MasterControl Adds CMMS Capabilities With Qualer Acquisition

Life sciences companies are eager for solutions that bring quality assurance, manufacturing, and asset management all into one unified location to ensure they can streamline development and innovation. To meet that need, MasterControl has announced the acquisition of Qualer, a cloud-native asset management company that simplifies tracking, calibration, and maintenance of critical assets and equipment across laboratory and manufacturing facilities.

What Does the Qualer Acquisition Mean for You?

Qualer software solutions add optimized manufacturing asset management capabilities to the MasterControl platform. Qualer’s interconnected modules for tracking, maintenance, service requests, and vendor management provide a flexible computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) solution, empowering companies to foster proactive, confident, and efficient maintenance management.

By incorporating Qualer’s cloud-based asset management solution, MasterControl has created the industry's only offering that provides a single life-science-specific quality management system (QMS), manufacturing execution system (MES), and CMMS software platform. The acquisition extends MasterControl's ability to enhance life science product development by enabling organizations to manage and integrate quality, manufacturing, and asset performance in one unified system.

When Can You Start Benefiting From MasterControl’s New CMMS Capabilities?

Manufacturing Excellence customers will be able to add new asset tracking capabilities to their MasterControl portfolio in Q1 2025, with deeper integrations combining data from MasterControl quality and manufacturing solutions planned for release later in the year.

"This acquisition accelerates our vision of helping customers reduce complexity, increase efficiency, and speed time-to-market for life-changing products,” said MasterControl CEO Jon Beckstrand. “Qualer will help us address a critical need in the industry – reducing costs, increasing productivity and ensuring compliance for physical assets."

The Qualer team is equally excited about the new era of CMMS software, asset maintenance software, and asset management software the two organizations are initiating by joining forces.

“Our shared commitment to advancing life sciences through innovative technology makes this a natural fit,” said Ryan Arnold, CEO of Qualer. “Together, we'll be able to deliver even more value to our customers and help shape the future of regulated manufacturing."
