Compliance: Always Be Audit Ready
Stop spending days getting ready for audits and be confident you’ll ace them
Non-Compliance is Not an Option for Manufacturers
As international, federal, local, and customer quality and safety requirements shift, you need the ability to check all the boxes before an auditor pays you a visit. Simply put, most teams spend too long on preparing for audits and still don’t have full confidence they have everything in those binders they need to pass. It’s frustrating.
Manufacturers Who Miss Compliance
Manufacturing operations are strained by increasing customer demands, supply chain issues, lack of skilled workers, and poor visibility to maintenance and safety needs. Each day may seem like an exercise in resource reallocation as issues arise – causing shift supervisors and plant managers to scramble in completing compliance documentation checks and approvals before the product is packaged and shipped.
If your operations are still using manual processes for quality and safety checks, relying on spreadsheets and paper documents that are copied and given to line workers to complete before the end of their shift, you’re putting your productivity and quality at risk. Missing one compliance check, using an outdated document, or not realizing there is a compliance issue immediately will result in line shut downs, rework, and possibly recalls.
The Cost of Non-Compliance
- Line shuts down if current or historical compliance records are not made available to an auditor
- Fines, legal and operational expenses, and lost revenue due to line stops, rework, or recalls
- Lack of available assets, materials and resources for new business due to rework
- Unfilled customer order agreements
- Product labels and packaging will not include certification seals or information
- Loss of brand trust and future sales due to multiple recalls
- Spending days stressfully assembling all the right records to make sure an auditor has a complete binder
Prevent quality and safety non-compliance
Error-Proof Your Compliance Records
Improve safety and compliance checks and processes via digital forms and APIs. Ensure your line workers are always checking the most up-to-date requirements and the custom form builder makes sure users never miss a documentation step. Plus, when any compliance issues are detected, real-time alerts notify supervisors to take the appropriate action such as review and sign-off.

Reduce errors that occur with manual in-process safety and quality checks to ensure end-to-end compliance without the hassle of paper documents. Saving time on these manual checks keeps your line focused on filling orders and reducing product holds.
