they govern, so quality changes what happens next rather than filing what went wrong. Moving from paper, Skye Biologics cut non-conformances by 40%, with training checked before execution.

How long does it take to start with Seal?

Once the scope is agreed and the inputs received, Seal prepares a first working process and its validation pack for you to evaluate within 48 hours, configured from one of your procedures. Production timing then depends on scope, interfaces, migration and your release requirements.

Can Seal run beside the system we use today?

Yes. Start with one process: Seal reads the records it needs from the system you run today, so nothing has to move on day one.
