“Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know we had an inspector in and they were very impressed with our document and training management systems. The audit went well, and we had no trouble locating the necessary documents or training. Using TMS web has given us a level of control and organization that just wasn’t achievable manually. You came through with a big solution, for a small price.” Tina-Director of QA and Compliance

We indicated to the auditor that we validated and completed the system implementation utilizing 1 part time headcount within 2l/2 months from date of purchase with no additional consultants necessary. Your system is truly a big solution for a small price. I am confident that your system supports the regulatory requirements for document and training management. Thanks again for all of your support,” Gerri-Regulatory Manager

TMS is the only off-the-shelf Windows-based solution combining indexing, document management, and training management into one easy-to-implement affordable package. Because of this unique integration, combined with TMS’s modest cost, no-load strain on IT resources, and ability to quickly automate labor-intensive environments, you can expect a high rate of return ranging between 200% and 600%. To put it concisely:
In one year your company can get back between $2.00 to $6.00 for every dollar it spends installing TMS!
Quality projects develop a high degree of urgency once management sees projections in this range. In a very real sense, time is costing your company money – maybe a lot of money. Performing this analysis will make you more cognizant that TMSWeb is a profit-generating, low-risk investment, rather than an expense to be budgeted and deferred.
Through automation, TMS is designed to increase efficiency on a noticeably large scale by allowing it’s users to navigate through a multitude of activities with ease of execution. These features include (but not limited too) ? assigned training tasks in sequence, overdue tasks, follow-ups and escalation, online quizzing, and group sign off for companies that train large groups or have employees in multiple locations. Because let’s face it, who couldn’t utilize the benefit of having more time in order to increase job performance and be the office rockstar. (you may even be able to ask for a raise!)
“I was just talking to Dan and he related to me how the TMS system has reduced
new product turnaround from 3months to 3 weeks immediately and now it just takes 3 days to get a customer a spec. Thanks for a great product.” Johnl-System Engineer
“The Training Management System (TMS) is a wonderful tool. As a Document Control Administrator, it is vital to me and our organization to have a centralized location as a gathering tool for all our documentation. It is such an easy tool to use, ability to track who has “reviewed” a document, who has a document “checked out”, who has “redlined” a document, just to name a few. Currently having over 1800 documents to control our TMS system, there would be so much more work for me to do. Per our internal client audits we are required to administer quizzes, TMS has that function as well. I also have to prepare daily, weekly and monthly reports it’s so nice to have that data at the snap of my fingers, and not spend hours collecting information and hoping it’s right. If you are tired of ALL the separate spreadsheets to control you need to have the TMS tool as part of your daily work life. Many thanks for making my work easier to do” Barb- Document Control Specialist

For over four years, QSI leadership sat on the FDA committee that developed the very guidance documents and training used for translating FDA requirements to electronic systems. That means crucial policies, procedures, and controlled content are all built into our solution. We live and breathe compliance every day and have successfully worked with more than 1,000 quality and regulatory managers.
We work closely with regulatory bodies like the FDA to stay on top of regulatory requirements. Our solutions are designed to comply with the most rigorous regulations (such as FDA, MHRA, EMA and MHLW rules), guidelines (including EU Annex 11 and ICH) and standards (ISO, GxP, EU GMP).
In order to uphold TMS’s commitment to maintain our customers standard of compliance with FDA Regulations, any add-on features that may be requested by a customer to enhance or expedite their current TMS system is always confirmed to be compliant before implementation.
For every company that is regulated it is required that they are able to demonstrate that the computerized system in place to assure compliance is fit for it’s intended use. Risk analysis and evaluation of software and computer systems is a good tool to optimize validation costs by focusing on systems with high impact on both the business and compliance.
Basically, this means the FDA and other agencies expect a risk assessment for each computer system, otherwise full validation is required. Companies without justified risk assessments will not be able to defend their selected level of validation. The real value in a comprehensive risk-based validation approach is in doing exactly the right amount and detail of validation for each system.
By empowering your management teams, employees, and contractors to accurately and efficiently execute, deliver and enhance their current processes, assignments, and production capacities you are cultivating an environment which legitimizes job performance and competency.
