Wherefour introduces Control Points, a new feature that adds workflow checkpoints, digital audit trails, and lot-level testing, quarantine, and traceability. Built for manufacturers in regulated industries, it helps enforce preventive control checkpoints, ensuring consistency, compliance, and accountability at every stage.
PETALUMA, Calif., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wherefour, a leading ERP platform for regulated manufacturers, has expanded its compliance toolkit with Control Points, a feature that embeds preventive control checks directly into day-to-day production processes.
This addition strengthens Wherefour's ERP platform as a unified solution for inventory, production, and compliance management.
Control Points make essential verifications mandatory within production workflows, ensuring checks are completed before operations continue and eliminating skipped or incomplete steps. Checkpoints can be placed before, between, or after key production stages and be based on quantity, time or production output.
Each Control Point automatically records results, users, timestamps, and override reasons, producing a defensible digital audit trail for customer and regulatory reviews. Override data stays visible, improving CAPA documentation and traceability during investigations.
"With Control Points, manufacturers can enforce critical quality and compliance checks directly within their production workflows," said Matthew Brown, CEO at Wherefour. "Every verification is performed, recorded, and traceable, giving teams greater confidence in consistency, accountability, and audit readiness."
How Control Points improve operations:
- Reduced deviations and rework through standardized checks
- Faster investigations and recalls through lot- and batch-level traceability
- Enterprise scalability with configurable Control Points by workflow, team, or site
- Customizable test and task list functions with various approval and signature stages.
- Compliance without slowdown through scanning, weighing, and auto-complete integration
- Built in accountability and training that offer step-level instructions at the exact moment of execution.
Control Points build on Wherefour's traceability foundation, enabling real-time compliance, accountability, and production oversight into one streamlined platform.
