Overview

QBD.Net manages controlled documents in the user's existing MS Office environment: Word files, Excel forms and PowerPoint presentations are created with familiar programs and routed through team- or person-based review, approval and acknowledgement with a rights concept and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant electronic signatures. Historical versions with change tracking and integrated PDF creation remain accessible, open tasks trigger automatic e-mail or intranet reminders, and approved documents are published to employees via the platform-independent WebCAQ.Net or exported to external systems. An AI assistant can draft documents such as procedural instructions. QBD.Net runs as SaaS hosted by CAQ AG or on-premises; AuditTrail.Net and the qxhub exchange portal are optional add-ons.
