Calibration Control vs CompuCal

Calibration Control is Windows software for managing equipment and tools that require recurring calibration or maintenance. It tracks assets and supports calibration procedures, preventative maintenance, transfers, check-in and check-out, status changes, and barcode scanning. Users can schedule email or desktop reminders and publish a static HTML due list on an organization’s intranet. Reports include calibration certificates, worksheets, and due reports; existing reports can be customized or rebuilt with the Report Designer. The software supports MS Access or SQL Server databases, with SQL Server cloud hosting offered separately. Security features include authentication, role permissions, password rules, change logs, and SQL Server or Windows authentication. The maker lists 21 CFR Part 11 support features such as audit trails, electronic signatures, password controls, and account locking. Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2016 64-bit or later are supported. Pricing starts at $768, paid once for a per-seat base license, and a 30-day free trial is available.

CompuCal is calibration management software for life sciences and other regulated manufacturing environments. It handles paperless calibration planning, execution, certification, and traceability, with tasks scheduled by time interval, usage, or asset criticality. Teams can configure procedures with steps, tolerances, and approval stages, and receive email or in-app reminders for upcoming, overdue, or failed calibrations. The software tracks reference equipment schedules and certification status, flagging expired or non-conforming standards. Its uncertainty budget module produces traceable, statistically valid evaluations. CompuCal GO supports phone and tablet work, including offline tasks that sync when connectivity returns. Reports and certificates can use values captured during calibration execution. For electronic records, it provides signatures, time-stamped audit trails, role-based access, and retrievable records. Blue Mountain says its controls and documentation support a validated system for 21 CFR Part 11. CompuCal connects to SAP and other enterprise systems. Pricing is available by demo request; no price or trial terms are listed.
