CAPA Manager Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Below you'll find the answers to some popular and frequently asked questions:

CAPA software application
Where is the CAPA Manager login page?

You can access your CAPA Manager and login here: CAPA Manager login

Some CAPA update notification emails are not being received?

Notification email issues are usually due to email filters wrongly labeling the CAPA Manager notifications as spam. To overcome this problem, we recommend adding adaptivebms.com to your server email allowlist.

How long will my CAPA software demo last for?

You can continue to use your demo account for as long as you keep using it. Demo accounts are automatically deleted if they're left idle for three months. Our standard terms apply, and we reserve the right to remove access at our discretion.

Do I need technical help to install CAPA Manager?

Just Sign up and Log in to your account. No local install is required. CAPA Manager will be available to use right away.

How do I control who can assign or reassign a CAPA investigation?

Under Settings > Configuration, your account administrators can choose the user roles who can assign or reassign a CAPA team leader.

Yes! The data download feature comes with all Premium accounts. Just click 'Download' from the left sidebar, or from the CAPA Explorer page. Your CAPA Manager administrators grant download privileges.

How do I suggest an improvement?

How many users do I get with my CAPA Manager account?

We provide two users free with the demo version of CAPA Manager. More users can be purchased as part of a Premium account plan. You can buy as many additional users as you like.

Our supplier is already using CAPA Manager, can we link accounts?

Yes! Both account administrators need to request this from our Support team. Once the request has been validated, you'll be able to pass CAPA requests to one another.

How do I add more users to my CAPA Manager account?

Go to Settings>Users and people> Add new users. Once you have entered their details, hit Okay, they'll be sent their new login credentials via email.

What does the red font refer to in the CAPA Manager list views?

What is the best CAPA software?

CAPA Manager is the best CAPA software because it is easy to use, scalable, and reasonably priced. The free version is fully compliant and helps small businesses drive grassroots quality. Enterprise versions of CAPA Manager are powerful and can be fully connected to existing IT infrastructure.

Billing and subscriptions
Can I pay annually, via PO?

Yes. We prefer annual billing. But we are able to provide a monthly billing option as well. New customers often opt for monthly billing at first but soon change to yearly billing.

CAPA manager appears very cost-competitive. What's the catch?

No catch. The CAPA Manager product was created to support Quality professionals. To make the product accessible to as many users as possible we keep our sales and marketing overheads to a minimum. We prefer to rely on our excellent reputation within the industry to generate more sales. If you want to pay more, you may find the same product under a Premium brand name where the opposite sales and marketing strategy is used.

There are limits but it is free. This allows paying users to link up suppliers and customers at no extra cost.
