Recent Reviews
Kristi N.
VP of Regulatory Affairs
"Kivo was really fast to set up training, and then because the system is so user-friendly, it just didn’t take that much time to get people up to speed. Normally the learning curve with a system like this is quite steep, but Kivo is so intuitive we can quickly get people oriented and off to the races."
Seppe G.
Director of Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance
"The intuitive on-line interface has been adapted quickly by the entire development team allowing both the CMC experts as well as the clinical team to seamlessly integrate internal documents as well as controlled documents from external parties."

"The system eliminates excel spreadsheets and other trackers, providing a great summary view into content and submission planning, preparation, and completion. It's a "must have" for small companies preparing their first IND and scales well for small and mid-sized companies looking to prepare NDAs/BLAs/501Ks."
Reduce Manual Work and Improve Compliance with the Easiest-to-Use RIM
“I can’t even express how refreshing the ease of use is, because the complexity of the traditional Part 11 Compliant systems is nonsensical. Those were designed by and for large organizations. But Kivo makes it so easy.”
