Tia Buchanan, Quality Management System (QMS) Director at Torrent, joined the company in 2020, before all of the acquisitions had come to fruition. The company’s quality management system at that time relied heavily on folders and spreadsheets housed on a local server. In order to sustain Torrent’s rapid growth plans, Buchanan recognized the company needed a better system to organize and streamline quality and compliance processes.
