Identify Every Exception. Investigate. Conclude.
How DiscrepM – Discrepancy & Exception Management Software by goPLIMS gives regulated teams a structured, digitally signed, and fully auditable platform to capture, investigate, and formally close every discrepancy and deviation.
Discrepancy Management
In regulated environments, how you handle exceptions and discrepancies is as important as preventing them. Informal processes, undocumented deviations, and missing investigation records are among the leading causes of audit findings and compliance failures. DiscrepM by goPLIMS provides the structured, digitally signed, and fully auditable platform that regulated teams need — ensuring every exception is formally captured, rigorously investigated, and properly closed.
What is DiscrepM?
DiscrepM is a centralised, cloud-based discrepancy and exception management platform that provides a consistent and systematic approach to formally capturing, investigating, and resolving all exceptions, discrepancies, and project deviations throughout the project and work management lifecycle.
Incorporating digital signatures and a structured root cause analysis workflow, DiscrepM ensures every discrepancy is properly identified, assessed, documented, and closed — with full compliance, traceability, and accountability from initiation through to final approved closure. It eliminates the informal exception handling and compliance gaps that arise from paper-based or email-driven processes.
What You Can Do with DiscrepM
DiscrepM replaces fragmented, paper-based exception processes with a unified, compliance-ready digital platform — giving every stakeholder a clear, auditable record from first identification to verified closure.
Centralised Exception Logging
Capture and formally log all exceptions, discrepancies, and project deviations centrally — replacing scattered records with a single, searchable platform.
Structured Root Cause Analysis
Provide detailed descriptions and conduct thorough root cause analysis directly within the platform — documented, traceable, and audit-ready.
Digital Signature Approval Workflows
Route discrepancy records through compliant pre- and post-approval workflows with sequenced electronic signatures — ensuring proper authorisation at every stage.
Investigation Evidence & Attachments
Attach all supporting documentation and investigation evidence directly to each record — creating a complete, tamper-evident case file for every discrepancy.
Real-Time Status & Reports
Visualise open exceptions, investigation progress, and closure status online — with customised reports ready for regulatory review or internal audit at any time.
Tamper-Evident Audit Trail
Automatically log all investigation activities, approvals, and decisions — maintaining an unbroken, audit-ready record from identification through to verified closure.
Structured Root Cause Analysis & Investigation Workflow
DiscrepM’s most critical and distinctive capability is its built-in, compliance-ready investigation framework. Designed specifically for regulated and quality-driven environments, it ensures that every exception receives the rigorous investigation it demands — and that every decision is documented and signed.
Compliance-Ready Investigation Framework – Unique to DiscrepM
- Systematically identify, categorise, and assess the impact of every discrepancy — ensuring no exception is left undocumented
- Conduct & document through root cause analysis directly within the platform — with structured fields, evidence attachments, & notes
- Collaborate with electronic & digital signatures for pre-approvals & post-approvals — keeping every sign-off compliant, & recorded
- Maintain an audit-ready, tamper-evident record from identification through to verified closure — ready for inspection at any moment
No more informal exception handling. No undocumented deviations. No compliance gaps.
Every discrepancy is formally investigated, digitally signed, and completely traceable — from identification to closure.
Built on 3 Core Pillars
IDENTIFY
