SMART Compliance
SMART Compliance has been developed to be a complete “beginning to end” auditing system that is both versatile and easy to use.
Combining the abilities to manage audit scheduling, create custom audit checklists and tracking action items to closure, SMART Compliance is the solution to any auditing requirements in any industry.
Audit History and Scheduling
The web-based audit scheduler allows for review of past audits, incorporation into an auditor’s personal calendar, email notification when nearing the end of compliance period and the ability to perform repeat audits. The repeat audits will incorporate previous findings with the current state of any previous action items allowing auditors to ensure that action items have been closed out as described or if they have been overlooked since the previous inspections. Previous audits will always be kept on the system for future reference and posterity in case they are required at a later date.
Auditing System Designed for Field Use
The Auditor application is specifically designed for use with tablet PCs to allow use in any working environment while still providing an intuitive, simple interface to create observations, findings and action items. This tool can also create recommendation and full audit reports on the fly at any time during an audit to give a live summary of how the audit is progressing. These Microsoft Word or PDF documents can be used as part of an audit debrief, handed out on an individual basis or uploaded to the tracker where any findings and action items can be tracked to closure. Providing an option to create multiple action items for a finding and allowing each action item to be assigned to an individual ensures that there is full visibility and accountability for continual improvement throughout an organisation.
Multi-User Audits
The system manages large multi-user audits by allowing a team leader to import parts of an audit from other users. This means that multiple auditors can carry out a single audit and cover different sections at any one time before they combine their efforts into a single version for uploading.
Track Action Items to Closure
Once uploaded to the tracker, action items can be monitored alongside an optional due date to ensure they are closed out in a timely fashion. Users from both the auditor and the audited party may respond to the action items with the auditor able to close out action items by a percentage until the items are entirely closed. All correspondence is kept on record in the system to ensure that there is a full electronic audit trail of what work has taken place and what has been agreed. Audit management reports and charts can be created at any time after the audit has been uploaded to provide a snapshot summary of how the audit is progressing and the status of any action items in the system. These customisable graphics and management reports can be exported into PDF or printed directly from the system to allow publication at any time post-audit.
