We're pleased to announce a partnership with 360 Clinical Research Consultancy (360 CRC), bringing independent audit expertise directly into the development of ORDU Studio, our modular multi-agency incident management platform. Shane Comiskey, Managing Director of 360 CRC, will act as Subject Matter Expert, called on as and when compliance and audit input is needed across ORDU Studio's development and our wider client work. Shane brings over two decades of GxP audit leadership, including senior roles at Chiltern, ICON plc, PharmaNet/i3, and MDS Pharma Services, and has hosted regulatory inspections for the FDA, MHRA, BfArM, and CFDA. Incident response happens fast, often across agencies who don't share systems or standards. The response itself matters, but so does the record it leaves behind, especially for organisations with obligations under frameworks like Martyn's Law. ORDU Studio is built so that record can withstand scrutiny from day one, not reconstructed after the fact. We're looking forward to what this partnership makes possible. #IncidentManagement #MartynsLaw #ComplianceByDesign #ORDUStudio https://www.libertas.software/r-106

I wanted to quickly share something that may be relevant to some of you. We help charities, membership groups and corporate businesses launch fully managed on-demand merchandise stores — removing the need for bulk stock purchasing or warehousing commitments. Products are only produced when ordered, which reduces waste, lowers risk and avoids tying budget into surplus inventory. What’s been particularly effective is how flexible the model is for: * fundraising * staff onboarding/gifting * campaigns and events * distributed teams/networks * ongoing brand engagement We manage the production, customer service and fulfilment too, so it stays very low maintenance internally for any organisation. A couple of live examples: • https://shop.exp.uk.com/ • https://shop.missingpeople.org.uk I’d be really interested to hear whether merchandise is something any of you already have explored, or whether a more agile on-demand approach could be useful. Best regards
