Close CAPAs faster,prevent recurrence
AI-powered CAPA management that guides root cause analysis, tracks actions, and verifies effectiveness. No more audit repeat findings.

Issue capture → Risk classification → Assignment
Investigation
Containment → Root cause analysis → Impact assessment
Action Planning
Corrective actions → Preventive actions → Resource allocation
Implementation

Verification
Effectiveness check → Recurrence monitoring → Closure
Why do CAPAs fail?
Most CAPA systems track paperwork, not outcomes. The result: repeat findings and recurring problems.
CAPAs Take Forever to Close
Average CAPA takes 90+ days to close. Auditors cite open CAPAs as repeat findings year after year.
Same Issues Keep Recurring
Root cause analysis is superficial. 'Operator error' and 'retraining' don't prevent recurrence.
No Visibility into Status
CAPA tracking in spreadsheets. Management can't see aging, bottlenecks, or effectiveness data.
Effectiveness Not Verified
CAPAs closed without verifying the actions worked. Problems resurface months later.

CAPAs That Actually Prevent Problems
Measurable improvement in quality outcomes.
AI that learns from your quality history
Your CAPA Copilot suggests root causes, recommends actions, and identifies patterns across your quality data.
Root Cause Suggestions
"Similar contamination issues had these root causes..."
Action Recommendations
"Effective actions for this type of issue include..."
Trend Analysis
"You've had 5 similar issues this quarter - here's the pattern"
Quality Engineer asks:
"We found foreign material contamination in batch 2024-156. What should I investigate?"
Based on 12 similar contamination CAPAs in the past 2 years:
Most Common Root Causes:
1. Raw material contamination (42%) - Check incoming inspection records
2. Equipment cleaning issues (33%) - Review cleaning logs for Line 3
3. Environmental controls (17%) - Check HVAC filter maintenance
Effective Corrective Actions:
- Enhanced incoming inspection sampling (CAPA-2023-045)
- Cleaning validation protocol update (CAPA-2023-089)
Note: Line 3 had 3 contamination events in Q3. Consider a process review.
