Your panelist data lives in a spreadsheet. Your biophysical readings live in a proprietary instrument file. Your eTMF gets assembled the week before an inspection. And your safety team can't see a mild reaction pattern repeating across three concurrent studies — because those three studies live in three different systems.
Every handoff is a data integrity risk. Every re-entry is a compliance gap. Every new regulation adds another spreadsheet.
MoCRA introduced mandatory facility registration, product listing, and 15-day serious adverse event reporting — the first overhaul of US cosmetics law since 1938. The EU Omnibus updates hit a hard compliance deadline in May 2026. China's NMPA has opened new animal-testing-exempt pathways with their own documentation demands.
None of this is a temporary spike. It's the new baseline — and the fragmented toolchain most teams run on wasn't built for it.
