At a glance
Live in 1–6 weeks
Most implementations. Complex multi-system migrations take 8+ weeks.
Minimal effort from you
We do the configuration, migration, and documentation. You review and sign off.
Life sciences expertise
Deep experience with LIMS, ELN, QMS, and GxP compliance requirements.
Every engagement starts with a consultation. We assess your workflows, compliance requirements, and goals—then give you an accurate timeline.
Your team
Your solutions consultant stays involved throughout. Day-to-day, the work is led by an implementation consultant specialized in your area—whether that’s QMS, laboratory workflows, manufacturing, or clinical operations. From the start, we agree on a go-live date and a visible specification that defines what we’re building. Both stay visible throughout—you always know where we are, what’s left, and when we’ll be done.Why implementation is fast
Seal has AI built into the platform—Neil. Building a form that would take a day in traditional systems takes minutes. Configuring a workflow, generating validation documentation, restructuring a template—all happen in real time. Because iteration is so fast, we can try things, get your feedback, and refine until it’s right. Everything we do is through the platform UI. There’s no custom code or hidden configuration. Anything we can do, you can do. We train your team as part of implementation, so you’re self-sufficient afterward—though we’re always available if you need us. We’re here because we know life sciences workflows and what works. We get you to a strong initial state faster than starting from scratch, with proven patterns built in.New processes or migrations
New processes
Digitizing paper-based workflows, replacing spreadsheets, building new systems from scratch.
Migrations
Moving from existing platforms—LIMS, ELN, QMS, document management. See Data Migration for details.
What we need from you
- System access or exported data — read-only access to understand your current processes
- How you work today — SOPs, workflow diagrams, or a walkthrough with your team
- API documentation — if integrating with existing systems
Timeline expectations
| Scenario | Typical timeline |
|---|---|
| Single workflow | As little as 24 hours |
| Initial value / first use case | Within 1 week |
| Full implementation (multiple workflows, integrations, training) | 2–6 weeks |
| Complex multi-system migrations | 8+ weeks |
The process
For new processes, we work through four phases. For migrations, configuration runs in parallel with data extraction and transformation — see Data migration for details.1
Requirements gathering (1–2 weeks)
We run workshop sessions with your team to understand your workflows, document process flows and approval chains, and identify any integrations needed (ERP, LIMS, etc.).Deliverable: Functional requirements document
2
Platform configuration (1–3 weeks)
We build your system:
- Configure entity types, templates, and fields
- Set up review requirements and approval workflows
- Configure user roles and permissions
- Build any required integrations or automations
3
Validation (1–2 weeks)
Following your qualification approach:
- We execute Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ)
- We write test scripts; your team executes UAT (a few hours over 1–2 weeks)
- All test evidence is captured in Seal’s validation module
4
Training and go-live
- End-user training sessions (recorded for future reference)
- Admin training for your Seal administrators
- Go-live support during the initial rollout
Verification
| Type | What we verify |
|---|---|
| Functional testing | Test scripts executed against your configured workflows |
| User acceptance | Your team validates the system meets business requirements |
| Data integrity (migrations) | Record counts, checksums, audit trails — see Data Migration |
After go-live
You’re not on your own after cutover:- Dedicated support contact with clear escalation path
- Training materials remain accessible for your team
- Customer success manager for ongoing support as you grow
