Pharmaceutical SOPs, Drafted and Maintained with AI

Film procedures or import existing GMP documents as PDFs. AI drafts structured SOPs your team reviews. Organize by process area, control who can edit, and route each new version through approval. Version history keeps every revision.

The problem

The Challenges

GMP documentation is time-consuming

Creating and maintaining compliant SOPs across dozens of procedures is a significant time investment. Documentation backlogs delay production and risk audit findings.

Regulatory changes require rapid SOP updates

When GMP requirements evolve, every affected SOP must be updated, approved, and deployed quickly. Paper-based systems create dangerous delays.

Version control across multiple documents is error-prone

Tracking which version of each SOP is current, and ensuring no one follows an outdated procedure, is a constant compliance risk.

What changes

How SOPX Solves This

01

AI-drafted SOPs your team completes

Film your procedures and let AI draft structured SOPs. Add GMP-specific details, warnings, and specifications. Review, approve, and publish.

02

Built-in approval workflows

Route SOPs through approval before publishing. Designated reviewers sign off on every version, and an optional four-eyes rule blocks self-approval. On Premium and Enterprise, multi-step approval chains add ordered stages such as QA then Regulatory. Changes and approvals are recorded in a read-only procedure history with names and timestamps.

03

Complete version history

Full version history with labels, timestamps, and change tracking. Previous versions are preserved and accessible.

Key terms

GMP Change Control

The formal, documented system used in regulated manufacturing to propose, assess, approve, implement, and verify any change that could affect product quality.

Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)

On-farm and post-harvest practices addressing food safety, worker health and safety, the environment, and quality in producing and handling fresh produce and other crops.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)

A systematic, preventive food-safety system that identifies biological, chemical, and physical hazards and controls them at critical control points, built on seven principles.

ISO 9001 Work Instructions

The most detailed tier of quality-system documentation: task-level instructions that show how to perform a single step. ISO 9001 allows them but does not require them.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

01Is SOPX validated for GMP or 21 CFR Part 11?
No. SOPX is not a validated system. It does not offer 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures, and its procedure history is not a full audit trail. What it gives you is structured, versioned SOPs, approval sign-off before publishing, and a read-only procedure history of what changed, who changed it, and when. Teams use it to draft, maintain, and train on SOPs. Check with your QA team whether that fits your validation requirements.
02Does SOPX support approval workflows?
Yes. Turn on approvals and nothing publishes until a designated reviewer signs off: draft, submit for review, then approve and publish or request changes with a reason. An optional four-eyes rule blocks self-approval, and a read-only procedure history keeps every version and records who did what and when. Approvals are included on every plan and are off by default, so smaller teams can keep a simple review-and-publish flow. On Premium and Enterprise, multi-step approval chains send a version through ordered stages such as Technical review, QA, and HSE, with one or more approvers per stage. The last approval publishes the version.
03Can we export SOPs for audits?
Yes. Export SOPs to PDF or Word for audits and your document files. Public links let anyone with the link read a procedure, so keep them for SOPs that are not confidential. SOPX has no public API. Custom integrations with a quality management system are an Enterprise add-on, scoped and billed separately.
04How does SOPX handle change control?
Every SOP maintains a complete version history. When a change is needed, create a new version from the current one, edit it as a draft, route it through approval, then publish once a reviewer signs off. The full history (what changed, who changed it, when, and the version label) is kept in a read-only procedure history.
05How do I convert paper GMP SOPs into a controlled digital library?
Upload your existing GMP PDFs and AI parses each into a structured digital SOP with steps and images extracted automatically. Organize them into workspaces by process area, set who can edit, and let version history track every change from there. New revisions are routed through approval, signed off, and published, with prior versions preserved. SOPX is the fastest way to move a binder-based library into version-controlled digital SOPs.
06What size pharmaceutical operations does SOPX serve?
SOPX fits pharmaceutical operations teams of roughly 20 to 300 people that want structured, versioned SOPs and training records without a long implementation project. Start with a free trial. If you need a validated eQMS with Part 11 electronic signatures, SOPX is not that system.
