Challenge & Solution

Manual logging creates compliance gaps and resource drain

Quality professionals struggle with spreadsheet-based logging that introduces human error into critical compliance records whilst consuming valuable time.

Ideagen's automated documentation audit trail eliminates this burden through pervasive AI that captures every document access, modification and approval in real-time. The system provides comprehensive document history tracking with timestamped entries, user identification and change descriptions that automatically populate compliance reports for ISO 9001 and MHRA requirements—learning from usage patterns to flag potential compliance issues before they become regulatory violations.

Challenge & Solution

Historical version retrieval delays critical quality investigations

When quality issues arise, teams need immediate access to historical documentation for root cause analysis, yet traditional systems make retrieving specific versions time-consuming. Ideagen's historical audit documentation platform provides instant access to any document version through advanced search powered by pervasive AI.

Ideagen Quality Management locates specific iterations based on dates, authors or content changes whilst intelligent indexing organises histories with visual timelines—suggesting relevant historical documents based on current quality events to accelerate problem resolution.
