Case Study: Canterbury Scientific achieves streamlined production and improved quality processes with Greenlight Guru

How Ivd Manufacturer Streamlined Production and Improved Quality Processes With an Industry-specific Qms

Canterbury Scientific, a Christchurch-based OEM of IVD controls and calibrators with global markets (FDA, EU, China) and ISO 13485:2016 certification, was hampered by a heavily paper-based QMS that required physically circulating folders of 40–50 SOPs and ~250 work instructions. This made version control, change orders and nonconformance tracking slow and audit preparation difficult, so they evaluated electronic QMS options and selected Greenlight Guru’s IVD-focused eQMS/MDQMS.

Canterbury migrated documents and rolled out an enhanced internal-audit program on the Greenlight Guru platform, gaining out‑of‑the‑box regulatory workflows, immediate version control, automated tracking of quality events and change orders, and easier training. The result: seamless document uploads, daily use by staff, faster in‑moment decision making, completion of every internal audit on time that year, and “days of time saved”—what used to take six weeks now takes a much shorter period—demonstrating clear efficiency and compliance gains with Greenlight Guru.
