GxP-compliant cleaning documentation. Across every building.

End-to-end proof for daily, weekly and high cleaning — from the personnel airlock to the office. Audit-ready under EU GMP Annex 11.

problem

GxP audit incoming. Cleaning evidence unclear.

In an FDA or EMA inspection only what is cleanly documented counts. Excel lists and paper protocols stopped being enough for daily, weekly and high cleaning long ago.
01 / EVIDENCE
Cleaning evidence with gaps?
Excel lists, paper protocols, missing timestamps. In an inspection only what is cleanly documented counts.
02 / OVERVIEW
Several buildings, no overview?
When manufacturing, lab and office are managed separately, the holistic view is lost. Who cleaned where, and when?
03 / VALIDATION
GMP validation of cleaning possible?
Define cleaning types and intervals separately, document them, and prove them in audit — without Excel workarounds.
How LiteLog solves it

GxP-validated. Audit ready. Out of the box.

Five building blocks for cleaning documentation in regulated pharma environments — from personnel airlock to office. Validation package optional.
NFC cleaning start per area
Cleaning staff scan the tag at the area entrance, pick the cleaning type (daily / weekly / high) and start documentation. Hash-signed, immutable.
Cleaning validation
Protocols per Annex 11, complete audit trail, ALCOA+ compliant. Each cleaning type with its own checklist and documentation depth.
Multi-site overview
Every building in one view. See which areas were cleaned when and how — manufacturing, lab and office at a glance.
Audit trail per 21 CFR Part 11
Electronic record with signature, tamper-proof, FDA-inspection-ready. Every cleaning action attributable and provable.
External providers cleanly governed
Dedicated logins for cleaning companies, separate ownership per area, complete evidence per provider — audit-ready even on provider switch.
Typical workflows

From daily wipe-down to high cleaning.

Three building blocks that hold up in every regulated pharma environment: differentiated cleaning types, selection before work starts, and tiered documentation depth per zone.

Flexible cleaning types

Daily, weekly, monthly cleaning, high cleaning, separate surface and cable channel cleaning — each type with its own interval, its own checklist and its own documentation depth.

Selection before work starts

Staff pick the cleaning type at the terminal or mobile device before starting. The system documents start, duration, area and person automatically. Works for in-house staff and external cleaning teams alike.

Tiered documentation

Sensitive zones (personnel airlocks, Class B/C): full protocol with timestamp and signature. Less critical areas (offices): a simple confirmation "done" is enough.

Hardware for zones without mobile signal

NFC for areas. Terminal for critical actions.

In zones where private mobile devices are not allowed, we ship validated terminals and NFC-capable industrial devices. Cleaning staff authenticate with a tag, pick the cleaning type and start documentation — fully offline-capable.
Wall terminalNFC tag per areaOffline modeAirlock-suitableIndustrial tablet (optional)

In pharma, the rule is: the more critical the area, the stronger the authentication. Wall terminal at the airlock, NFC tag in the office wing, industrial tablet for mobile cleaning teams.

Example · Personnel airlock Class B

No mobile phone needed. Offline-capable. Annex 11-compliant.

FAQ

Common questions from pharma QA & facility.

Questions from QA leadership meetings and facility workshops. A short call clarifies it in 10 minutes.

Yes. Daily, weekly, monthly and high cleaning — each with its own interval, its own checklist and its own documentation depth. Separate surface and cable channel cleanings can also be defined as their own types.
The multi-site overview shows every building in a single view. Per area, you see when which cleaning type was performed by whom — manufacturing, lab and office side by side, filtered by building, cleaning type or time range.
Yes. We ship validated wall terminals and NFC-capable industrial tablets. Authentication via tag, selection of the cleaning type, fully offline-capable — sync happens as soon as the device is back online.
Yes. You configure documentation depth per area. Sensitive zones (airlocks, Class B/C) get a full protocol with timestamp and signature, offices get a simple "done" confirmation. All in the same system, all audit-trail-capable.
We deliver a complete validation package: IQ, OQ and PQ protocols, CSV plan, change-control SOPs, ALCOA+ data integrity assessment. QA handover in 4–6 weeks.
You — but we support. Joint audit support with QA: inspector access, audit trail export, live answers to inspector questions. Across 14 pharma customers, zero critical observations on cleaning documentation.
For pure guard tours and security routes we offer a dedicated system — that spares cleaning teams unnecessary complexity. See Guard Tour System (under Industry — Security Services).
