## Overview

### Key benefits of AQ Platform

Always inspection-ready — never rebuilt site by site&#10;Current documents, approvals, e-signatures, delegation logs and CAPAs stay live and linked. When an inspection lands, readiness is on screen in seconds, not reconstructed from spreadsheets and email.&#10;&#10;One connected platform, not a stack of point tools&#10;eISF, eTMF, ePSF, CTMS, delegation, CAPA, QMS and reporting share a single environment and one audit trail. No reconciling evidence across disconnected systems, no integration tax.&#10;&#10;Adoption your frontline actually wants&#10;Built by researchers, for researchers. Coordinators, matrons and pharmacists get a simple, role-based view of what's missing and due today — so the platform gets used, not worked around.&#10;&#10;Oversight without the chasing&#10;Sponsors, CRAs and governance leads see what's filed, signed, overdue and at risk across every study, site and country in real time — visibility generated automatically from the work teams already do.&#10;&#10;Native pharmacy control inside the site file&#10;Pharmacy documentation, IP accountability and dispensing records live in the same governed environment as the rest of the trial — not bolted on through a separate workaround.&#10;&#10;Built to scale across sites and countries&#10;Role-based access, site and trial segregation and central document control let every site work locally while the hub sees network-wide readiness in one place.&#10;&#10;Compliance-grade you can prove&#10;Engineered to ICH-GCP E6(R3), 21 CFR Part 11, ALCOA++, EMA and GxP/GAMP 5, with ISO 27001/22301 alignment and an evidence pack ready for review — tried and tested in live NHS research.&#10;&#10;Pricing that won't be beaten&#10;Simple, custom pricing — one platform price or per trial — with onboarding, training and support included. Have a comparable quote? We'll match or beat it.

## Reviews

> **Amdadur** | *November 24, 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10

> 
> **Cons**: There was not much that I did not like from the AQ Platform.

### "AQ is amazing" — 5.0/5

> **Angie** | *October 31, 2023* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the ability to see all appointments that are booked,  colour coded by study  for ease and speed. Moving appointments is easy,  checking against protocol windows.  The AQ app is amazing to improve study compliance and reduce admin time contacting participants to remind them.  Sending texts and emails in bulk to participants is fantastic as this has allowed us to invite participants to be studies and ensures that we fill spaces fast. The system is really easy to use and makes us look really professional and current.
> 
> **Cons**: Filters can stick on long windows therefore the system can crash when searching how many appointments within a set window. If using on your mobile,  the appointments can be moved too easily in error.
> 
> This has revolutionised the way we work and improved efficiencies and study compliance reducing admin time spent sending reminders.

### "Great product" — 5.0/5

> **Kostas** | *September 27, 2023* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy of booking appointments and making communication possible across the team. Great team, always approachable and keen to help.
>

### "Absolutely essential for clinical research trials\!" — 5.0/5

> **Ashleigh** | *October 10, 2023* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's so easy to use for resource planning as it highlights busy and quiet times in a simple visual way. You can plan yours and yours team day/week as all appointments are organizsed in study, time and date order. The filter option is great for those who only need to see what they are working on.
> 
> **Cons**: As a user, I can't access a search bar to quickly search for an event so I have to scroll back and fourth until I find what I'm looking for.
> 
> AQ has been an piece of essential software for our busy team. Previously we have used outlook to track appointments and our clinical staff spent hours calling and arranging appointments with our trial participants. AQ has saved us so much time and enabled our team to run more efficiently. In the labs we can plan our week by visually checking the busy and quiet days, we can prepare reagents etc for these events. Each day we print off a list to monitor our sample flow and confirm sample receipt in the labs which is super helpful for sample tracking. I don't know how we would function without this now\!

### "AQ:daily use" — 5.0/5

> **Valerie** | *October 23, 2023* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to see with clear and concise viewing of the content .It updates very quickly and is useful to note any changes when samples arrive and when a cohort cancels their appointment
> 
> **Cons**: remembering the password as it has six relating to access and i have to write them down with the order of numbers constantly changing .Could be shorter and there needs to be a clearer way to set up your own passwords
> 
> Very good

It unifies your electronic Investigator Site File (eISF), electronic Trial Master File (eTMF), electronic Pharmacy Site File (ePSF), CTMS, delegation of authority, CAPA, quality management (QMS), reporting, version control and multi-site oversight in one inspection-ready environment, so the people who do the work spend less time filing and more time delivering trials.\n\nMost point tools digitise the binder and stop there. AscensionQ turns the site file into a live control layer. Frontline teams work in a simple, role-based view: find the current protocol, sign a delegation entry, return a document in seconds. Meanwhile sponsors, CRAs and governance leads get real-time visibility of what is filed, signed, overdue and at risk, across every study, site and country, with no separate trackers to maintain.\n\nEngineered against the standards inspectors expect worldwide, AscensionQ is built to ICH-GCP E6(R3), 21 CFR Part 11, ALCOA++, EMA computerised-systems expectations and GxP / GAMP 5, with ISO 27001 / 22301 alignment and an information-governance evidence pack available for technical review. It is tried and tested in live NHS research, from single-site adoption at Liverpool University Hospitals to a 300+ user QMS and CAPA deployment co-developed with the Royal Free, proven in one of the world's most demanding regulatory environments.\n\nWhy teams choose AscensionQ\n\nOne connected platform, not a stack of point tools: eISF, eTMF, ePSF, CTMS, delegation, CAPA, QMS and reporting in one place, with a single audit trail.\nAdoption-first, built by researchers, for researchers: a clean working view for frontline teams, with oversight generated automatically from the work they already do.\nInspection-ready by design: current documents, approvals, e-signatures, delegation records and CAPAs always live and linked, visible on screen rather than rebuilt site by site.\nNative pharmacy control (ePSF): pharmacy files, IP accountability and dispensing records inside the same governed environment.\nBuilt for multi-site and multi-country programmes: role-based access, site and trial segregation and central document control, with sponsor and hub visibility of readiness across every site.\nModules\n\neISF 2.0: structured folders and templates, version control, e-signature, delegation records and a live readiness view.\neTMF and ePSF: trial master file and native pharmacy site file, with templates by study and site, IP accountability, approvals and granular access by role.\nCTMS: study and site management, milestones, monitoring visits, enrolment metrics and budget tracking.\nDelegation of Authority: signed, version-controlled delegation logs and authority records, linked to training and roles.\nCAPA management: turn a document or quality issue into a logged deviation, corrective action, preventive action and resolution trail.\nQuality management (QMS): controlled SOPs and documents, training records and quality workflows linked to CAPA.\nReporting: configurable dashboards and exports across studies, sites, documents and quality metrics.\nMulti-site oversight and Study Command Centre: a readiness view of document status, signatures, overdue and at-risk items, plus a cross-site readiness grid.\nConfigured to your operating model, with hub-and-spoke document distribution, pharmacy hub flow and inspection-readiness scoring.\n\nWho it is for\nCROs, biotech and pharma sponsors, research sites and site networks, academic and non-commercial research institutions, R&amp;D and quality teams, clinical operations and trial managers, and clinical trials pharmacy teams.\n\nStop rebuilding inspection readiness site by site.
