Continuous Third‑Party Monitoring & Supplier Certification Tracking (Pharma)

Create continuous oversight of your external network with automated monitoring and structured, audit‑ready documentation.

• What’s monitored:

• Regulatory enforcement actions and recalls (e.g., warning letters, import alerts, field safety notices)

• Quality signals and findings from audits and inspections

• Certification status and evidence for GMP, GDP, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 14001

• Supplier portal for evidence intake:

• Portal‑based, authenticated uploads of certificates and audit reports

• Automated validation checks (completeness, dates, status) with reviewer workflows

• Expiry reminders and renewal tasks with “document‑chasing” sequences and escalation paths

• Third‑party audit libraries:

• Supports ingestion of customer‑provided audit libraries (e.g., Rx‑360, Qualifyze, Rephine)

• Map audit observations to CAPA/SCAR in your linked QMS via QMS Integration

Continuous third‑party monitoring and supplier certification tracking (GMP, GDP, ISO 13485)

Standardize supplier onboarding and maintain continuous qualification with structured, auditable certificate management built for regulated pharma supply chains.

• Mini workflow: enroll supplier → capture certifications (issuer, scope, effective/expiry, sites/materials covered) → Part 11‑compliant approvals → QMS SCAR/CAPA linkage → expiries with 90/60/30 reminders → audit pack.

• Fields captured by default: certificate type/number, issuing body, accreditation, scope text, effective/expiry dates, covered sites/parts, attachments, reviewer/approver, CAPA linkage.

Supplier certification tracking FAQ#

How are certificate expiries tracked?#

Expiry dates are captured at upload and monitored with automated 90/60/30‑day reminders, renewal tasks, and escalation paths to keep approvals current.

Are supplier approvals Part 11 compliant?#

Yes. Approvals use electronic signatures with meaning, unique user IDs, and time‑stamped audit trails. Reviewer/approver roles enforce authority checks.

What audit trail is maintained for certificates and changes?#

An immutable, time‑stamped audit log records uploads, edits, reviews, approvals, and linkage to SCAR/CAPA. Audit packs compile the full evidence set for inspections.

Part 11 Controls & Validation Package

Parakeet provides foundational controls to help meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements and streamline validation in regulated environments.

• Electronic signatures with signature manifestation (name, timestamp, meaning) and unique user IDs

• Time‑stamped, immutable audit trails for records, workflow actions, and approvals

• Role‑based identity and authority checks with configurable access controls

• Electronic records controls including versioning, retention, and secure archival

• Alignment with change‑control processes and traceability to SOPs and policies

Validation documentation is available upon request and can include URS, IQ/OQ/PQ, Validation Summary Report (VSR), and supporting change‑control records. For scope details and alignment with your validation strategy, contact us or see 21 CFR Part 11 and QMS Integration.

Pharma Onboarding & Validation FAQ

How does pharma onboarding work and how long does it take?#

Timelines vary by scope. Typical phases include discovery and data migration (suppliers, certificates, SOPs), configuration and role mapping, validation testing, and go‑live. Coexistence with spreadsheets and staged rollouts are supported.

Can Parakeet provide validation evidence for audits?#

Yes—validation documentation is available upon request, including URS, IQ/OQ/PQ, VSR, and change‑control records. We support customer‑led or vendor‑assisted validation approaches.

Where is my data hosted and what are the data residency options?#

Parakeet supports enterprise data residency requirements. Regional hosting and encryption details can be provided upon request to align with corporate and regulatory policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GMP compliance and why is it critical for pharma organizations?#

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) ensures consistent quality and safety of pharmaceutical products by enforcing standardized operational protocols, documentation, and continuous risk-based oversight. GMP is enforced globally (e.g., FDA, EMA) and non-compliance can result in severe regulatory action, product recalls, or patient harm.

How does Parakeet maintain 21 CFR Part 11 compliance?#

By providing electronically validated audit trails, access control, electronic signatures, and secure data storage mapped directly to Part 11 requirements. All changes to documents, records, and workflows are fully traceable and non-repudiable.

Can Parakeet automate existing Excel-based GMP workflows?#

Yes. Parakeet supports enhancement (not replacement) of spreadsheet-based protocols by adding layers of data validation, real-time collaboration, integration, and secure audit trail functionality, ensuring regulatory readiness as organizations scale beyond the limitations of stand-alone spreadsheets.

Further reading: Blog: Reinventing Industrial Compliance

How does the platform minimize product recall risk?#

Through automated material and batch traceability, supply chain visibility, instant recall workflows, and templated communications. All steps, decisions, and actions are logged to support post-recall analysis and regulatory filings.

Does Parakeet support global (non-US) pharma regulations?#

Yes. The system is built for international regulatory contexts beyond the US FDA: EMA (Europe), MHRA (UK), Health Canada, PMDA (Japan), and more.

What does audit readiness look like with Parakeet?#

All relevant documentation—such as SOPs, batch records, CAPAs, deviation logs, and personnel training records—is available on-demand for remote and on-site inspections, radically reducing prep time and risk of audit findings.
