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.

    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.

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

Summary

The story
TrackWise Digital is good for tracking quality events. Sparta introduced TrackWise in 1994 as what it calls the first commercially available quality management software,¹¹ launched TrackWise Digital, formerly 123Compliance, on Salesforce’s App Cloud in 2018,¹² and in 2020 agreed to be sold to Honeywell for $1.3 billion.² Its processes arrive as Quality Process Accelerators, each for one kind of quality record, from nonconformances to complaints.³ Sparta said at launch that its templates could cut deployment “to as little as three weeks”;¹² its conversion guide says the templates cut cost and risk, but that “no customer ever uses a system completely as-is” and advises administrators to prepare for Salesforce’s administrator certification.⁷ Its AI, first launched in 2019 to categorise incoming complaints and quality events,¹³ now summarises quality event records,⁴ and a complaint-processing agent went on sale in October 2026.⁵ If quality events are the whole job and your processes stay close to the accelerators, it can work well. That is rare, and rarer now that the work changes so fast.

1What TrackWise Digital offers.

TrackWise Digital is Honeywell’s cloud QMS.⁸ It records and routes quality events, nonconformances and out-of-specification results, deviations, CAPA, audits, change control, complaints, documents and training, supplier quality and quality risk management,⁸ through Quality Process Accelerators that Honeywell describes as “pre-validated quality processes”.³ Honeywell agreed to acquire Sparta in December 2020,² and says it has “integrated the renowned TrackWise and TrackWise Digital offerings of Sparta Systems”.¹⁴ Since Honeywell Aerospace’s spin-off on 29 June 2026, the parent company has operated as Honeywell Technologies.¹⁵

2Classic TrackWise.

TrackWise, which Honeywell also calls TrackWise QMS, is its on-premises QMS. Honeywell offers support to “help maintain and optimize” TrackWise environments and points customers to TrackWise Digital.¹⁶ A team on classic TrackWise faces a migration whichever way it goes. Moving to Seal puts that effort into a system that runs the work, not another system of record.

3Neil does the paperwork beside TrackWise. You sign.

You can keep TrackWise. Seal connects to TrackWise and TrackWise Digital through its REST API and Scripts, scoped to the records the first process needs and starting with read access. On the TrackWise side, Honeywell names Salesforce’s API library as TrackWise Digital’s integration route.⁶

From the records and procedures you bring, Neil, your AI agent, compares the current procedure with a proposed check, shows the source behind each affected record, and drafts the workflow and its verification cases. People confirm the scope, run the verification and decide release. Neil never releases a change on its own, and it is not used in GMP execution.

4Start beside TrackWise.

  1. Pick a process where corrective actions should end in a change to the work, such as line clearance, a hold time or a release test.
  2. Bring the procedure, one representative event and the records it touches. Start with sample material, or arrange an NDA first.
  3. Neil proposes the workflow and your quality team checks it against the work. Once the scope is agreed and the inputs received, Seal prepares the 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 workflow and its failure cases, including a change to a limit or approval route, before you approve release.
  5. As more processes move, agree which records move and which stay retrievable in TrackWise, and reconcile representative records before you rely on the new workflow. Retention obligations continue for what stays.

AQuestions and answers

Is Seal better than TrackWise Digital?

Yes. TrackWise Digital is good for tracking quality events. Sparta introduced TrackWise in 1994 as what it calls the first commercially available quality management software, launched TrackWise Digital, formerly 123Compliance, on Salesforce’s App Cloud in 2018, and in 2020 agreed to be sold to Honeywell for $1.3 billion. Its processes arrive as Quality Process Accelerators, each for one kind of quality record, from nonconformances to complaints. Sparta said at launch that its templates could cut deployment “to as little as three weeks”; its conversion guide says the templates cut cost and risk, but that “no customer ever uses a system completely as-is” and advises administrators to prepare for Salesforce’s administrator certification. Its AI, first launched in 2019 to categorise incoming complaints and quality events, now summarises quality event records, and a complaint-processing agent went on sale in October 2026. If quality events are the whole job and your processes stay close to the accelerators, it can work well. That is rare, and rarer now that the work changes so fast. 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.

Do we have to replace TrackWise?

No. Start with one process in Seal while TrackWise keeps everything else. Seal connects through its REST API and Scripts, starting with read access, and any write-back to TrackWise is a separate decision with its own controls.

We run on-premise TrackWise. Should we move to TrackWise Digital or to Seal?

Either way is a migration. Moving to Seal puts that effort into a system that runs laboratory, manufacturing and quality work on one set of records, rather than another system of record.

What is the difference between TrackWise and TrackWise Digital?

Both are Honeywell quality management systems that came from Sparta Systems. Sparta introduced TrackWise in 1994, and Honeywell describes it as on-premises QMS software. Sparta launched TrackWise Digital in 2018 as a cloud QMS built on the Salesforce platform.

Does Honeywell sell manufacturing execution with TrackWise?

Yes, as a separate product. Honeywell announced TrackWise Manufacturing in April 2025, powered by Honeywell Aptica and integrated with the TrackWise Quality suite. In Seal, batch records, laboratory testing and quality run on one platform and one set of records.

How does TrackWise Digital’s AI compare with Neil?

TrackWise AI generates summaries from quality event records and suggests a complaint’s type, reportability and severity, and Honeywell says every AI-assisted record requires human approval. Neil prepares changes to the process itself, with their verification, for your team to approve. Neil is not used in GMP 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 to evaluate within 48 hours, configured from one of your procedures. Production timing then depends on scope, interfaces, migration and your release requirements.

Start beside TrackWise Digital.

Keep TrackWise. Seal’s REST API and Scripts read the records the first process needs, so Neil and your team can work from them, and nothing has to move on day one.
