How Dechra streamlined C&Q and CSV

Dechra Pharmaceuticals' paper-based validation lacked digital capability, creating data-integrity and efficiency risk, and it needed risk-based Commissioning, Qualification & Validation (CQV) with better traceability, compliance and global team coordination. Dechra partnered with VEQTOR and Kneat to implement Kneat Gx, using pre-configured 'Program Packs' to cut implementation time and enable remote global collaboration. Results: 70% faster CAPEX C&Q, 12% faster protocol creation, validation overall 50-70% faster, setup time halved via Program Packs, and improved global collaboration/real-time reporting. Quality Technology Manager Lee Jones said: 'The system is intuitive, easy to use, and enables seamless validation testing with clear layouts and features.'

Kneat is a paperless computer-system and process-validation platform — one of the two dominant players in digitizing the validation evidence GxP systems require before go-live.

This sits in the Ship stage of the AI use-case lifecycle: Named examples from the vendors pharma teams use to get an AI system live inside a real, regulated production workflow — validation, CRM, safety and clinical systems of record.
