How Vektor Medical Accelerated Documentation Time by Over 60% with Ketryx

Customer pain points

Documentation and traceability slowed development

As an AI-first company, Vektor Medical uses modern development tools, but like most companies in the industry, faced challenges creating compliance documents efficiently, managing change, and ensuring accurate traceability.

• Slow Documentation Process: Documentation cycles took 8 weeks, often delayed by last-minute changes and manual data synchronization with Word documents and Excel spreadsheets.
• Traceability Challenges: A lack of granular traceability led to gaps in traceability and redundant links between requirements, specifications, and tests.
• Manual Change Management: Manual processes made it difficult to ensure all changes were accurately documented and approved.
