GMP facilities, cleanrooms and qualification
Completions software for GMP facilities where commissioning feeds directly into qualification.
In a regulated facility, commissioning evidence is the foundation the qualification effort stands on. Deskely holds installation and functional records against every asset in a controlled, signature-traceable way, so IQ and OQ start from good data instead of rebuilding it.

The problem
Qualification teams rebuild what commissioning already proved.
Construction and commissioning generate exactly the evidence — installation verification, calibration certificates, functional test results — that Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) protocols need, and then hand it over as scans that cannot be relied on for a GxP audit trail.
The result is duplicated testing, extended schedules and a quality team that starts from suspicion rather than from data.
Deskely captures commissioning records in a controlled structure with attributable signatures, so the qualification effort can leverage them instead of repeating them.
Setting up the register
Clean utilities and cleanrooms carry the heaviest evidence load.
Purified water, WFI, clean steam, process gases, HVAC and cleanroom envelopes are modelled as subsystems, with process equipment and instruments tagged beneath them.
P&IDs, equipment lists and instrument indexes are parsed into the register so calibration and installation records attach to the right instrument.
Criticality can be recorded per asset, which is what lets the heavier record set apply only where it is required.
Execution
Installation and functional checks are captured once, cleanly.
Installation verification against the P&ID, calibration status traceable to a certificate, material and component checks, and functional testing — including alarm and interlock response for direct-impact systems — are recorded against the asset with mandatory fields and photos.
Deviations are raised as punch and categorised, so what blocks qualification is separated from what does not.
Progress reports per system, which is how a qualification schedule is actually planned.
Turnover packages
The turnover package assembles itself because it was never separate.
System turnover packages export per subsystem with records, certificates, punch position, calibration references and supplier documentation.
Every entry carries the name, role and timestamp of the person who signed it, which is the basis of any data-integrity discussion.
The facility keeps that history for change control long after the project team has left.
Commissioning as qualification input
IQ does not start from zero. It starts from the commissioning record, if that record was captured to survive an audit.
The industry-recognised approach — commissioning and qualification run as one continuous, risk-based process rather than two separate efforts — only works if the commissioning evidence is attributable, contemporaneous and unaltered from the moment it is captured. A PDF scan of a paper form signed a week after the work was done does not meet that bar, whatever the date on it says.
Deskely captures installation verification, calibration references and functional test results at the point of work, with the signer's name, role and timestamp locked to the record the instant it is signed. Criticality assessment — direct-impact system or not — is recorded per asset, so the quality organisation can see exactly which records were captured at GxP rigour and which were not, rather than assuming uniform rigour across a facility that does not need it everywhere.
When the qualification team picks up a direct-impact system, the commissioning record set behind it is already structured the way a leveraged commissioning and qualification approach expects: traceable, criticality-tagged, and ready to be referenced from an IQ protocol rather than re-executed as if it never happened.
How it runs
From construction records to qualification-ready packages.
The value in a regulated project comes from capturing evidence once, in a structure the quality organisation can accept.
- 01
Model systems and criticality
Cleanrooms, clean utilities and process systems tagged, with criticality recorded per asset.
- 02
Template the record set
Installation, calibration and functional checks defined per equipment and instrument type.
- 03
Control the signatures
Every record signed with name, role and timestamp, retained unaltered for the life of the facility.
- 04
Execute on tablet
Field capture with mandatory fields and photos, so records are complete when they are signed.
- 05
Separate blocking deviations
Punch categorised by whether it blocks qualification, with owners and due dates.
- 06
Export turnover packages
Per-system packages issued to the qualification and quality teams as evidence, not as scans.
