ComplianceQuest, announced today that Aphria has replaced its QMS and legacy digital solutions with CQ's modern cloud-based Enterprise Quality Management System (EQMS). CQ solutions provide support for GMP Compliance and improve efficiencies in operations and faster time to market throughout Aphria's growth in order to protect licenses and business. Aphria Inc. also implemented Rootstock ERP, a ComplianceQuest technology partner, concurrently and the 2 systems are fully integrated to provide a seamless seed to sale trace and tracking.
ComplianceQuest's unified suite of applications support end-to-end quality management processes in highly regulated and competitive verticals to drive exceptional business value. CQ focuses on quality and risk management across the entire value chain, from sourcing to manufacturing to supply-chain while improving both revenue and bottom line significantly.
With a high growth and fast-changing environment, processes need to be constantly optimized and new processes added while maintaining compliance to GMP, Health Canada and other regulatory agencies. Aphria uses the entire CQ EQMS platform including Document, Training, Change, Inspection, Nonconformance, Corrective Action (CAPA), Customer Complaints including integration to Rootstock in a rapid timeline. As a modern cloud-native application suite, ComplianceQuest is pre-integrated with Rootstock ERP accelerating Aphria's digital transformation journey. Aphria is currently working to roll-out Audit, Equipment, Incident and Supplier Management functions and will be fully live with the Quality System vision over the next few months.
Aphria sees significant benefits with ComplianceQuest, including:
¢ Single unified Aphria's platform to enable processes and solutions that support customer experience management, manufacturing, processing and quality assurance workflows in a seamless fashion.
¢ Integration between Rootstock ERP and CQ allowing raw material inspection, in-process checks and final inspections to be made and the generation of relevant Certificate of Conformance (CoC) reports.
¢ Reduce time-to-market, license approvals and external audit readiness.
¢ Fast and flexible compliance in a quickly changing, regulated Industry.
¢ Real-time visibility to defined QMS key process indicators (KPIs).
¢ Ease of escalation throughout the QMS.
¢ Demonstrable compliance with Health Canada and GMP/GxP Regulations.
¢ Complete visibility and control of QMS processes across divisions/locations as Aphria grows.
œWe are very pleased that Aphria partnered with ComplianceQuest, says Prashanth Rajendran, CEO of ComplianceQuest. œWith the CQ solution's flexibility, scalability and depth of functionality was fully leveraged to fit Aphria's needs for a modern / next generation cloud EQMS.
