(Sparta), the maker of TrackWise®, and the market leader in enterprise quality and compliance management software announces that Grünenthal, a global pharmaceutical company specializing in the field of pain therapy, contraception and innovative formulations for established active substances, deployed TrackWise to handle its quality management and compliance activities.

“We are using TrackWise for management of the Change Control Procedure within Grünenthal, which speeds up our process and which facilitates communication and information flow between all involved departments” said Dr. Achim Troll, Head Quality Assurance within Technical Operations and responsible for GMP-Compliance. “As a next step, as already realized for GCP/GLP/Pharmacovigilance-audits, TrackWise will be used for GMP-audits management which will help us to improve GMP-compliance continuously. For the future we are planning to widen the application of TrackWise permanently in managing GMP-processes”.
