Where GACP operations hit their limits
Cultivation under GMP scrutiny
From starting material to dried product, every step must be traceable. Paper records and spreadsheets rarely keep pace with growth.
High expectations from authorities and buyers
Inspections, supplier audits by your customers and quality agreements demand robust evidence, often at short notice.
Many silos, no continuous trail
SOPs in a file share, training on paper, deviations by email: at inspection, the link between event, cause, action and training is missing.
One QM system for GACP and GMP operations
The GACP standard package ships with preconfigured document types, workflows and templates based on EMA GACP and EU GMP Annex 7, plus a compliance matrix that maps clause numbers to the evidence in the system.
Controlled SOPs
Revisions with an approval workflow: authoring, subject-matter review, approval, QA release. An SOP only becomes effective with its sealed PDF/A rendition; supersession, withdrawal and periodic review are signed steps.
Electronic signatures with signature meaning
Every signature carries name, time and meaning, such as "QA release" or "verified (second person)". Re-authentication at signing (password, optionally TOTP), lockout after failed attempts and a hash-chained audit trail support the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11.
Deviation, CAPA and change control
Deviations with classification, root cause analysis (5 Whys, Ishikawa) and batch hold; CAPA with effectiveness checks; change control with an impact assessment of which SOPs, forms and training are affected.
Training and qualification lock
Training assignments, knowledge tests and on-the-job assessments. The qualification lock ensures only trained people perform a step.
Batch records and testing
Electronic batch record (eBR), QC test records with OOS/OOT handling, supplier evaluation and equipment management with calibration and maintenance.
Inspector access and WORM
Authorities or auditors get a time-limited read-only role. Approved documents and evidence are kept in WORM storage whose retention can only be extended, never shortened.
From cultivation to release
- 01Control SOPsInstructions for cultivation, harvest, drying and storage are written in the structured editor or as Word files from a controlled template and go through signed approval.
- 02Qualify the teamNew revisions trigger training. Only trained people may perform the affected step.
- 03Document the batchBatch record and testing run electronically; deviations are reported with photos and can place the batch on hold.
- 04Release and open for inspectionQA release by electronic signature. For inspections, the authority receives time-limited, read-only access.
Designed for GACP and EU GMP
The GACP standard package combines the EMA guideline on good agricultural and collection practice with Annex 7 of the EU GMP guide; for processing, the GMP standard package is also available. You achieve compliance through validation, your own SOPs and training. vemix provides the validation package and OQ test reports for every release.
