Real Seal screens with fictional test data: one late transfer, from the batch record to the fix, then Neil’s overnight release review.

  1. 1

    Each value at the step it belongs to.

    Batch B-041’s readings are recorded as the work happens, with its sample and its deviation linked to the record.

    Batch record B-041, post-mix hold and transfer, in Seal: the instruction to transfer within 45 minutes of completing the mix, process readings at 10:12, 10:42 and 11:04 with temperature and pH, and the linked lab sample IPC-041 and investigation DEV-018.
    1. The step’s limitTransfer within 45 minutes of completing the mix.
    2. Recorded as it happensMix complete at 10:12, transfer at 11:04: 52 minutes.
    3. The deviation, linkedDEV-018 sits on the batch record it concerns.
  2. 2

    The deviation starts with its evidence.

    DEV-018 has the batch, its readings and the sample linked, so the investigation starts from the facts.

    Deviation DEV-018, extended post-mix hold, in Seal: the affected batch B-041, the transfer 52 minutes after mixing against a permitted 45, and a table of evidence from the process readings, temperature readings and sample IPC-041.
    1. The batchB-041, the batch the deviation concerns.
    2. What happened52 minutes, against a permitted 45.
    3. The evidenceReadings and the sample, from the same records.
  3. 3

    The fix is a change to the workflow.

    CC-019 makes the record calculate the hold and route anything over 45 minutes. It is verified before release, and the next batch runs the new version.

    Change CC-019, elapsed-time check, in Seal: DEV-018 as the reason, the affected procedure MBR-014, a table of current and proposed workflow behaviour, a verification plan at 44, 45 and 46 minutes and a missing start time, and a release review for authorised people.

    Neil checks every lot. People decide.

    Overnight, Neil checked each lot against its release plan and said what its record leaves out.

    The release board in Seal: 111 lots in release across three sites, $123M waiting, 86 with nothing open, and a table of the lots with findings, each with Neil’s summary, its value and a predicted certification date.

Summary

The story
Intellect is good for manufacturers digitising quality and safety paperwork.² It was founded in 2000 in Los Angeles and, until 2015, was Interneer, a business process management vendor whose platform let non-programmers build apps from forms, data and workflow; its QMS is built on that foundation.³⁹ Intellect says its workflows change by drag and drop, with no code and no IT department,⁴ yet it also sells design training for the quality team that configures it, professional services at $300 an hour, less for larger blocks, and validation priced by scope.⁵⁶ Intellect AI, launched in 2023 with chat and document review, now answers frontline questions from approved SOPs and suggests next steps in investigations.¹⁰¹ If quality can sit beside the laboratory as its own forms and approvals, it can work well. That is rare once a deviation has to be read with its batch and its test.

1What Intellect QMS offers.

Intellect sells the Intellect IQ Platform, which puts a QMS, environmental health and safety, and frontline operations on one configurable platform with an AI layer, for manufacturers and life sciences businesses.¹ Its QMS is built on a business process management foundation.³ The core offering is the platform with five applications, Data IQ, a BI connector and Search IQ, to which customers add industry packages and add-on apps.⁴ Intellect says it has built dozens of apps for customers to customise, from document control, training, NCR and CAPA to batch records, device history records and calibration, and that its drag-and-drop designer changes the steps, actions and approvals of a nonconformance or CAPA without code.⁴ Published plans start at $26k for the core tier.⁵ Intellect AI launched in September 2023 with chat and document review, and Intellect said then that its roadmap included AI to assist designers with configuration changes.¹⁰

2Running Seal alongside Intellect.

Teams usually move to Seal one process at a time. Seal has no dedicated Intellect connector, so the route is Seal’s REST API and Scripts, which connect systems that are not on Seal’s integrations list; Seal can review the interfaces with you. On its side, Intellect offers SOAP and REST APIs and supports bidirectional integration with third-party systems.⁸

Through Seal’s API an outside application can read and write Seal records once credentials, direction and failure handling are agreed; a Script, written in Python and versioned in Seal, can react to an event or run on a schedule, and is changed and tested like any other configuration. Agree what each system owns before mapping anything: incoming material nonconformances and MRB review can run in Seal from day one, reading the controlled documents a review cites, while documents and training follow. Start with read access and add write-back only as a separate decision. Qualify the connection as you would any GxP interface, as the regulatory guide describes.

3Moving from Intellect to Seal.

Start with one material, so nothing else has to move on day one.

  1. Choose a material with a recent marginal result and a history of concessions.
  2. Bring the specification, the receipts, the earlier NCMRs and their dispositions, and your nonconformance procedure. Sample material is fine to start; arrange an NDA before sharing confidential records.
  3. Neil proposes the nonconformance and MRB workflow from the procedure, with the hold, the disposition paths and the recurrence threshold. Once the scope is agreed and the inputs received, Seal prepares that first working process and its validation pack to evaluate within 48 hours. Production timing then depends on scope, interfaces, migration and your release requirements.
  4. Exercise the cases that matter: a hold that must block issue, a concession that crosses the threshold, and a result later found invalid.
  5. Agree which records move and which stay retrievable in Intellect. Within that scope, relationships, attachments, versions and available audit context are preserved, and representative records are reconciled before you rely on the new workflow.

Retention obligations continue for the records that stay in Intellect. The nonconformance and QMS blueprints show the workflows in detail.

AQuestions and answers

Is Seal better than Intellect QMS?

Yes. Intellect is good for manufacturers digitising quality and safety paperwork. It was founded in 2000 in Los Angeles and, until 2015, was Interneer, a business process management vendor whose platform let non-programmers build apps from forms, data and workflow; its QMS is built on that foundation. Intellect says its workflows change by drag and drop, with no code and no IT department, yet it also sells design training for the quality team that configures it, professional services at $300 an hour, less for larger blocks, and validation priced by scope. Intellect AI, launched in 2023 with chat and document review, now answers frontline questions from approved SOPs and suggests next steps in investigations. If quality can sit beside the laboratory as its own forms and approvals, it can work well. That is rare once a deviation has to be read with its batch and its test. 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. Moving from paper, Skye Biologics cut non-conformances by 40%, with training checked before execution.

Is Seal an alternative to Intellect QMS?

Yes. Seal covers the quality processes Intellect offers, including nonconformance, CAPA, deviations, complaints, change control, documents, training and audits, and runs them on the same platform as your laboratory results, inventory and batch records. Neil configures them from your procedures for your team to approve, a nonconformance links to the lot, its stock and the batches that used it, and a hold can block issue of the material.

Is Seal a LIMS as well as a QMS?

Yes. Seal runs LIMS, ELN, inventory and batch records on the same platform as its QMS, on linked records in which a sample belongs to a batch and a result comes from a test. Bioventix moved its ISO 13485 QMS and its laboratory records onto Seal together.

Can Seal work alongside Intellect?

Yes. Seal has no dedicated Intellect connector, but Intellect offers SOAP and REST APIs, and Seal’s REST API and Scripts can connect the two, starting with read access. Teams can move one material or quality process to Seal first and bring the rest across over time.

Can quality teams change their own workflows in Seal?

Yes, and each change carries its own evidence. In Seal, a workflow change carries its reason, proposed configuration and verification; the selected acceptance tests run when it is prepared for review, and it cannot be published without current passing results. Intellect’s apps are modified in a drag-and-drop designer.

Does Intellect have a LIMS or inventory?

Not in its app list. Intellect’s prebuilt apps include batch records, device history records, calibration and proficiency testing, but its list names no LIMS, notebook, stability or inventory app, and its page for laboratories offers deviations, CAPA, documents, training, audit readiness and chain of custody for samples and test results. In Seal, LIMS, ELN and inventory run on the same records as the quality system, so a nonconformance links to the lot, its stock, its laboratory results and the batches that used it.

How does Intellect AI compare with Neil?

Intellect AI launched in 2023 with chat and document review. Intellect says it now analyses quality, EHS and operational information, answers frontline questions from approved SOPs and suggests next steps in investigations, with people making the decisions. Neil prepares changes to the process itself: it configures the workflow from your procedure and drafts each change with its verification cases, and your team approves and releases it. In line with the EU’s draft GMP Annex 22 on AI, Neil is not used in GMP execution.

How long does it take to start with Seal?

For one material’s nonconformance and MRB workflow, Seal prepares a first working process, configured from your procedure, and its validation pack to evaluate within 48 hours of agreeing the scope and receiving the inputs. Production timing then depends on scope, interfaces, migration and your release requirements.

Start beside Intellect QMS.

Start with one material’s nonconformance and MRB review. Seal’s REST API and Scripts can read from Intellect’s SOAP and REST APIs, so nothing has to move on day one.
