Frequently asked questions

How can an auditing platform boost operational efficiency for auditing firms and testing, inspection, & certification (TIC) bodies?
Manual, paper-based auditing processes are time-consuming, prone to errors, and difficult to manage. An auditing platform automates and streamlines the entire audit lifecycle—from planning and scheduling to execution, reporting, and issue remediation. Auditing automation boosts time savings, reduces administrative burden, and promotes consistent audit practices, resulting in more capacity to conduct more assessments. Auditing platforms also help auditing firms and TICs harness the unique complexities in their business caused by customer expectations, regulatory standards, and evolving supply chains.
