Slingshot provides inventory control and manufacturing software for pharmaceutical companies.  This offering includes documentation to support the FDA requirement for software validation as specified in regulation 12CFRPart11.  A number of enhancements were added to this facility in release G2-16.1 including the ability to require and report an independent review of test results.

One hundred and fifty Operational Qualification (OQ) test scripts are provided with Slingshots applications.  These are “Click by Click” test scripts.  “Evidence” can be required for each test step (e.g., report, document or screen shot).  Slingshot’s customers can add their own scripts to validate configuration changes or to qualify unique operating procedures.  A Traceability Matrix ties the OQ scripts to documentation specifying the functionality being tested.  The Quality application accessed through Slingshot’s web site records the test results for each test script / test run.  A separate “Reviewer” user can be designated for each script.  The status of the script and software releases are maintained automatically.  A Validation Report shows all scripts, test results and reviewer confirmations.  Slingshot also provides Installation Qualification documentation.  This documentation is adjusted to comply with the customer’s operating environment.  Slingshot deploys its products “on premise” and “hosted” on Microsoft’s Azure cloud.

Slingshot announced it has completed its first year of document processing for Office Depot.  The Slingshot solution ingests all invoice documents received by Office Depot into Slingshot’s “Document Queues” workflow tool.  Documents can be received from a mailroom (scanned), uploaded from a customer portal, received as EDI, Email attachments or via file transport (FTP, SFTP).  Multiple document formats are supported (XLS, PDF, TIFF etc.).  Invoices are validated, GL coded, routed for user approval and passed to ERP for payment. 

Slingshot completed the first year of operation in April.  Over 7 million invoices were processed.  The benefits of the solution are lower handling costs, improved accuracy, compliance with corporate policies and auditability.  According to Paul Carr, Slingshot’s CEO, “The Office Depot project proves the Slingshot Applications hosted on Microsoft’s Azure platform can deliver excellent performance in demanding, high volume environments.  We believe this proof statement will open the door to future opportunities.”
