Case Study: Linical, a global CRO, achieves rapid deployment and streamlined document management with Qualio

Linical Uses Qualio to Streamline CRO Efforts and Help Biotech and Pharma Companies Secure Regulatory Approval

Linical, a global contract research organization (CRO) founded in 2005, faced scaling challenges after merging with Accelovance that made paper-based and home-grown documentation systems untenable. To standardize and modernize quality processes, Linical adopted Qualio as its enterprise quality management system (eQMS), replacing fragmented systems and addressing needs around document management, usability, and audit readiness.

Qualio was implemented across the organization (now supporting more than 950 global users), delivering rapid deployment, simplified document workflows, and stronger audit support. Linical reports faster review cycles, reduced need for dedicated document managers, and immediate document retrieval via hyperlinks—capabilities Tyler Cochran, Executive Director of Quality at Linical Americas, credits with making Qualio far easier to use and maintain than larger QMS alternatives.
