Rook Quality Systems has always been a virtual/work-from-home company, utilizing co-working and other tools for our business. With the COVID-19 outbreak, we wanted to share some of our favorite tools for working efficiently while remote, as many other Medical Device companies are transitioning to remote work.
Slack is an instant messaging platform for group and individual messaging. We use this for all non-email communication. It's a great way to keep in touch and get quick answers to questions.
After trying multiple task tracking tools and software we ended up using Monday.com and have loved it so far. Easy to track tasks based on priority, date due, and owner. The platform features an easy-to-read color scheme and integrates with Slack.
Another widely used tool that I'm sure many are aware of. This is the best video conferencing tool available and really essential for remote working. Also integrates nicely with slack for ad hoc meetings. We have also completed multiple external audits via zoom without any issues.
For companies that need to track hours or time spent on certain projects, Timeneye is a great tool that offers lots of customizable options.
Being that we work exclusively with medical device companies on their quality system, an eQMS is the greatest work-from-home tool you can have. We love Greenlight's ease of use, simplicity, and the overall design that helps improve QMS efficiency remotely!
We also implement company-wide daily check in in calls via zoom each morning. We use these to answer questions, check on daily work and goals, and prep for upcoming meetings or audits. Please reach out to us if you need any assistance.
