alt-QMS
Document control, training management, and change tracking for regulated life sciences labs with AI-driven compliance automation.
Overview
Scispot alt-QMS is a modern, AI-powered Quality Management System designed specifically for biotech, pharmaceutical, diagnostics, and other laboratory-based life sciences companies. Built with an intuitive, user-friendly interface and a scalable architecture, alt-QMS transforms regulatory compliance from a reactive burden into a streamlined, proactive process—enabling lab teams to spend more time on science and less on paperwork.
alt-QMS is purpose-built to meet the compliance demands of regulated lab environments, supporting standards including GxP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 17025, CLIA, and GMP. It is available as a standalone solution or as part of Scispot's fully integrated Lab Operating System (LabOS), which also includes alt-LIMS, alt-ELN, and GLUE.
