Matrix Quality

What Is Matrix Quality?

Matrix Quality, formerly known as Simploud, is a cloud-based electronic Quality Management System (eQMS) for life science and medtech companies. It offers document management tools that support collaborative review and approval with full traceability. The platform also includes training management features that assign role-based training and track completion through a training matrix. These tools help teams manage quality records and prepare for regulatory inspections without relying on spreadsheets or separate systems.

Matrix Quality is best known for its Trial Master File (TMF) management. It helps teams maintain complete and current TMF records through configurable workflows and built-in compliance logic within the same platform. The software is a strong fit for teams handling clinical trial documentation, moving away from separate TMF systems and disconnected quality tools, or managing multiple trials at once.

Matrix Quality Use Cases

Based on our analysis of Matrix Quality's current capabilities, we have identified key scenarios where this software is a good fit for life science and medtech organizations:

1. Medical Device And Pharmaceutical Companies Managing Controlled Documents

Companies developing regulated products must keep SOPs, technical files, and specifications current in every department. Locating the latest approved version and confirming who signed off on it can be difficult when documents live in shared drives or email threads. Matrix Quality may help quality teams route documents for review and approval with a traceable version history.

2. Clinical Trial Sponsors Managing Trial Master File Documentation

Sponsors running clinical trials with multiple sites must keep Trial Master File records complete and up to date throughout the study. Missing or outdated documents can be hard to catch when files are scattered among different sites and study teams. Matrix Quality could help clinical operations teams organize TMF documentation through configurable workflows ahead of sponsor or regulatory review.

3. Manufacturing Teams Tracking Batch And Material Records

Manufacturers of regulated products need to trace materials, shipments, and quantities back to a specific production batch when something goes wrong. Identifying the batch linked to a non-conformance can take time when records are kept separately from quality events. Matrix Quality may support manufacturing and quality teams investigating deviations linked to batch or material records.

4. Regulatory Affairs Teams Managing Product Registrations

Companies registering products in multiple regions need to track submission status, variations, and renewal deadlines for each market. Spreadsheets and email threads make it hard to know where a registration actually stands. Matrix Quality centralizes submission tracking for filings such as 510(k), IND, NDA, or EU MDR, giving regulatory teams one place to check status.

5. Organizations Managing Role-Based Training Compliance

Regulated companies need proof that employees are trained on the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and procedures tied to their role. Without a central record showing who completed what training and when takes more effort than it should. Matrix Quality lets compliance and quality teams assign role-based training and track completion through a training matrix they can produce during an audit.

Is Matrix Quality Right For You?

If your organization operates in the life sciences or medtech sector and manages regulated quality processes, Matrix Quality could be a strong fit. Its low-code configurability means quality workflows can be adjusted without much custom development. The platform is trusted by more than 500 companies, including Byteflies, Clue, and Meril, and supports compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, GxP, and ISO standards.
