Resources and Insights

Expert perspectives on how AI-powered solutions augment pharmacovigilance, regulatory, and clinical teams solving Pharma’s document workflow and authoring challenges.

Quartica MARS: the document co-authoring and workflow management all-in-one AI platform built for Pharma.

Built by Pharma experts, for Pharma experts

Built by a team of pharma technology and process experts, Quartica MARS is the only cross-functional platform already in use by major pharma companies. Deployed for more than 5 years with high adoption rates, it's already solving pharma specific needs.

Reduces Risk and Improves Efficiency

Reduce manual process risks with automatic document updates across teams, automatic global and local updates, and the audit readiness of a fully validated system. Reduces time spent on document production up to 55%.

No Silos. No piecemeal solutions.

Quartica MARS is a single platform that connects your documents. Rather than simply sitting in a file, your documents are now living, breathing assets that are connected to drive consistency and efficiency within a department or across the enterprise.

Whitepaper: Beyond the Sandbox.

Why Real-World Immersion is Essential for AI Authoring Success

This whitepaper explains why traditional sandboxes fail, why synthetic data evaluations are misleading, and how an immersion-based evaluation model provides a more reliable, lower-risk path to production adoption.

What can Quartica MARS do for you?

A Different Perspective on AI in Life Sciences: The powerful all-in-one workflow management and co-authoring platform build for Pharma, by Pharma and technology experts.

  • Reduce Compliance Risk

    Sleep better at night knowing that Quartica MARS is a validated system, complete with audit trails and thoughtful features that make audits a breeze.

  • Author and update all types of documents across your organization 

    Introducing IntelligentStreams™, Quartica MARS turns static regulatory and safety documents into living, governed intelligence. AI continuously understands and contextualizes content so it’s always current, compliant, and ready for use across submissions, safety reports, partner exchanges, and health authority interactions. 

  • Quartica MARS improves over time, specifically for you. 

    Each Quartica MARS implementation is customer-specific, using a secure Customer Adaptation Layer trained on your documents, SOPs, style guides, products, and systems. The validated platform doesn’t self-learn, but approved edits are captured and deployed through change control to continuously improve your version of MARS. 

  • Proof the system works at a much faster time to value 

    Sandboxes don’t work, and production-lite pilots are slow (but sometimes necessary), costly, and poor at proving AI value without real training. Quartica’s immersion workshop delivers fast proof by training MARS on your content and running a guided, two-day, hands-on evaluation with your team. 

  • Workflows built for your organization

    Quartica streamlines and automates your workflows using AI that understands your commitments, timelines, and stakeholders. It manages work end-to-end—assigning tasks, sending reminders, and tracking compliance—to ensure every obligation is met. 

  • Improves efficiency by more than 50% 

    Client case studies show Quartica MARS delivers over 55% efficiency in document creation, driven by major reductions in authoring, review, QC, and project timelines. The result is more time for your teams to focus on the science.

Frequently Asked Questions

What problems does the Quartica MARS Platform solve across pharmacovigilance, clinical, and regulatory functions?

The Quartica MARS Platform addresses the fragmentation of content, data, and workflows across safety, clinical, regulatory, and quality teams. It enables regulated documents to be created, maintained, and updated from shared, traceable content rather than recreated repeatedly in siloed systems. By unifying authoring, review, governance, and compliance controls in a single platform, MARS reduces rework, coordination overhead, and audit risk. This allows organizations to scale output without proportionally scaling headcount.

How is the Quartica MARS Platform different from traditional document management?

Traditional systems are document-centric, focusing on storage and workflow rather than the underlying scientific content. The Quartica MARS Platform is content-centric, meaning knowledge is structured, reusable, and continuously governed across documents and processes. AI is embedded to assist creation, maintenance, and quality—not bolted on as an afterthought.

How does the Quartica MARS Platform use AI in regulated life sciences without compromising compliance or audit readiness?

The Quartica MARS Platform applies AI within clearly defined intended use, risk boundaries, and human-in-the-loop controls. AI supports drafting, analysis, and maintenance, while human accountability is preserved at decision points that carry regulatory or medical risk. All actions remain traceable, auditable, and governed through operational controls rather than opaque automation. This enables responsible AI use aligned with evolving regulatory expectations.

Can the Quartica MARS Platform be used alongside existing systems such as safety databases, CTMS, or regulatory RIM platforms?

Yes. The Quartica MARS Platform is designed to coexist with existing enterprise systems, including safety databases, CTMS, and regulatory submission platforms. It integrates through structured data exchange and APIs rather than replacing systems of record. This allows organizations to preserve prior investments while adding an AI-enabled content and governance layer across functions.

Which pharmacovigilance, clinical, and regulatory documents does the Quartica MARS Platform support out of the box?

The Quartica MARS Platform supports a wide range of regulated documents, including PBRERs, RMPs, PSMFs, PVA, protocols, ICFs, Lay summaries, CSRs, Subject Narratives, CTDs, CMC documentation, and many other document types across R&D. Templates, workflows, and governance controls are aligned with global regulatory expectations. The platform is extensible, allowing organizations to add new document types as needs evolve.

How does the Quartica MARS Platform support inspections, audits, and regulatory defensibility?

The Quartica MARS Platform is designed with auditability as a core principle. It maintains traceability between data, content, decisions, and approvals across the document lifecycle. Human oversight, version history, and decision ownership are visible and reviewable. This enables organizations to explain not only what was produced, but how and why it was produced.

What level of configuration or customization is required to implement the Quartica MARS Platform?

The Quartica MARS Platform is configurable rather than heavily customized. Core workflows, document structures, and governance controls are available out of the box and can be adapted to organizational processes. This reduces implementation risk and dependence on large system integrator efforts. Most customers achieve value through configuration aligned to their operating model.

What types of organizations use the Quartica MARS Platform, and at what stage of development does it provide the most value?

The Quartica MARS Platform is used by top to mid-size biopharma, large CROs and other life sciences organizations. It delivers value early by establishing scalable content and governance foundations, and continues to compound value as portfolios, volumes, and regulatory complexity grow. Organizations facing rapid growth, increasing compliance burden, or operational inefficiency tend to see the strongest impact.

Can AI really reduce headcount in pharma operations—or does it just shift the work?

In successful implementations, execution-heavy tasks are reduced while higher-value orchestration, oversight, and judgment roles increase. Organizations that redesign roles and workflows often see material efficiency gains. Those that do not typically see work shift rather than shrink.

What does “Human-in-the-Loop” actually mean in practice?

Human-in-the-Loop does not mean manual review of every output. It means that accountability is intentionally designed into decision points that carry regulatory, medical, or ethical risk. AI operates within defined boundaries, while humans retain ownership of escalation, approval, and exception handling. Effective HITL is an operating model, not a checkbox.
