About Rimsys
Rimsys was founded in 2017 by regulatory affairs professionals who asked the simple question: “Isn’t there a better way to do this?” Like all RA teams, they spent hours looking for information, manually managed global product registrations, and struggled to keep up with changing regulations and standards.
