What Rephine does

Rephine is a UK-headquartered professional services firm founded in 1998 that provides independent third-party GMP auditing, GxP consultancy, and regulatory compliance services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device manufacturing industries. The company operates from offices in Stevenage (HQ), Barcelona, Shanghai, and Hyderabad, with auditor coverage extending across Europe, the US, South America, Japan, South Korea, and India. Its core products include Third Party Audits (on-demand, shared, and bespoke), a Global Audit Library of pre-existing GMP audit reports spanning 2,500+ products and 1,485+ audits, Regulatory Services (eCTD submissions, dossier review, variation management), GxP Readiness, Computer Systems Validation, QMS Advisory, and Training Services, with the Rephine MedTech sub-brand dedicated to medical device MDR/IVDR compliance.

The company's technology backbone is the Rephine Connect cloud-based portal, which provides real-time audit tracking, document management, CAPA workflow, integrated messaging, and interactive analytics for client engagement. Rephine is technology-agnostic on QMS advisory, maintaining implementation partnerships with Veeva, Honeywell Trackwise, Greenlight Guru, Valgenesis, and MasterControl. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements: per-audit fees, audit library report sales, project-based GxP and QMS consulting, recurring 3-year re-audit cycles, and training programs, with quote-based pricing and a free 30-minute discovery consultation entry point. Distribution combines enterprise field sales, inside sales, the self-serve Rephine Connect portal, and a channel partnership with Pharmaoffer.

Core offering

Rephine is a pharmaceutical audit and GxP compliance consultancy that performs independent third-party GMP audits of drug substance, finished product, and medical device manufacturers, and delivers regulatory, quality, and computer systems validation advisory. It also operates the Global Audit Library, the largest repository of live GMP audit reports (2,500+ products) available for purchase, supported by the Rephine Connect web portal for real-time audit tracking and CAPA management.

Product overview

Rephine is a portfolio of professional services (not a single software product) focused on GMP compliance, quality assurance, and regulatory advisory across the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device manufacturing supply chain. The offering is organized around several core consulting and audit service lines: the Global Audit Library (with 2,500+ live GMP audit reports), Third Party Audits (supply-chain GMP inspections to ICH Q7/Q9), Regulatory Services (dossier review, eCTD submissions, lifecycle management), Auditee Support, GxP Readiness, Computer Systems Validation, QMS Advisory (platform-agnostic, with partnerships including Trackwise, MasterControl, Veeva, Valgenesis, and Greenlight Guru), Training Services, and Rephine MedTech (medical device regulatory compliance sub-brand). A digital portal called Rephine Connect provides a web-based interface for audit tracking, document management, CAPA workflows, and analytics. Rephine does not sell a standalone software product; its portfolio comprises professional services, proprietary report libraries, and a web-based client portal.
