GxP consulting for the pharmaceutical industry: from laboratory to production

Computer system validation, data integrity, equipment qualification and IT administration for drug manufacturers who must demonstrate EU GMP, Annex 11 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 in daily operations.

Our services for the pharmaceutical industry

In pharmaceutical projects, we safeguard computerised systems, data flows and qualified equipment throughout their lifecycle. We translate GxP requirements into robust IT and validation concepts that stand up in inspections and supplier audits. Whether LIMS rollout, ERP CSV or a global chromatography landscape: we know the interfaces between QA, subject-matter experts and IT.

Cross-system DI gap assessments for LIMS, chromatography and MES with ALCOA+ mapping and prioritised actions for GMP operations.
Validatable laboratory and production applications per GAMP 5 Category 5, including traceability matrix and Part 11-ready audit trail.
Hardened lab PCs, Active Directory, access concepts and logging for Annex 11 and Part 11 compliant GxP systems.
IQ, OQ and PQ for production equipment, HPLC systems, clean utilities and technical infrastructure across the GMP lifecycle.
GAMP 5 validation of ERP, LIMS, chromatography software and MES with risk-based evidence for EU GMP and FDA.
Steering CSV, LIMS and system rollouts from requirements analysis to GxP-released go-live across sites.

Where does your GxP project start?

Choose the area where your system or equipment sits. You get the matching starting point with a reference and a contact route.

Laboratory and QC: LIMS, chromatography, lab IT

Data integrity assessment for LIMS and chromatography software, hardened lab PCs and access concepts per Annex 11 and Part 11.

Pharma, medical technology and food follow different rulebooks, yet ask the same questions about data and equipment. For the pharmaceutical industry, we bundle the services that run from the first gap assessment to the released system.

FAQ: GxP advisory for the pharmaceutical industry

What does cube one mean by GxP advisory for pharma?
We secure computerised systems, data flows and qualified equipment from the lab to production. Focus areas are CSV per GAMP 5, data integrity, equipment qualification, IT administration and project management aligned with EU GMP, Annex 11 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
Which systems do you typically validate in pharma?
ERP, LIMS, chromatography software, MES, process control systems and lab IT, plus interfaces, validated spreadsheets and qualified infrastructure (servers, Active Directory, backup). See Computer System Validation (CSV) for details.
Do you support EU GMP and FDA in parallel?
Yes. We structure validation packages so EU GMP Annex 11 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 can be addressed together without duplicate documentation. For global rollouts we support sites in the DACH region and internationally, in German and English.
How do CSV and GAMP 5 category 5 software validation differ?
CSV at cube one covers purchased systems (GAMP categories 3 and 4). Custom development and bespoke interfaces are handled on the separate page Software Validation GAMP 5 Category 5, keeping topics and evidence clearly separated in audits.
Where can I find reference projects from pharma?
Selected case stories are listed below on this page. The full filtered overview is at pharmaceutical industry case stories, for example SYSPRO CSV, LabWare LIMS rollout or global Chromeleon administration.
