LMS for GxP training

Any operator’s training record, on any SOP version, in minutes

Training tied to document revisions, electronic sign-offs on a time-stamped audit trail, and reports an inspector can follow. We build it around your quality system, you own the source code, and we run it as long as you need.

● A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER

In 12 years building Learning Management Systems, I’ve talked to thousands of learning businesses. When training records are part of a quality system, the stakes are a bit different, and I think the problems come down to three things.

Locked in

You’re on a platform somebody else controls. It got qualified once, years ago, and now nobody wants to touch it, so adding a site or changing how a training matrix works means a vendor ticket, a quote and a wait. If they change direction or put their prices up, you’re stuck.

Shaky records

Training lives on sign-off sheets, a spreadsheet and an old LMS export. When an inspector asks who was trained on revision 4 of a cleaning SOP, someone loses an afternoon stitching it together. A signature with no person and no time behind it doesn’t count.

Per-seat pricing

I think an LMS should cost about the same for 300 operators as for 3,000. Most charge per seat, so a second site or seasonal intake becomes a licensing conversation. And IT are stretched across ERP, the shop floor and all that kind of thing, so nothing gets built in-house.

They come back to the same thing. The system your records live in isn’t yours to change. The fix is owning the platform outright, built around your quality system, with us running it for you. Explore your options and talk it through with me.

Engineered to hold up under inspection

A system of record is only worth owning if it holds up under load and scrutiny. We build for the year-five inspection as much as launch day.

Proven foundations

We build on thousands of components hardened across live platforms: audit logging, role-based access, assessments, certificates, reporting. The parts an inspector checks first are stable before your project begins, so your budget goes on what’s specific to you.

Tested and documented

Specialist QA engineers who know how learning platforms fail, plus regression testing, automated alerts and load testing across devices. Test plans and results are documented and handed over, so they can sit alongside your own qualification evidence.

Designed so training gets done

Overdue training is an easy find for an inspector. We design modules operators can finish at the line, with reminders that chase for you, so completion rates rise and the overdue list shrinks.

Training management, linked to document control

Training sits in one system, SOPs in another. We connect them so revisions, roles and records stay in step.

Trained on the current revision: when a new SOP version is released, the training requirement updates, so retraining is assigned against the live revision

Joiners, movers and leavers: when HR adds someone or moves them to a new role or site, their training requirements and access update with them

Bend it around your stack: connects to the QMS, document management, HR and ERP systems you already run; if it needs to plug in, we build the integration

One source of truth: one record per person, per procedure, per version, so the week before an audit is a normal week

HOW IT WORKS

From scope to records you can stand behind, in 2-12 weeks

01

Strategy Blueprint

Before any code, we turn your scope into a plan you can trust: the records you must hold, where data flows, the controls the build needs, all costed and agreed. Yours to keep, whoever builds it.

01

02

Designed for the shop floor

Our founder-led design team turns the plan into screens an operator can use at the line. You click through a prototype before anything gets built.

02

03

Build you can watch

We build on components already proven on live platforms and custom-engineer the rest, in short sprints you review as you go. Each sprint is tested and documented for your files.

03

04

Records migrated intact

We move your training history across from the old LMS or spreadsheets. Completed records carry over intact.

Frequently asked questions

Can't see your question? Explore your options and we'll talk it through.

What should a GxP training LMS record, and how is it different from a general LMS?

A GxP training LMS records who was trained on which procedure, at which revision, when, by whom, and with what evidence, and it keeps that record unaltered for as long as your retention policy says. A general LMS tracks completions. The difference is what happens when document control releases revision 5 of an SOP: the people trained on revision 4 are flagged for retraining, their old record stays on file, and an inspector can see both. We build each of those behaviors around your quality system, so the training record and the controlled document agree.

Is this a 21 CFR Part 11 LMS, with audit trails and electronic signatures?

Part 11 and EU Annex 11 apply to your records and the system you operate, so meeting them is something you establish; what we build gives you the controls they expect. Every important action is written to a time-stamped audit trail: who did it, what changed, when and from where, and the entry cannot be edited or deleted afterwards. Read-and-understood confirmations and trainer sign-offs are electronic signatures tied to a named, authenticated user, with the time, document version and meaning of the signature recorded. Multi-factor authentication and role-based access sit underneath, so the signature belongs to the person it names.

How does the platform support our own validation?

Validation is yours to own, and the platform is designed to make it easier. The Blueprint produces the documented requirements and data map your user requirement specification starts from. The build is tested in stages, with test plans and results documented and handed over for your qualification files. The platform ships with secure defaults, role-based access and an audit trail already in place, and once live, changes go through your change control, with each release documented, so revalidation can be scoped to what changed.

How long are training records kept, and how quickly can we retrieve them?

Records are kept for as long as your retention policy requires, and retrieval takes minutes. You set retention periods per record type; nothing is purged without a documented decision. Any operator’s record on any SOP version can be pulled up on screen or exported, with its audit trail.

How long does building a GxP training LMS take?

Most builds take around three months from scope to launch, and a single-site system can be live in 2-4 weeks. The Blueprint comes first and settles requirements, data flows and controls before code starts. Build runs in short sprints you review, each tested and documented. Launch can be phased site by site, with your own qualification activities running alongside the build, so qualification keeps pace with delivery. Many clients keep extending the platform for years after launch, each change under change control.

What does a custom LMS cost compared with per-seat licensing across a plant?

A custom LMS is a larger one-time fee and a lower cost over time, because nothing is charged per user. The Blueprint fixes the figure for your sites and scope before anyone commits, and it can be paid once or over three years. Set that against per-seat licensing for every operator, contractor and temp across the plant, over the three to five years you’d keep the system. Ongoing costs are hosting and support, and you own the platform outright, so the asset stays with you.

Who owns the platform and the data, and where is it hosted?

You do. You hold the source code and all the data, and you can export everything in a usable format without asking us. Hosting is your choice: we run it for you, built and hosted to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 control standards, in the region your data residency rules require, or you host it on your own infrastructure. Encryption, tenant isolation, retention and deletion controls and secure defaults apply either way.

How do we change the platform after launch without breaking change control?

Changes go through your change control, with us doing the work. You raise the change, we scope it, build it in a test environment, document what changed and how it was tested, and release it when you approve. Because you own the source code, your team can take on that work whenever you choose, or keep us on a retainer to do it. Either way the platform is modular, so a new SOP workflow or integration is added alongside what you’ve already qualified.
