12 Core Capabilities

Built for audits. Designed for people.

Every capability is designed around one goal: making quality management faster, simpler, and audit-ready from day one. Modules are organised around the regulatory processes you are audited on.

Explore each capability below to see how it works, what regulations it addresses, and how it connects to other modules.

Document Control

Every document tracked, every version controlled

Manage the full lifecycle of quality documents in one place. Configurable review and approval workflows ensure every SOP, work instruction, and form is reviewed and signed before it is used. No more chasing signatures or wondering which version is current.

How It Works

Draft a document, assign reviewers and approvers, and collect electronic signatures with meaning codes. Once signed, the record is edit-locked and any change needs a new revision. Previous versions are retained with the full audit trail.

Key Capabilities

Configurable 2-, 3- or 4-signature review and approval workflows
Always know which version is current and approved
Signed records are edit-locked; changes require a new revision
Compliance calendar to keep periodic reviews visible
Full version history with a tamper-evident audit trail

All modules share a common audit trail and can cross-reference records for full traceability.

CAPA Management

Find the root cause. Fix it permanently.

Corrective and preventive actions that actually prevent recurrence. Built-in investigation tools guide your team from identification through root cause analysis to effectiveness verification, with full traceability at every step.

How It Works

A quality event triggers a CAPA. You classify the issue, assign investigators, conduct root cause analysis with the built-in root cause analysis fields, define corrective actions with deadlines, implement changes, verify effectiveness, and close — all from one record. Every step is audit-logged with electronic signatures.

Key Capabilities

Structured CAPA lifecycle from identification to effectiveness check
Built-in root cause analysis records
Effectiveness verification with evidence attachment
Due dates and status tracking on every action
Cross-record visibility to spot systemic issues
Cross-linked to complaints, audits, and non-conformances

Audit Management

Audit-ready at all times, not just before inspections

Plan, execute, and close audits with confidence. Whether internal quality audits, supplier assessments, or notified body inspections, every finding is tracked from observation through corrective action to closure.

How It Works

Create an audit program with a rolling schedule. For each audit, define scope, assign auditors, generate checklists from templates, record observations and findings during the audit, classify findings by severity, create linked CAPAs for critical findings, track corrective actions to closure, and generate the final audit report — all in one connected workflow.

Key Capabilities

Structured audit programs with annual scheduling
Configurable checklists and finding classification
Finding management with linked CAPAs
Supplier audit management with qualification tracking
Audit reports to feed management review
Cross-reference findings with CAPAs and complaints

Risk Management

Identify, assess, and control risks throughout the product lifecycle

A complete risk management process aligned with ISO 14971. From hazard identification through risk estimation, evaluation, and control, to residual risk assessment and post-production monitoring. Every risk decision is traceable and audit-ready.

How It Works

Identify hazards and hazardous situations, estimate severity and probability of harm, evaluate risk acceptability against defined criteria, implement risk control measures, verify effectiveness of controls, assess residual risk and benefit-risk, and monitor through post-production data. Risk-benefit analysis is documented and maintained throughout the product lifecycle.

Key Capabilities

ISO 14971-aligned risk management process
Risk matrices with configurable severity and probability scales
Risk control measures with verification tracking
Benefit-risk analysis documentation
Post-production risk monitoring integration

Training Management

The right people, with the right training, at the right time

Ensure every team member is qualified for their role. Training records link to your controlled documents. Skills matrices and competency records give you instant visibility into organizational readiness.

How It Works

Define training requirements per role, link training items to controlled documents, assign training when documents are updated, track completion with acknowledgment signatures, manage competency assessments and re-certifications, and generate skills gap reports for management review.

Key Capabilities

Training linked to controlled documents
Skills matrix with gap analysis per role and department

Complaint Handling

Every complaint investigated, every signal detected

Capture product complaints from any source and guide them through investigation, regulatory determination, and resolution. When adverse events require reporting, the platform helps you track vigilance deadlines and keep the reporting records.

How It Works

Receive a complaint, classify it by product, severity, and type, conduct a regulatory reportability determination, investigate with structured root cause analysis, link to CAPA if corrective action is needed, prepare vigilance reports and track regulatory deadlines (you submit to the authority, then record the result here), and review complaint data for signals.

Key Capabilities

Structured intake and classification
Regulatory reportability assessment workflow
Investigation workflows with root cause tools
Vigilance report preparation and deadline tracking (MDR Art. 87, 21 CFR 803); submission to authorities stays manual
Complaint data available for trend review
Linking to CAPA and non-conformance records

Post-Market Surveillance

Continuous monitoring after your device reaches the market

Systematic collection and analysis of post-market data to confirm ongoing safety and performance. Manage PMS plans, PMCF studies, periodic safety update reports, and trend reports — all connected to your complaint and risk management data.

How It Works

Create a PMS plan defining data sources and review intervals, collect data from complaints, literature, registries, and field safety actions, analyze trends and update risk assessments, generate PSUR or periodic safety update reports, plan and track PMCF studies, and feed findings back into your risk management file.

Key Capabilities

Electronic Signatures

Part 11-oriented signatures, built into every workflow

Sign records electronically. Every signature captures who signed, when, why and with what meaning, and binds to the SHA-256 hash of the signed file revision. Designed to support 21 CFR Part 11, with open items we track openly.

How It Works

When a record requires approval, the system presents the signature dialog. The signer re-enters their password (accounts are protected by TOTP two-factor login), selects the signature meaning (author, reviewer, approver, etc.), and signs. The signature records the signer, meaning, reason, UTC time and IP address, and is bound to the SHA-256 hash of the signed file revision. Once a record carries any valid e-signature — of any meaning, including a rejection — the record becomes edit-locked: it can no longer be edited in place, and any change must be made by creating a new controlled revision. Regulated records are never physically erased; a deletion soft-archives the record and retains it for the company's defined retention period.

Key Capabilities

Designed to support 21 CFR Part 11 (with open items we track openly)
Configurable signature meaning codes (author, reviewer, approver)
Password re-authentication at signing; TOTP two-factor login enforced for admin and manager roles
Signatures bound to the SHA-256 hash of the signed file
Post-approval edit-lock: signed records are edit-locked; changes require a new revision
Deleted regulated records are soft-archived and retained, never erased
Complete audit trail for every signature event
Sequential multi-signer workflows (2, 3 or 4 signatures)

Audit Trail

Who changed what, when, and why — for every record

A tamper-evident, hash-chained record of changes in the system. Inspectors and auditors can trace a change back to the person who made it, when, from which IP address, and what changed.

How It Works

Every create, update, and delete is logged with the user identity, timestamp, IP address, and before and after values. Entries are SHA-256 hash-chained, so any modification breaks the chain, and users cannot edit or delete audit entries. Logs are searchable and exportable for inspections.

Key Capabilities

Tamper-evident, hash-chained logging of record changes
Before-and-after values captured automatically
Designed to support ALCOA+ data-integrity principles
Searchable and exportable for regulatory inspections
User identity, timestamp, and IP address on every entry
Supports record-control expectations in 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO 13485

Regulatory Standards Addressed

  • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 — Audit trail requirements
  • FDA Data Integrity Guidance — ALCOA+ principles
  • ISO 13485 Section 4.2.5 — Control of records
  • EU MDR Annex II — Traceability requirements

Traceability & Design Controls

Connect every requirement to every test to every release

End-to-end traceability from design inputs through verification, validation, and production. When an auditor asks how a requirement was verified, the answer is one click away. Cross-module links show what is affected by a change.

How It Works

Define design inputs (user needs, regulatory requirements), create design outputs (specifications, drawings), link verification activities to specific requirements, document validation results against user needs, manage design changes with impact analysis, keep traceability matrix records, and maintain the design history file throughout the product lifecycle.

Key Capabilities

Requirements-to-design-to-verification linking
Design traceability matrix records
Impact analysis for change control decisions
Design history file management
Cross-module linking between any records
Design review documentation and tracking

Integrations & API Platform

REST API and webhooks for most modules

Connect MoniDoseQMS to the rest of your toolchain. A versioned REST API (add-on, Growth plan and up) covers most modules, scoped per-company API keys keep access controlled, and outbound webhooks push key events to your systems. Bulk import tools handle data onboarding and migration, while a Developer Hub documents the whole surface.

How It Works

Issue a scoped API key from the company settings (keys are hashed at rest, so the full value is shown only once at creation). Call the versioned REST endpoints under /api/v1 to read or write records across modules. Subscribe to outbound webhooks for key events — each delivery is HMAC-signed and recorded in a delivery log you can inspect and retry. Onboard or migrate existing data through the bulk import tools; large imports land as Draft so a qualified user can review and attest before the records become effective.

Key Capabilities

Versioned REST API (api/v1) over most modules (add-on, Growth+)
Scoped per-company API keys, hashed at rest
Outbound webhooks for key events: HMAC-signed, with delivery logs
Bulk import for data onboarding and migration

Expert Network

Outside expertise, inside your QMS

Bring regulatory and quality consultants directly into your quality system. Grant an expert consent-gated, read-only access to the records they need, receive structured recommendations you can act on, and handle hours and invoicing without leaving the platform. Are you a consultant? Join the network.

How It Works

Browse the expert directory and request the expertise you need, or invite a consultant you already work with. You grant consent-gated, read-only access scoped to your company — and you can revoke it at any time. The expert reviews your live records, files structured recommendations against specific modules, and logs hours as they work. Hours flow into built-in invoicing (invoices export as Finvoice 3.0), and expert activity is captured in the audit trail like any other system action.

Key Capabilities

Customer-facing expert directory with application-based listing
Consent-gated, read-only expert access — revocable at any time
Structured recommendations linked to your real QMS records
Built-in hours tracking and invoicing per engagement
