Electronic Batch Record System Built for Pharma & Biopharma Manufacturing

KOŚA eBR is an electronic batch record system that replaces paper MBRs with a validated, workflow-driven digital record — capturing materials, equipment, personnel, and process data in real time. It’s the electronic batch record system that pharmaceutical organisations rely on for reducing review times, ensuring data integrity, and faster batch disposition while always remaining compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 & EU GMP Annex 11 — the standard electronic batch records pharmaceutical manufacturers are increasingly expected to meet during inspections.

From error-prone paperwork to right-first-time, compliant batch release.

Electronic batch records

What Is an Electronic Batch Record?

An electronic batch record, pharma teams rely on replaces the paper master batch record with a validated, digital equivalent capturing every material, piece of equipment, operator action, and in-process result as a batch moves through production. Pharmaceutical electronic batch records exist so that quality personnel can confirm SOPs, critical quality attributes, and critical process parameters were followed, and so that deviations are captured and investigated the moment they happen rather than discovered days later during a paper review. A master batch record (MBR) defines the recipe; electronic batch records document what happened, execution by execution. Get either piece wrong and the electronic batch record system stops being trustworthy at exactly the moment an inspector needs it to be.

Faster review

Faster, smarter batch reviews

Review-by-exception surfaces only true deviations, so QA spends its time on real risk instead of re-checking passing data.

Rapid deployment

Pre-validated for rapid deployment

A complete IQ/OQ package cuts validation cycles, shortening go-live by months without cutting corners on compliance.

Integration

Seamless system integration

Connects natively with ERP, QMS, LIMS, and shop-floor devices, no rip-and-replace, no added infrastructure.

Inside the record

What's Inside an Electronic Batch Record?

Although the specific format differs from organisation to organisation, the components of a pharmaceutical electronic batch record generally consist of the following common components, regardless of the medium it is being presented on, including a PDF, live dashboard for real-time release, or queryable table for R&D purposes:

Cross-functional alignment

One eBR. Every team is aligned.

Electronic batch records only pay off when every function trusts the same record. Here’s how KOŚA eBR aligns quality, manufacturing, and leadership:

Quality Assurance

Move from full-record review to review-by-exception, without losing oversight.

Manufacturing & Operations

Guide operators through each step with built-in checks that catch errors as they happen.

Regulatory & Compliance

Keep every batch defensible, long after it has shipped.

Management

See batch performance and compliance risk before they become a release delay.

Key capabilities

Everything modern ELOG software needs is on the floor.

KOŚA eLog is structured around the capabilities that separate real elogbook software from a digitised spreadsheet — configurability, traceability, and accessibility built into every template.

Automated Data Capture

Real-time, automated tracking of materials, equipment & process parameters — no manual transcription.

Review-by-Exception

QA reviews flagged deviations only, not entire records, shortening approval cycles.

Configurable Workflows

Approvals, routing & permissions tailored to your process, by role and by site.

Electronic Signatures

21 CFR Part 11 & EU Annex 11-compliant sign-offs embedded at every workflow step.

Recipe & MBR Management

Master batch records that adapt to product changes without re-validation overhead.

Mobile & Device-Agnostic

Execute and review batch steps securely from any device, on or off the line.

Reporting & Dashboards

Live production and compliance dashboards for audits and continuous improvement.

IoT & Equipment Connectivity

Direct integration with sensors and smart devices for accurate, real-time data.

User-Level Permissions & Security

Automatically flags discrepancies for QA, cutting manual review to the entries that actually need it.

Flexible Data Exports

Hands-free entry capture for operators working in gowned or hands-busy environments.

Complete Digital Records

One-click, audit-ready report exports without manual compilation.

Quality Metrics KPIs

Multiple users can work the same logbook simultaneously, in-document, without version conflicts.

Modular add-ons

Extend the batch record without adding another system.

KOŚA eBR goes beyond batch documentation, connecting to Weigh & Dispense and Manufacturing Analytics & OEE for complete process visibility on the same platform.

Weigh & Dispense

Guide operators through material weighing and dispensing with built-in accuracy checks, linked directly to the batch record for full raw-material traceability.

Manufacturing Analytics & OEE

Layer real-time line performance and equipment-efficiency dashboards on top of your batch data — no separate system, no duplicate entry.

Data integrity & compliance

Validated electronic batch records, built for GxP from day one.

Electronic batch records carry the same regulatory weight as their paper predecessors — so KOŚA eBR is engineered against the frameworks inspectors actually check.

Implementation

Choose a rollout strategy, then go live in 8–10 weeks.

GAMP 5 recognises two proven approaches to MES and eBR rollout. Pick the one that matches how your organisation scales:

Vertical Rollout

Implement one unit operation, say, Weigh & Dispense, across every site first, then move to the next operation. Builds a centre-of-excellence team fast and keeps each phase narrow.

Horizontal Rollout

Implement one product end-to-end across all its unit operations, then repeat for the next product. Delivers value faster per product, at the cost of more complex recipe authoring up front.

Week 1–2

Discovery & recipe mapping

MBR inventory, data-capture points & structured migration plan.

Week 3–5

Configuration & workflow build

Recipes, review-by-exception rules & e-signature routing configured to your SOPs.

Week 6–8

Validation & UAT

IQ/OQ execution and user acceptance testing, ready for QA sign-off.

Week 9–10

Go-live & training

Phased line-by-line go-live with operator training and hypercare support.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What distinguishes an MBR from an EBR?
The master batch record contains the recipe and procedures for producing a particular product. The electronic batch record captures all of the information regarding the production of the specific batch.
GMP requirements are adhered to via audit trail, electronic signature, role-based access, and data integrity within an electronic batch record system, allowing for each batch record to be independently valid during an inspection.
Yes. KOŚA eBR is designed to connect to ERP, QMS, LIMS, and manufacturing equipment, which means that no double entry will take place, and your existing systems will have all batch information at their disposal.
CSV is the documented process of verifying that an electronic batch record system functions as intended and meets regulatory requirements. KOŚA eBR ships with a complete IQ/OQ package, so CSV activities start from a validated baseline instead of a blank page.
Yes. For autologous cell and gene therapies, the entire batch record can be scoped to one patient’s material, tracking the chain of identity and chain of custody alongside the standard process, equipment, and material data.
