Initial Review
We conduct a comprehensive review of existing documents, currently utilised software and applications, as well as the context and boundaries of the management systems. This assessment involves evaluating these elements against the desired standards.
System Development
We initiate the system development process by completing the conceptual design, outlining necessary modules, identifying stakeholders, and establishing access levels and permissions. Subsequently, we move on to the detailed design phase, encompassing modules, workflows, documents, forms, automation, integrations, and more.
Implementation
After developing your customised software, we will hand over the completed system to you, provide training for your team on its usage, and offer ongoing supervision, consultation, and guidance during the implementation process.
Internal Audit
The internal audit module is being developed specifically for your use. However, for your convenience, we also provide an optional internal audit service in case you lack the internal resources or prefer to have the peace of mind that comes with outsourcing this task.
Attending External Audit
Organisations, especially those seeking certification for the first time, may find dealing with external auditors stressful and challenging. To ensure a better and smoother experience, we offer an optional service to attend the external audit, acting as facilitators to assist and support you during the process.
Ongoing Maintenance
After successfully obtaining your certificate, a new challenge emerges in maintaining this accomplishment. Annually, the certification body conducts a surveillance audit. We provide an optional service to help you identify any oversights in your routines or assess whether adjustments, such as expanding your service scope or adding more modules, are needed.
