Frequently Asked Questions

Validated CMMS & FDA Compliance Software

GxPReady provides validated CMMS software for pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, and other FDA- and EMA-regulated companies.

The questions below address common concerns related to 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, system validation, inspection readiness, deployment timelines, and pricing for regulated teams evaluating maintenance, calibration, and validation software.

Validated CMMS Questions

What is a validated CMMS?

A validated CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) is software qualified for use in regulated environments where electronic records must meet GMP and FDA requirements.

A validated CMMS should:

  • Maintain secure audit trails
  • Control user access
  • Protect electronic records
  • Support inspection readiness
  • Include validation documentation

Is GxPReady suitable for small GMP companies?

Yes. GxPReady is designed specifically for small to mid-sized regulated companies (10–200 employees) transitioning into Phase 3 and commercial manufacturing.

It is ideal for organizations that need:

  • Rapid deployment
  • Inspection-ready documentation
  • Reduced validation burden
  • No enterprise-level complexity
How long does it take to deploy and qualify GxPReady?

Most organizations can configure, train, and qualify GxPReady within days.

Because configuration options are controlled and validation documentation (IQ/OQ support) is included, qualification effort is significantly reduced compared to highly customized enterprise systems.

How is GxPReady different from enterprise CMMS systems?

GxPReady is designed for growing regulated companies that need compliance without enterprise complexity.

Unlike highly configurable enterprise platforms, GxPReady:

  • Deploys in days instead of months
  • Includes validation documentation
  • Requires minimal configuration
  • Does not require long-term contracts

It is built to support inspection readiness without a heavy administrative burden.

21 CFR Part 11 & Compliance

Is GxPReady designed to support 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11?

Yes. GxPReady is designed to support electronic record expectations under:

  • 21 CFR Part 11
  • EU Annex 11
  • GMP-regulated environments

The system includes role-based access controls, secure audit trails, electronic record protection, and validation documentation. Final compliance remains the responsibility of the regulated organization.

Does CMMS software need to support 21 CFR Part 11?

If the system stores electronic records used to demonstrate GMP compliance, it should support 21 CFR Part 11 expectations such as audit trails, user authentication, and record integrity controls.

General maintenance tools often lack these protections.

Does GxPReady make my company compliant?

Compliance depends on how the system is implemented, validated, and used within your quality system.

GxPReady is designed to support regulatory expectations, but validation and ongoing compliance remain the responsibility of the regulated organization.

Calibration, Validation & Maintenance

Can I use a spreadsheet for GMP maintenance or calibration tracking?

No regulation explicitly prohibits spreadsheets. However, spreadsheets typically lack secure access controls, automated audit trails, and controlled change tracking.

As organizations grow, spreadsheet-based systems become difficult to validate and maintain in regulated environments.

What features are included in GxPReady?

GxPReady includes:

  • Equipment registry management
  • Calibration tracking
  • Preventive maintenance tracking
  • Validation tracking (IQ/OQ documentation)
  • Secure audit trails
  • Document attachment support
  • Automated due-date notifications
  • Exportable reports

All modules operate within one validated platform.

Does GxPReady integrate with other systems?

GxPReady is intentionally not pre-configured for complex integrations.

Integrations can increase validation scope and introduce compliance risks. The platform is designed to maintain data integrity and enable rapid qualification without dependency on external systems.

Is GxPReady cloud-based or on-premise?

GxPReady is cloud-based and operates within a secure, qualified environment that includes controlled access, automated backups, and geographically diverse redundancy.

Is equipment numbering important in regulated environments?

Yes. Structured equipment numbering improves traceability, documentation control, and inspection readiness.

Consistent identification reduces compliance risk during audits.

Pricing & Deployment

How much does GxPReady cost?

Pricing includes:

  • One-time validated setup fee
  • Monthly subscription pricing
  • Included validation documentation
  • Product training
  • Platform updates

There are no long-term contracts.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. GxPReady uses flexible subscription pricing.

  • No multi-year commitments
  • Cancel anytime
  • Predictable monthly pricing
Do you provide training or audit assistance?

Training is included during deployment.

Audit assistance is available if needed, though the provided validation documentation package is typically sufficient to support inspection readiness.
