Product Description

Orcanos quality management system keeps all the information required in order to control the quality processes in a single point of access. It enables companies to eliminate paper-based quality processes while adhering to strict FDA regulations and ISO quality standards.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

We were on the ALM side; Two frustrated engineers spend their time on documentation, records, and bureaucracy, instead of inventing stuff, testing electrical circles, and identifying bugs. We hoped for better processes.

For highly regulated companies, 10% of revenues are spent on compliance management. And still, it’s hard to find engineers who spend most of their time on development. Moreover, compliance takes time - it’s not simple to connect and integrate between two typecasts - the R&D and the Quality teams.

So we developed the first and only SaaS solution that integrates ALM and QMS. Now, each party can focus on what does best (and loves). Put happiness aside; this is a new holistic approach – more effective, simpler, smoother, better – a new method to interconnect and manage cross-organizational processes.

A new way to comply. This is us. This is Orcanos.

What do you like best about Orcanos?

As a frequent user of the platform, processing over 400+ documents a year with release and update, using the system daily. Orcanos is great for quality document control and supporting changes and release of work. It has a great mechanisim for keeping track of items and ensuring up to date release using DMS items and ECO features. This is where it shines and it most effective.

Customer support, is responsive and sufficent for addressing any issues. But these issues could also be avoided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orcanos?

The general UX interface of the platform is very complex with a lot of unecesarry clicks and fields which could be simplified. While all these processes have purpose and are effective it could be simplified and more adapable. This greaty diminished the ease of use.

There is also a issue with lag and crashing on occasion which can be frustrating.

When it comes to doing bulk work, controling and updating 400+ documents presents and makes the platforms draw backs very clear. It does not make doing bulk release very simple and has a lot of back and forth or external windows or task panes to achieve the final outcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Orcanos solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a UX design engineer Orcanos main role, day to day, is to support clear revision control and release of documentation. This could be technical drawings, user guides, opperationg procedures etc. This includes effective quality control and release to stake holders, along with implimentation of training and review.

Orcanos provides a method for clear revision control and also a release process which is the main benifit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Orcanos?

On careful consideration, I selected Orcanos for the second time. Four years ago, I implemented Orcanos at Third Pole Therapeutics. They are still using Orcanos and clearly quite happy.

In the interim, I implemented Arena as central eQMS for a consortium of start ups. At New View Surgical, we need a full solution; ALM, eQMS, pre and post market. My engineers wanted an intuitive interface, making it look similar to their current work. Orcanos is the only one that can do it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orcanos?

Any system has downsides; Orcanos is a lot when you are doing feasibility. But when you know you need a comprehensive solution. The flexibility comes at a cost of learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Orcanos solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to rapidly implement a full eQMS including post market activities, complaint handling, etc. Yet at the same time, bring our DHF to exemplary levels. I know that using Orcanos, I can keep my headcount down.

We need an eQMS as powerful as Arena, ALM to approach JAMA, yet integrate Defect Management across them both, while keeping price point at a fraction of those combined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Orcanos?

As software administrator, I like how it is possible to customize the configuration, especially the community organization.

A solution can contain multiple projects. A project can have multiple groups depending on the work people must do inside the project. A group can contain multiple users. A user can belong to different groups with different permissions and depending on the project, the correct group for the user can be selected to provide the access needed to do the requested work.

The granularity provides us enough flexibility to secure as much as possible access and data. It is easy to configure and maintain.

What do you dislike about Orcanos?

Sometimes, in the software administration, when we navigate to the different tabs, we do not see what we are editing initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Orcanos solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are managing requirements, risk management, test management inside different projects for the different releases of our product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
