Choosing the right certification body software is an important decision for any certification body that wants to move away from spreadsheets, disconnected files, emails and manual tracking. The best certification body management software should do more than store client information or schedule audits. It should connect the complete certification lifecycle.
Do not choose software based only on a feature list.
Ask the provider to demonstrate your real certification workflow.
Can the software manage the complete certification lifecycle? Ask the provider to demonstrate: Client → Application → Contract → Audit Planning → Auditor Assignment → Audit → Review → Certification Decision → Certificate → Surveillance → Recertification If the system requires you to move between several unrelated modules or external applications, ask how information and records remain connected.
