“At Schlafender Hase, our customer-led development process ensures that we incorporate feedback from our TVT user community into every TVT upgrade,” says Mike Baird, Director of Product Development. “TVT 12, however, differs from previous releases, as all of the updates are exclusively the result of direct customer feedback.”

Here’s a look at the new features in TVT Version 12

Precision in style and formatting isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a crucial aspect of compliance. The upgraded style check, and conformity features in TVT 12 enable users to quickly verify adherence to brand guidelines and regulatory standards.

These updates help regulatory affairs, labeling, and marketing teams meet stringent compliance requirements, reduce human error, and maintain brand consistency across documents.

The software helps ensure that electronic product documentation matches regulatory specifications, reducing risks and simplifying the transition to digital information management. Using TVT to manage this process allows companies to stay ahead of ePI requirements and maintain a competitive edge in an increasingly digital landscape.
