Challenges Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Face

The pharmaceutical industry faces intense FDA scrutiny. Managing GMP compliance, documentation, and traceability with inadequate tools puts your license and patients at risk.

FDA GMP Compliance Pressure

Meeting 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211 requirements for batch production records, laboratory records, and component documentation is complex and high-stakes.

Incomplete Batch Documentation

Paper-based or spreadsheet batch records miss critical details, lack proper sign-offs, and create compliance gaps that FDA inspectors will find during audits.

Lot Traceability Gaps

When an API or excipient supplier has a quality issue, tracing affected drug products lot-by-lot must happen within hours for patient safety.

Component Release Bottlenecks

Managing quarantine, sampling, testing, CoA review, and release decisions for incoming components without proper systems delays production.

Expiration & Stability Management

Without proper systems, products ship close to expiration or components are used past their retest dates. Stability data lives in disconnected files.

21 CFR Part 11 Requirements

Electronic records require audit trails, electronic signatures, and access controls. Generic spreadsheets do not meet these requirements.

Trusted by Pharmaceutical Manufacturers

See why pharmaceutical companies choose Fiddle for their GMP compliance, inventory, and production needs.

Our FDA inspection went smoother than any we have had in 15 years. The inspector spent an entire day reviewing batch records and traceability. Her comment was that our documentation was exceptionally well-organized. That is Fiddle.

Dr. Elizabeth Morgan
VP of Quality Assurance, Meridian Pharmaceuticals

When we had a supplier recall on an API lot, we traced all affected finished products and initiated our recall within 4 hours. Before Fiddle, that would have been a multi-day, all-hands effort.

Director of Operations, Nova Drug Manufacturing

The component release workflow eliminated our quarantine backlog. Materials used to sit for weeks waiting for paperwork. Now our QA team processes releases the same day because everything is in one system.
