Why VelQuest
Our Mission
VelQuest Corporation was founded to address a critical requirement of the life science industry:
How to leverage scientific resources to meet compliance regulations while increasing the productivity of people, reduce operational costs, and move finished product off the shipping dock faster then ever before.
 We remain committed to this mission, and GxP data management is our ONLY business. Our flagship product is the award-winning SmartLab GMP Electronic Notebook System. This patented technology eliminates compliance bottlenecks from paper-based processes in regulated development and quality operations. It captures all lab data at the source in real time, and seamlessly links procedures and SOPs with the data capture process. So not only does it reduce your compliance risk, it virtually eliminates tedious paperwork and dramatically simplifies reviews and audits. Less risk, shorter cycle times, lower operating costs. For examples of actual customer metrics, please visit our Customer Profiles page or see implementation presentations from the International Meeting on Automated Compliance (IMACS) at www.imacs-world.com.
The SmartLab architecture is: “method-based” where your test methods and SOPs become the integration hub for all lab execution data management tasks. The critical tasks include:
- Providing the current test method or SOP to qualified and approved analysts and reviewers “under glass”.
- Assessing the “compliance-state” of all materials and chemicals used in the method before analysts use them.
- Complete instrument integration and assessment of their compliance state prior to use.
- Real-time analyst and instrument data capture with data checks/flags for expected norms – perfect for “right first time” programs.
- Interoperability with existing IT infrastructure such as Chromatography Data Systems (CDS), LIMS, Document Management Systems, ERP systems and other data base applications (CAPA, Metrology etc.).
Our platform is a COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) solution and uses standard technology applications including Microsoft, Oracle, Citrix and web-based modules for full scalability and efficient client deployments.

Already have a LIMS?
Success of your total LIMS initiative might depend on SmartLab. How? Traditional LIMS products try to tackle automation of lab execution tasks, but they usually require extensive custom coding and challenging validation processes that take years and millions of dollars to complete. Keeping your LIMS project focused on lab administration tasks, such as specifications management and sample tracking, will increase your chances of a successful LIMS deployment.
The lab execution tasks are best automated by SmartLab, because it’s purpose-built for analysts who execute methods at the lab bench. In coupling your LIMS with SmartLab, your LIMS initiatives can be completed in less time and money with fewer resources than doing the job with LIMS alone. This plan is often referred to as a “thin LIMS” deployment with SmartLab integration.

Don’t have a LIMS?
For some companies, a LIMS product may not be necessary at all. Many ERP software platforms have modules that, when coupled with SmartLab, can accomplish what a commercial LIMS product could do. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate LIMS and the perpetual validation and maintenance costs associated with it. For examples of different architectures utilizing these various systems, please visit our Information Technology page.
It’s Easy to Get Started
Every year, your management sets the goal: try to cut operating costs while maintaining or increasing compliance and product quality. We understand that trying to make changes to your operations is like repairing an airplane engine while in flight. And when resources are scarce, it’s hard to see the forest for the trees. So at VelQuest, we’ve made it simple for operations like yours to automate the most time consuming and money draining manual processes you have, one small bite at a time.
Option 1: ApplicationPaks - VelQuest has configured its SmartLab solution as ApplicationPaks. AppPaks are a good entry point into GMP ELN technology, because they have all the functionality of a full-blown enterprise GMP ELN system but in a small inexpensive package. Each ApplicationPak contains a suite of method templates, some instrument connections, and a handful of user licenses to get you up and running in as little as 45 days. Find an AppPak to target your lab’s problem area on our Products page.
Option 2: Business Impact Assessment Road-Map - Through a site visit and key management and operations interviews, our client development team will assess your current lab informatics practices and identify critical workflow, productivity and cost reduction opportunities for your operations. In addition, a complete cost analysis for implementation will be developed with five year financial impacts. This analysis is your road-map for a complete, compliant and affordable cGMP informatics future.
