Bring Your Manufacturing Documentation Under Control. Securely, on Dynamics 365.

Paper records, shared drives, and disconnected document systems aren't just inefficient. They are existential audit risks under FDA and EMA scrutiny. ALCOA+ principles require that every document is attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original, and accurate. Merit's GxP Documents module, built natively on Dynamics 365, gives your quality and manufacturing teams a single, secure, controlled environment for every document that touches your production process.

Use cases include:

  • Material testing and inspection documents
  • Analytical methods and standards
  • Employee training documentation
  • Batch production records
  • Equipment validation and maintenance records
  • Equipment specifications and audit documentation
  • Environmental controls logs and history
  • Non-conformances, deviations, corrections, and investigation records
  • Batch release history

Having the procurement controls and vendor performance insights
provided by Merit for Life Science with D365 allows us to eliminate risk and ensure availability of the raw materials needed to support our manufacturing operations.
