What is Change Control Management Software?
Change Control Management Software helps pharmaceutical manufacturers manage planned changes to products, processes, equipment, facilities, utilities, computerized systems, documents, and other GMP-controlled elements through a structured electronic workflow.
Veritas GxP Change Control Management Software supports the complete change lifecycle, from change initiation and classification through impact assessment, quality risk assessment, cross-functional review, electronic approval, implementation, effectiveness verification, and controlled closure.
The system helps Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Engineering, Validation, Regulatory Affairs, and other affected teams manage change activities within a connected workflow while maintaining traceability between the change record and related quality processes.
Where a change affects controlled documentation, training requirements, validation activities, deviations, CAPA, or other quality records, the related activities can be connected to the Change Control record to provide better visibility throughout the change lifecycle.

Why Choose Veritas GxP for Pharmaceutical Change Control?
Pharmaceutical changes can affect product quality, manufacturing processes, equipment, utilities, computerized systems, documentation, validation status, and regulatory commitments. Veritas GxP provides a structured environment for initiating, assessing, reviewing, approving, implementing, and closing changes according to configured quality workflows.
Change Control does not operate in isolation. A proposed change may be connected with deviations, CAPA, investigations, quality risk assessments, controlled documents, training requirements, validation activities, and other related quality processes. By maintaining these relationships within a connected system, teams can better understand the impact of a change and maintain traceability across the complete change lifecycle.
Veritas GxP allows organizations to configure workflows, review stages, approval responsibilities, notifications, escalations, and implementation activities around their established SOPs and quality procedures. Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Engineering, Validation, Regulatory Affairs, and other affected teams can participate in the change process with defined responsibilities and controlled workflow progression.
The system also supports electronic records, electronic signatures, audit trails, role-based access controls, and data integrity practices for GMP-regulated pharmaceutical operations. A complete history of the change request, assessments, reviews, approvals, implementation activities, related quality records, and closure information can be maintained to support internal reviews, audits, and inspection readiness as part of the broader Quality Management System (QMS).

The system evaluates product quality, regulatory compliance, validation, manufacturing, documentation, and operational impacts before approving changes.
Yes. Every change request, approval, implementation, and closure is protected through secure electronic signatures and complete audit trails.
Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Engineering, Validation, Regulatory Affairs, Production, IT, Maintenance, and Quality Control teams use the software.
Veritas GxP supports GMP, 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11, India CDSCO, ALCOA+, electronic signatures, audit trails, ICH Q9 quality risk management, and pharmaceutical data integrity requirements.
Change Control manages planned modifications to GMP-controlled processes, systems, equipment, documents, or other controlled elements before implementation. Deviation Management is used to document and investigate an unplanned departure from an approved process, procedure, specification, or expected condition.
Change Control may be initiated when a planned modification could affect a product, manufacturing process, equipment, utility, facility, raw material, analytical method, computerized system, document, validation status, or other GMP-controlled activity.
When a corrective or preventive action requires a controlled modification to a process, procedure, equipment, system, or document, the related CAPA can be connected with Change Control to maintain traceability between the identified issue and the approved implementation activity.
After implementation, the organization can complete required documentation, training, validation, verification, and effectiveness activities according to the configured workflow before the Change Control record is reviewed for closure.
