Case Study: Dechra Pharmaceuticals achieves faster paperless validation with Kneat Solutions

How Dechra streamlined C&Q and CSV

Dechra Pharmaceuticals PLC, a leading animal health company, sought to eliminate inefficient paper-based validation processes to achieve greater efficiency and compliance in its Computer System Validation (CSV). Their challenge was to digitalize all stages of their risk-based enterprise CSV to optimize data integrity, reduce time consumption, and support potential future equipment-based activities, moving away from a system prone to human error and delays.

The solution was implemented by Kneat's partner, VEQTOR, which utilized the Kneat Gx platform and pre-configured 'Program Packs.' This approach dramatically accelerated the deployment, cutting the usual implementation time and effort in half by bypassing extensive custom process mapping. As a result, Dechra achieved a 12% reduction in protocol development time and the ability to fast-track projects with compliant, ready-to-deploy templates. Kneat's intuitive system provided enhanced traceability and real-time reporting, leading to significant efficiencies in their validation processes.
