Our Story

A Journey of Innovation and Excellence

APS Compliance is born from Kia Kahhali's journey—from a problem-solving engineer to a visionary leader in the pharmaceutical industry. After 20 years in the field, Kia founded APS in 2018 to offer top-tier equipment and computerized system validation services while pioneering scalable lab automation solutions. His bold vision: to democratize technology for companies of all sizes. Under his leadership, APS has become a trusted partner in the industry, continually advancing what's possible with initiatives like ALLEYE CMMS and PharmaRockIT.

Kia developed his first chromatographic software shortly before immigrating to Canada in 2005. This move marked the beginning of Kia’s journey into the world of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), where he would spend the next 13 years honing his skills in equipment and computer system validation, while deepening his passion for data integrity.

In 2012, Kia implemented an authentic risk-based approach to Analytical Instrument Qualification (AIQ), considering analytical instruments as systems that include their operating software. This approach, which emphasized the instrument's intended use and data integrity concerns, is notably similar to the 2017 version of USP <1058>, showcasing Kia’s deep understanding of the AIQ process and his pioneering vision.

In 2018, after more than 20 years of experience in the industry, Kia decided to channel his expertise and passion into creating something of his own. He founded APS Compliance Consultants Inc. with a clear mission: to provide world-class equipment and computerized system validation services, and to leverage cutting-edge technology to develop scalable lab automation solutions. Kia’s vision was ambitious—to democratize technology access across organizations of all sizes, ensuring that even smaller companies could benefit from the latest advancements.

A key factor in APS's success has been its deliberate and thoughtful approach to growth. As Kia puts it, "We do not expand unless there is a tangible benefit for our clients," ensuring that every step forward directly contributes to enhancing client outcomes. This client-centric philosophy has earned APS a reputation as a trusted partner in the pharmaceutical industry.

Under Kia’s leadership, APS quickly established itself as a trusted partner in the pharmaceutical industry. The company’s innovative approaches to validation and automation have empowered clients to enhance data quality, improve operational efficiency, and ultimately contribute to patient safety. From the launch of ALLEYE CMMS to the ongoing PharmaRockIT initiative, APS continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the GxP-regulated world.

In addition to his entrepreneurial ventures, Kia has been a committed thought leader, actively sharing his insights with the industry in several conferences, Quality and GMP events, contributing to the collective knowledge of the field and reinforcing his reputation as an expert and innovator.

Today, APS Compliance Consultants Inc. is more than just a consultancy—it’s a story of innovation, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. It’s a story that reflects Kia Kahhali’s journey, from a young engineer solving problems in the field to a visionary leader transforming the pharmaceutical industry. And this story is far from over

In 1997, fresh out of engineering school, Kia Kahhali embarked on a career that would shape his future. He began as an Analytical Instrument field service engineer, a role that immediately resonated with his problem-solving spirit. The challenging nature of the job was a perfect match for Kia, who thrived on finding solutions to complex issues.
