Digital Life Sciences GmbH

Sin­ce 2007, we as Di­gi­tal Life Sci­en­ces GmbH are the part­ner of d.velop AG for GxP-com­pli­ant do­cu­men­ta­ti­on so­lu­ti­ons. Thi­lo Gu­kel­ber­ger and Die­ter Schul­ten ma­na­ge the com­pa­ny with the long-time ex­per­ti­se of for­mer em­ployees of d.velop AG. Thus, we are also si­gni­fi­cant co-in­ven­tors of our ba­sic pro­duct d.velop do­cu­ments (form­er­ly d.3ecm), which is now used by more than 13,750 cus­to­mers world­wi­de as a cen­tral ECM/DMS/archive sys­tem. Our so­lu­ti­ons see them­sel­ves as a com­ple­men­ta­ry sup­ple­ment to d.velop do­cu­ments (form­er­ly d.3ecm). They pri­ma­ri­ly ad­dress do­cu­ment-ba­sed pro­ces­ses of manufacturing/production and the qua­li­ty ma­nage­ment. In ad­di­ti­on to our cus­to­mers of the clas­si­cal Life Sci­en­ces in­dus­try (phar­maceu­ti­cal, me­di­cal tech­no­lo­gy, food sup­ple­ments, cos­me­tics), also cus­to­mers from the steel in­dus­try and the ser­vice sec­tor trust our solutions.

Software that makes sense

We de­ve­lop soft­ware that re­al­ly ful­fils the in­dus­try re­qui­re­ments of our cus­to­mers. That’s why our pro­ducts are de­ve­lo­ped in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with our cus­to­mers. All ne­ces­sa­ry func­tions are in­cluded, all un­neces­sa­ry ones are removed.

Within reach

Di­gi­ta­li­sa­ti­on made in Müns­ter­land, Ger­ma­ny. Our cont­act de­tails are ba­cked up by ge­nui­ne and ho­nest cont­acts. This makes our cus­to­mers feel that they are in good hands and makes it ea­sier for them to take the plun­ge into digitalisation. 

High level of expertise

With ye­ars of ex­pe­ri­ence in qua­li­ty ma­nage­ment and do­cu­ment ma­nage­ment soft­ware, we know exact­ly what is im­portant to our cus­to­mers. Our soft­ware is al­ways up to date with the la­test re­gu­la­ti­ons. This me­ans that our cus­to­mers don’t just have one pro­vi­der, but a part­ner at eye level. 

Reliable partner

Our cus­to­mers do not have to take the step towards di­gi­ta­li­sa­ti­on alo­ne. With re­lia­ble sup­port and cus­to­mi­sed pro­ject ma­nage­ment, we ac­com­pa­ny the im­ple­men­ta­ti­on and use as ex­ten­si­ve­ly as pos­si­ble — so that not only our cus­to­mers are se­cu­re, but also their data.

Value proposition & values

For us, digitalisation means security

We de­ve­lop soft­ware as a so­lu­ti­on for the chal­lenges of to­mor­row — from com­pli­ance with the la­test re­gu­la­ti­ons to the re­lia­ble sto­rage and or­ga­ni­sa­ti­on of do­cu­ments. Our cus­to­mers know whe­re their data is at all times.

We use our many ye­ars of ex­per­ti­se to help our cus­to­mers move for­ward. We know that this only works in a trus­ting partnership. 

Hand in hand — with security
