How Digital Batch Records Eliminate Bottlenecks in the Batch Release Process

You can’t scale manufacturing on paper. See how fast-growing companies are replacing slow, error-prone batch reviews with digital batch record software built for speed, clarity, and control.


Paper is Holding You Back

If you’re still using paper forms or clunky spreadsheets to manage production and QA, you already know the pain:

  • Missing or incomplete records
  • Data entry errors that delay approvals
  • Confusion over which forms are reviewed or verified
  • Manual processes that make traceability a nightmare

These aren’t just inefficiencies, they directly impact your ability to scale. Every delay in batch release is time lost, revenue deferred, and compliance risk increased.

Fast-moving companies need more than tools, they need systems built for growth. Elevated Signals is that system.

❌ Paper-based batch documentation slows down high-growth manufacturers

✅ Modern electronic batch record software gives teams an easy-to-use and scalable, audit-ready alternative


Designed for Teams that Don't Want to Slow Down

Elevated Signals replaces fragile paper trails and rigid ERP workflows with one flexible platform that connects your production, QA, and leadership teams in real time.

We call it clarity in motion - a unified view of your work, as it’s happening, with every record tracked, verified, and ready to go.

Feature Deep Dive: What You Can Do with Electronic Batch Records

📄 Build Smart Forms. No IT Required

With a drag-and-drop form builder, you can create exactly what your operation needs:

  • Batch selectors that auto-link records to production runs
  • Numeric and calculated fields (e.g. for tare, gross, and net weights)
  • Repeatable sections (e.g. for spot checks or inspections)
  • Math logic (e.g. to enforce tolerances)
  • Conditional validations to prevent incomplete submissions

Every form is structured, traceable, version-controlled, and easily customizable.

🕒 Capture Data in Real Time — During Production

No more waiting until the end of a run to complete paperwork and compile batch records. Your team can:

  • Fill in spot checks, logs, and inspections during the run
  • Save partial entries with an “In Progress” tag
  • Submit final records once all requirements are met

This ensures records are accurate, time-stamped, and production-aligned, reducing errors and delays.

✅ Review, Verify, and Lock with Built-In Workflows

Once submitted, records follow a structured review process:

  • Supervisors or QA staff can digitally verify entries
  • Verified records can be locked to prevent edits
  • Forms can be tagged with statuses (like “Corrections Required”)
  • All comments and actions are logged automatically

User permissions ensure only the right people can make changes, helping you maintain clean audit trails and faster release cycles.

Unlike legacy ERP tools or paper batch documentation systems, Elevated Signals gives QA teams real-time control over every release checkpoint.

🔁 Automate Record Requirements for Every Work Order

Reduce missed paperwork with smart automation:

  • Assign specific forms to each work order type
  • Automatically generate records when a work order is created
  • Prevent closure until all required forms are complete

Now, every batch has the right documentation - completed and submitted without manual follow-up from QA.

📊 Get the Metrics That Matter

Your records don’t just capture data — they unlock insights. Build dashboards and reports to track:

  • Right First Time (RFT) rates across batches
  • Verification lag across work orders or form types
  • Through put by form or team
  • Aging high-priority records or work orders

You can leverage dashboards to surface trends, catch bottlenecks, and support continuous improvement.

With clear dashboards and audit-ready digital records, you get a manufacturing execution system that supports continuous improvement and compliance at scale.


See What It Looks Like in the Real World

When Heritage Cannabis moved batch records into Elevated Signals, the results were immediate:

  • 50% reduction in QA admin time
  • Right-first-time improved from 51% to 80%+
  • 90% drop in filing time
  • Custom dashboards driving operational insight

Instead of chasing down paperwork, their teams now focus on execution, not administration. Everything they need is in one place — accurate, verified, and always audit-ready.

If You’re Evaluating Systems, Here’s What to Know

By this point, you're likely comparing options. Here’s what we hear from customers who’ve tried legacy ERPs, spreadsheets, or other batch record tools:

❌ Legacy ERPs & Paper-Based Systems ✅ Elevated Signals
Rigid, slow to implement Fast, flexible setup
High cost, low usability Built for the people doing the work
Poor visibility across teams One shared view, in real time
Reactive QA processes Proactive workflows with traceability

You need systems that match your speed, not ones that slow you down.
