AI-Powered Quality Assurance for GDP Compliance

Ensuring GDP Compliance – With Industry Expertise and AI

Consileon supports pharmaceutical manufacturers in efficiently reviewing processes, supply chains, and documentation for compliance with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines—automated, traceable, and language-independent.

Pharmaceutical companies are subject to strict regulatory requirements under the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines, which safeguard the quality, integrity, and traceability of medicines throughout the entire supply chain—from international suppliers to in-house storage, all the way to delivery to pharmacies, hospitals, or wholesalers.

To demonstrate GDP compliance, pharmaceutical companies must regularly undergo comprehensive audits. These reviews are time-consuming, complex, and demand a high degree of precision. Adding to the challenge, rising regulatory requirements meet a limited pool of experienced auditors—driving up costs. Non-compliance with GDP can have serious consequences, ranging from license revocation and heavy fines to reputational damage and legal risks.

Consileon offers an AI-powered solution that helps pharmaceutical companies streamline the review of GDP-relevant processes, policies, and documents, and prepare for certification. To address the global nature of pharmaceutical supply chains, the AI solution is designed for multilingual use.

Practical Expertise Meets AI: Our Solution Is Built on Experience

Our software is powered by a unique body of knowledge derived from numerous GDP audits. This has led to the development of a catalog containing over 300 main questions and hundreds of sub-questions, forming the foundation of every GDP audit. Previously, all required documents—such as internal quality management policies, supplier records, or delivery notes from domestic and international sources—had to be manually reviewed and matched against these questions. We have transferred this comprehensive audit expertise into a powerful Large Language Model (LLM) that automatically analyzes and assesses documents, regardless of format or language, and provides a clear status on GDP compliance. The results are quality-assured: Our AI models are continuously monitored by Lighthouz AI to ensure full compliance with the EU AI Act.

Automated Review: Upload Documents, Let AI Analyze

Once set up, GDP auditors can easily upload relevant documents through an intuitive interface or API. Naturally, your data is securely protected at all times. Thanks to multi-tenant architecture, no one else can access your SOPs, audit protocols, or other sensitive documents. The AI automatically analyzes content—regardless of language—to assess GDP compliance. It uncovers critical gaps, potential errors, or ambiguous language using a comprehensive set of audit questions. The results are presented in a familiar traffic light system: Green indicates full compliance, Yellow highlights minor issues or ambiguities, Red signals urgent action is required.

Expert Oversight: Auditor Review

Despite automation, human expertise remains crucial to the process. For every assessment, the tool provides a detailed explanation along with the exact text reference from the reviewed document. This allows the auditor to transparently understand the AI’s reasoning and independently determine whether to confirm or override its assessment—in line with the Human-in-the-Loop principle. As a result, the final evaluation remains in expert hands, ensuring the highest standards of quality and accountability.

4

On-Site Verification: Aligning Documentation with Reality

The next step is the on-site verification. The auditor ensures that documented processes and conditions are actually implemented in practice—a critical element of every audit. By handling the time-consuming document analysis, AI frees up auditors to focus more thoroughly on this essential component, reducing the burden of sifting through (digital) paperwork.

5

Traceability: Reporting for Internal and External Requirements

Finally, the system generates comprehensive reporting on GDP compliance. This report can be used internally for documentation purposes and externally as proof for authorities or certification bodies—in a manner that is transparent, verifiable, and audit-proof.
