What Simplyqms does

SimplyQMS (legal entity Simply QMS LLC) is a private SaaS company headquartered in San Diego, California that provides a cloud-based electronic Quality Management System (eQMS) targeted at early-stage life sciences companies. The platform centralizes controlled document management, CFR 21 Part 11 compliant electronic signatures, training record assignment and tracking, scheduled reviews, on-demand reporting, and role-based access control in a single system intended to replace paper-based quality processes for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device startups preparing for regulatory audits and partnership diligence. The product is delivered as a multi-tenant cloud application accessible via a web client portal at app.simplyqms.com, with regulatory-compliant encrypted storage and full audit trails across document and training workflows.

The underlying technology is built around FDA-regulated compliance primitives: digital signatures that meet 21 CFR Part 11, automated workflow notifications for GxP activities, document numbering and versioning, and role segregation (Administrator, Author, read-only Employee). Eight discrete feature modules are marketed (Secure Storage, eSignatures, Document Workflows, Training Records, Reports, Reminders, Schedule Reviews, Role Based Access), with onboarding reportedly achievable in as little as one day. No public API, SDK, integrations, or third-party connectors are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through SaaS subscriptions billed monthly or annually, with company plans starting at $699 per month and a separate enterprise tier available for organizations between 5 and 5,000 employees. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, using a Calendly-based demo booking flow for prospects and an email channel ([email protected]) for inbound inquiries, with no reseller, partner, or marketplace distribution. Customer concentration is entirely within the early-stage life sciences vertical, and no external funding, institutional investors, or named enterprise customers are disclosed.
