What we hand over is
ready to operate.

GMP consulting that happens on the plant and does not end with the report: plant and process engineering, qualification and validation, CSV and data integrity, quality and QMS, project leadership and management. Five pillars, delivered on site in live GMP operations, with audit-proof documentation and an audit-ready handover.

Pillar 1

Plant & Process Engineering

Plants, processes and utilities: planned, supported and improved across the entire lifecycle. We work directly at the equipment, aligned with production and QA, so that projects land in operations.

Plant Planning & Project Support

From the concept phase to a handover ready for operation: we plan new builds and modifications and support execution where it is decided, at the equipment.

GMP

Process Engineering

Designing, adapting and stabilizing processes: technically sound, risk-assessed and documented so that every change remains traceable.

GMP · ICH Q9

Auxiliary Systems & Utilities

PW/WFI, HVAC and cleanroom air, compressed gases: we plan and maintain the supply systems that every GMP production depends on.

GMP · Annex 1

Engineering in Live Operations

We plan modifications and expansions in GMP operations so that production and the qualified state remain protected, coordinated with operations, QA and maintenance.

GMP
Pillar 2

Qualification & Validation

Qualifying equipment, validating processes: we manage the lifecycle end to end in line with EU-GMP Annex 15 and risk-based to ICH Q9. With documentation that holds up in an audit.

Qualification to Annex 15

URS, DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ as a continuous lifecycle for equipment, systems and utilities. Requalification keeps the qualified state evidenced throughout the operating life.

EU-GMP Annex 15

Risk-Based Testing Depth

Testing scope and depth follow the risk to product and patient, not a template. This focuses effort where it carries evidential weight.

ICH Q9

C&Q with FAT and SAT

Integrated Commissioning & Qualification to ASTM E2500: we incorporate supplier testing where justified instead of repeating it on site.

ASTM E2500

Audit-Proof Documentation

Every requirement remains traceable from the URS to the PQ. That way, documentation carries evidence instead of counting pages.

Pillar 3

CSV & Data Integrity

We validate computerized systems to GAMP 5 (Second Edition): risk-based, with a sense of proportion and without paper that protects no one. The result: systems that are auditable at any time, and data integrity to ALCOA+.

Computer System Validation

CSV to GAMP 5 (Second Edition): category-based, risk-proportionate and driven by Critical Thinking instead of template reflexes.

GAMP 5

Supplier Leverage

We assess supplier documentation and testing and rely on them where they are robust. Our own testing effort concentrates on the residual risk.

GAMP 5

Data Integrity to ALCOA+

Data flows, audit trails and access concepts: we find the points where data integrity fails and close them verifiably.

ALCOA+

Electronic Records & Signatures

We implement the requirements of Annex 11 and 21 CFR Part 11 in the system and in operations: from access control to audit trail review.

Pillar 4

Quality & QMS

Quality is created in operations, not on paper. We work within your QMS, close gaps and make you inspection-ready before the auditor arrives.

QMS Support

We work within your quality management system: SOPs, specifications and reports that work in daily practice, not just sit in a binder.

ICH Q10

Audit & Inspection Preparation

We prepare you for customer audits and regulatory inspections: with gap analyses, for example against Annex 1 and Annex 11, and a prioritized action plan.

Annex 1 · Annex 11

CAPA & Change Control

Assessing deviations properly, closing actions effectively, managing changes under control: this keeps the qualified state evidenced at all times.

GMP · ICH Q10

Digitalization & AI in the GxP Environment

We bring digital tools and AI into GxP operations in a way that keeps them validatable, with an eye on Annex 22, which is currently available as a draft.

Annex 22 (draft)

Details on QMS and GMP compliance

Pillar 5

Project Leadership & Management

Leading projects, aligning stakeholders, improving operations: we take responsibility for schedule, cost and compliance, and deliver in the engagement model that fits your project.

Project leadership & stakeholder alignment

We lead GxP projects across all project phases: with clear responsibilities, robust decision inputs and an alignment that brings operations, QA and suppliers to the same table.

GMP · service phases 1–5

Change & operational excellence

We introduce changes during ongoing operations in a controlled way and embed them for the long term: leaner workflows, less friction, measurably more stable processes.

GxP · ICH Q10

Flexible engagement models

Fixed price for clearly defined packages, Time & Material for scalable support or reinforcement directly in your team: you choose the model, we deliver the result.

How we work

Three ways to work with us

From a clearly defined package to reinforcement in your team: you choose the engagement model that fits the project situation and budget.

Fixed price

Clearly defined scope, fixed price, defined deliverables: full predictability for budget and schedule.

Predictability

Time & Material

Billing based on effort, transparent each month: scalable when scope and priorities shift.

Flexibility

Embedded in your team

Our engineers work directly within your organization: capacity and GxP expertise exactly where it is missing.

Expertise on site
EU-GMP Annex 15

Qualification is a lifecycle,
not a set of forms.

Five stages, one line of evidence: every requirement from the URS remains traceable through to the PQ.

01

URS – User Requirements

The URS defines what the equipment, system or utility must deliver: quality-relevant requirements are built in here, not tested in after the fact. It remains the point of reference across the entire lifecycle.

02

DQ – Design Qualification

The DQ provides documented evidence that the proposed design is GMP-compliant and fit for purpose. It is verified against the URS before anything is procured or built.

03

IQ – Installation Qualification

The IQ confirms that the installation matches the approved design: components, piping and instrumentation verified, calibrations recorded, materials and supplier documentation checked.

04

OQ – Operational Qualification

The OQ demonstrates that the equipment operates as specified across the intended operating ranges, including at the upper and lower operating limits (worst case). Only on this basis are SOPs and training finalized.

05

PQ – Performance Qualification

The PQ demonstrates that the equipment performs effectively and reproducibly under real operating conditions, tested with production materials or a qualified substitute. Where justified, it is combined with the OQ.

Regulations

The framework we work in

GMP, GAMP 5, Annex 11 and 15 as well as ALCOA+ are our daily business at the equipment. The remaining frameworks form the environment our customers operate in: we know it and are honest about where our focus lies.

Frequently asked questions about our services

What do clients want to know before starting?

Is Vispact a GMP consultancy?

Yes, but not an ordinary one: GMP consulting with execution. Analysis and action plan are part of it; what matters is what follows: we execute on site in running GMP operations, from qualification to SOP.

How quickly can your engineers start on site with us?

This depends on our current workload and is part of the honest assessment in the initial consultation. If we commit, we name a concrete start date that we stand by.

Do you take on the writing of qualification documents or only the review?

Both. We write the URS, plans, protocols and reports ourselves, or we rework existing documents so that they hold up in an audit.

Do you work in our QMS or with your own templates?

By default we work in your QMS and follow your SOPs. Where templates are missing, we bring proven structures and adapt them to your system.

Can DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ take place alongside ongoing operations?

Yes, that is our normal case. We plan qualification steps so that production and cleanroom operations continue, in coordination with production, QA and engineering.

Can a small team carry our project?

We deliberately take on only mandates we can lead with direct responsibility. You work with the engineers who do the work, not with an account team. We state where our limit lies in the initial consultation, not after the contract is signed.

In which regions do you operate?

Our location is Visp in Valais. We work on site with clients in Switzerland and Germany, including longer assignments directly in operations.
