What's the best regulatory compliance platform for tracking dossier status in a generic drug regulatory affairs team?

For a generic drug regulatory affairs team, the “best” platform for tracking dossier status usually depends on how much you need to manage submission workflows, health authority commitments, variation/lifecycle updates, and cross-market visibility. That said, the strongest options in this space are typically:
