Audit Ready 24/7: How to Manage Third-Party and Customer Audits Without the Scramble

About This Session

A customer audit lands with 48 hours' notice, and your team scrambles for records that should already be organized. This session shows you how to close that gap, whether the audit is internal, a GFSI scheme, or a customer's own team walking your floor. You'll watch a live, in-app demo of centralized documentation, real-time corrective actions, and a self-building audit trail, the approach that gets plants to 80% less audit prep time. Then hear firsthand from CJ De Luca, Quality Assurance Manager at Death Wish Coffee, on building an audit-ready program from scratch.

What You'll Learn

Why the scramble happens: Disconnected systems and manual recordkeeping turn every audit into a fire drill, no matter how much your team already knows.
Four tactical practices: Centralize documentation, close corrective actions in real time, maintain a living audit trail, and compress prep to 48 hours or less.
A live, in-app demo: Watch centralized documentation, a self-building audit trail, and real-time CAPA tracking, live in the platform.
Proof from the field: How Death Wish Coffee built an audit-ready SQF program from scratch, with no prior certification experience and three facilities to standardize.
