In a validated environment the maintenance record is a regulated document. Calibration state, change control, and who performed the work carry the same weight as the work itself — a CMMS that cannot produce defensible records is not usable here regardless of its other features.
Audit trail integrity is the gate. Electronic records need attributable, time-stamped, tamper-evident history — evaluate that before you evaluate anything else, because no amount of usability compensates for a record that won't survive an inspection.
The equipment that shows up in nearly every a pharmaceutical facility.
ChatterFix does not yet ship a dedicated onboarding pack for pharmaceutical & life sciences. You would start from the general manufacturing skeleton — assets, drives, conveyors, and compressed air — and extend the hierarchy with the equipment above. That takes longer than the three minutes an industry pack takes, and it is still considerably faster than building a CMMS from an empty database. If you run a pharmaceutical facility and want a pack built for it, tell us — customer demand is how we choose which pack to build next.
Start free, build your asset hierarchy from the general manufacturing skeleton, and let your technicians update it by voice.
