The electronic logbook for GMP-compliant documentation

FL-eLogbook

Our electronic logbook replaces handwritten entries with a digital, tamper-proof solution that is fully GMP-compliant. Processes are documented in a more efficient, more traceable way that is ready for audit at all times. The FL-eLogbook can be optimally adapted to the needs of the customer.

Areas of application

The electronic logbook ‘FL-eLogbook’ meets all ALCOA+ requirements and offers an efficient solution for documentation. It replaces traditional paper-based logbooks and ensures precise and traceable recording of data.

Manufacturing

Complete and traceable documentation of all manufacturing steps – from start to final approval. Each work step is carefully recorded to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g. GMP) and maximum process reliability.

Maintenance

Documentation of all maintenance and servicing activities – from planned measures to recurring interventions. Every step is tracked in order to reliably meet regulatory requirements and internal quality standards.

Storage

Documentation of material storage locations and associated auxiliary equipment. The seamless recording of all storage information allows for complete traceability.

QA

Uniform documentation process as a result of standardised templates, allowing for consistent and error-free recording. Logbook-wide reporting with flexible filtering options allows for fast, targeted analysis and simple audits.

Scope of functions

The logbook allows for intuitive and efficient documentation according to the ALCOA+ principles. All entries are tamper-proof, provided with time and user stamps, and displayed in a clear and structured way. Functions such as recurring events, audited change histories, and validation and release mechanisms support consistent and rule-compliant recording. Powerful analysis and reporting functions allow for targeted evaluation according to criteria such as time period, user or content, whereby all data can be exported flexibly. Role-based access rights and a user-friendly interface ensure transparency, traceability and efficiency throughout the entire documentation process.

Graphical data visualisation

All relevant information in a logbook, such as the most recent entries and active processes, is displayed in a clear view that allows for quick and easy orientation.

Fast, user-friendly documentation

The system allows for user-friendly and time-saving documentation. Clear input structures, predefined text modules and process-guided workflows simplify recording and improve data quality. Audited corrections ensure transparent traceability of changes, while invalid or incorrect entries can be systematically invalidated and thus excluded from further processing.

Analysis and reporting

The system offers comprehensive analysis and reporting functions that enable detailed evaluation of logbook entries. Users can create individual reports based on specific criteria such as time period, user or content. The reports can be flexibly adapted and exported in different formats (e.g. PDF, Excel).
