100% Paperless Validation Success with GoVal

With a legacy of over 100 years, Alembic Pharmaceuticals, a leader in therapeutic segments like cardiovascular and CNS, embarked on a digital transformation journey to modernize its validation processes and uphold its commitment to quality.

Alembic Pharmaceuticals Paperless Validation Success

The Challenge of Paper-Based Validation at Scale

Before partnering with GoVal, Alembic's manual validation processes were resource-intensive. In a single year, the company conducted 343 CSVs, a monumental effort that consumed 9,336.5 days and generated 380,000 pages of paper. With an average completion time of 25 days per CSV, the process was slow and susceptible to data integrity issues and GDP errors.

They needed a solution to:

  • Eliminate manual errors and resolve GDP/DI issues.
  • Drastically reduce validation timelines and operational costs.
  • Automate the creation of critical reports like the RTM and VSR.
  • Harmonize validation practices across all their locations.

GoVal's Accelerated Digital Validation Solution

GoVal provided a comprehensive Validation Lifecycle Management System (VLMS) that transformed Alembic's validation processes, delivering a 100% digital, paperless environment with remarkable speed and efficiency.

Zero Paper, Printing & Scanning

GoVal completely eliminated the need for physical documents, saving 3.8 lac pages annually and removing storage and retrieval costs.

Massive Time Savings

With an average saving of 5 days per CSV, Alembic reclaimed 1,955 validation days per year through automated workflows and faster test execution.
