Software enhancements for medical device, pharmaceutical and biotechnology teams support regulatory readiness, traceability and operational efficiency.

July 13, 2026 — QT9 Software, a global technology leader in Quality Management Software and ERP solutions, is proud to announce updates to QT9 ERP for 2026, the latest release of its manufacturing ERP platform designed to help regulated manufacturers handle growing operational complexity without adding overhead. Designed for life sciences organizations including medical device, pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers, QT9 ERP unifies manufacturing, inventory, purchasing and business operations in a single platform while supporting real-time visibility, traceability, efficiency and compliance.

Among the 2026 software updates are a new Rework module and a new Contract Manufacturing module. The Rework module allows users to generate and manage rework orders directly from returns, existing inventory or work in process through controlled workflows that maintain full traceability, eliminate disconnected tracking and help recover more value. The Contract Manufacturing module helps companies manage outsourced operations such as sterilization, coating, testing, packaging and overflow production inside the ERP. It delivers centralized visibility into outsourced work, connected purchasing and shipping workflows, traceable production history and integrated receiving back into production for stronger control and fewer handoff gaps.

QT9 ERP 2026 also introduces potency tracking embedded directly into work orders, in-process testing and electronic batch records, bringing potency data into a unified, audit-ready environment. This enables regulated manufacturers to track potency values across both production and inventory, supporting product consistency, documentation readiness and regulatory compliance. Paired with one-click electronic batch records, these enhancements also help teams produce documentation faster with less manual effort.

On the shop floor, users can now view all open material requirements in one place, print pick lists directly from the system and assign materials across multiple jobs. These enhancements improve coordination between planning and production, streamline material staging and allocation and help reduce delays and picking inefficiencies in fast-moving manufacturing environments.

The 2026 updates add new Avalara and ShipStation integrations to reduce manual work between systems. Avalara automates tax calculations to improve accuracy and reduce tax-related errors, while ShipStation enhances shipping and fulfillment with better control over the order-to-delivery process. A new AI-driven Help Center further improves day-to-day usability by giving users faster access to guidance and support directly within the system.

With support for cloud and on-premise deployments, a pre-validated platform and an available native integration with QT9 QMS, these 2026 enhancements help life sciences manufacturers simplify compliance while improving operational performance.
