The Top 6 Benefits Your Audit Management Program Should Deliver

Audit management is changing the way companies improve environment, health, and safety (EHS) performance. These days, companies are looking for ways to improve the efficiency and productivity of internal audit processes.

Complete Audits and Inspections in Half the Time

Audits and inspections traditionally take much longer to complete than they have to. That’s mostly due to ineffective or poorly developed systems. Modern tools, including software, can speed the process and improve the results. Auditors and inspectors can now adopt a solution that’s designed to automate repetitive audits and inspection tasks.  

Companies have the option of implementing a configurable solution designed to increase audit effectiveness and reduce time spent on tasks. Specialized audit software makes it possible to handle necessary compliance tasks in half the time, increasing productivity throughout the process. For instance, companies can now snap and share photos, highlight findings using annotations, associate Corrective Actions and Preventative Actions (CAPAs) with findings, and generate audit reports quicker than ever. Once the audit is complete, it's seamless to generate a complete audit report with notes, photos, and action items for greater transparency.

Mobile Access and Offline Capabilities

The biggest technology trend in recent times is mobility. You can now say goodbye to the days of being chained to a desk, losing access to files while out of the office, and juggling different devices for different tasks. Mobile solutions for audit management make multi-tasking on-the-go a breeze. It is now possible to work from anywhere. With mobile access, you can perform audits using a smartphone, tablet, or web browser whether or not there’s access to local data networks. You can conduct and complete audits and inspections while offline, and when a connection is available, your files will automatically sync to your designated library. Plus, all devices will have access to the same data regardless of where they are being used, enabling users to select the best device for each job.

Besides mobility, tablets and smartphones also make it easier to capture photos during your audits and annotate them on the go. Teams are more connected than ever, making collaboration a painless and productive experience. With a platform-independent design, you can rest assured that you will have the same experience no matter how you're connected. Get out into the field, visit any location, and be confident you can get the job done effortlessly and professionally.
