Certification Body Management Software for the Complete Certification Lifecycle CABflo is certification body management software designed around ISO/IEC 17021-1 requirements to help certification bodies manage their complete certification operation in one connected platform — from client application and contract management to auditor competence, audit planning, audit execution, technical review, certification decisions, certificates, surveillance, finance, records, and accreditation activities.
Choosing the right certification body software means looking beyond basic CRM or audit management features.
A certification body needs software that can manage the complete certification lifecycle while maintaining controlled records, traceability, auditor competence, certification decisions, and accreditation-related requirements.
When evaluating certification body management software, look for these capabilities: - Client and contract management — manage applications, contracts, scopes, certification status, and client records.
- Auditor competence management — maintain qualifications, training, experience, witness audits, technical codes, and competency evidence.
- Audit planning and management — plan certification, surveillance, and recertification audits and manage auditor assignments.
- Certification decision and review — maintain technical review and certification decision records with clear responsibility and traceability.
- Certificate management — connect certificates to clients, scopes, audits, decisions, and certification cycles.
- Surveillance and recertification management — track upcoming activities and continuing certification requirements.
- Finance and invoicing — connect contracts, certification activities, invoices, payments, and revenue.
- Quality and accreditation records — manage internal audits, management reviews, complaints, appeals, corrective actions, impartiality records, and other controlled information.
- Audit trail and accountability — know who created, changed, reviewed, or approved information and when.
- ISO/IEC 17021-1 alignment — the software should be designed around the operational controls and records relevant to certification body activities.
Why choose CABflo? CABflo is purpose-built certification body management software designed around the way certification bodies actually operate.
Instead of using separate systems for clients, contracts, auditors, audits, certification decisions, certificates, finance, communication, and quality records, CABflo connects these processes in one platform.
The result is a complete workflow: Client → Contract → Auditor → Audit → Review → Certification Decision → Certificate → Surveillance → Recertification
CABflo is certification body management software. It helps organise records and workflows across the certification cycle. It does not replace professional judgment, make certification decisions, or guarantee ISO/IEC 17021-1 conformity or accreditation.
