One Missing GMP Certificate Blocks a $15M Batch Release. You Have 500 Suppliers to Audit.
Pharmaceutical supply chain compliance spans FDA, EMA, and 40+ global regulators. DSCSA requires serialization data from every trading partner. Supplier qualification audits are 18 months overdue. Your quality team is drowning in paper-based supplier files while FDA 483 observations pile up. Manual compliance processes can't scale with multi-tier supply chain complexity.

Sound Familiar? You Need to Act Now.
FDA Inspection Scheduled
FDA announced your facility inspection date. Your supplier qualification program has gaps. 43% of companies discover unauthorized spreadsheets performing critical calculations during inspections. You need audit-ready evidence in weeks, not months. Regulatory horizon scanning intelligence is critical now.
Your QA Director Just Left
The person who managed all supplier GMP certificates and audit schedules just resigned. Institutional knowledge is walking out the door. You need a system of record, not a single person managing BOM-level compliance intelligence.
Batch Release Blocked
Quality discovered an expired API supplier certificate during batch release review. The $15M batch is on hold. Your customer is waiting for a critical cancer therapy. You can't ship without current supplier compliance documentation. Multi-tier supply chain transparency would have prevented this.
Board Asking About Supply Chain Risk
Executive team wants to know your pharmaceutical regulatory compliance exposure. "How many suppliers have overdue audits? What's our GMP compliance gap? Can we prove supply chain integrity?" Without continuous audit-ready documentation, you don't have answers.

Pain Points
Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Compliance Is Broken
Supplier Certificate Chaos
Global Regulatory Fragmentation
Audit Schedules Slipping
DSCSA Data Collection Gaps
Before

After
Every supplier certificate in one place with continuous audit-ready documentation. Audit dates tracked automatically. 90-day alerts before anything lapses. Search by supplier, material, regulation, or date. Complete multi-tier supply chain transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Certivo handle supplier certificates from global API suppliers who don't respond? CORA achieves 85%+ supplier response rates through automated multi-language outreach via centralized supplier self-service portals and smart follow-up sequences. For non-responsive API suppliers, we flag the compliance risk in supplier risk scoring ecosystems, suggest alternative data sources, and help you make informed decisions about supplier qualification status.
Can Certivo track supplier qualification audits across multiple regulatory frameworks? Yes. Certivo tracks supplier audit schedules against FDA, EMA, WHO, and ICH Q7 requirements simultaneously. Risk-based scheduling prioritizes on-site audits for critical suppliers while automated questionnaires collect compliance evidence from lower-risk suppliers. BOM-level compliance intelligence provides complete component-to-product traceability.
How do you handle FDA inspection preparation? Certivo generates audit evidence packs containing all supplier GMP certificates, audit reports, questionnaires, and risk assessments. When FDA schedules an inspection, you can produce complete supplier qualification documentation in 4 hours—not 4 weeks. Continuous audit-ready documentation is always available.
What DSCSA data can you collect from trading partners? Certivo's standardized supplier questionnaire frameworks collect serialization data, transaction information, and verification responses from trading partners through centralized supplier self-service portals. We validate completeness, flag inconsistencies, and generate drug supply chain compliance documentation ready for FDA review.
How does Certivo integrate with existing QMS and ERP systems? Certivo provides integrated PLM ERP compliance connectivity with quality management systems (Veeva, MasterControl), ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle), and serialization systems. We import your existing data during implementation and maintain sync with your master supplier and material records. Multi-tier supply chain transparency extends across all connected systems.
Can Certivo help prevent FDA 483 observations on supplier qualification? Yes. FDA 483 observations frequently cite inadequate supplier qualification, insufficient oversight of CMOs, and incomplete change notification processes. Certivo's proactive monitoring, automated certificate tracking, and audit evidence generation directly address these common findings. Supplier risk scoring identifies suppliers at risk of certification gaps before they cause compliance issues.
