PQR/APQR

PQR/APQR – Product Quality Review & Data Analytics is a quality module from Pharmasoft designed for pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers that need to conduct structured, regulation-aligned annual or periodic product quality reviews. The module unifies product quality review processes and enterprise analytics into a single data-driven governance framework, consolidating quality metrics, manufacturing performance, deviations, complaints, stability data, and CAPA outcomes into structured, inspection-ready reviews. It supports regular periodic and rolling quality reviews of all registered products, including export-only items, to highlight overall trends and identify product and process improvements.

The module is intended for quality leaders, compliance teams, and management personnel who require visibility into product performance across the full quality system without relying on manual, multi-system data consolidation.
