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.
Running a certification body requires more than basic audit management software.
A modern certification body management system needs to connect clients, contracts, auditors, audits, certification decisions, certificates, financial records, communication, quality records, and accreditation requirements.
CABflo certification body software brings these processes together in one centralized platform.
Whether you operate an ISO certification body, management systems certification body, product certification body, personnel certification body, or another conformity assessment body, CABflo provides a structured system for managing the certification lifecycle.
ISO/IEC 17021-1 Certification Body Software CABflo is designed around the operational processes and controlled records relevant to ISO/IEC 17021-1 and certification body operations.
The platform helps certification bodies organize and control information associated with: - Client applications and certification contracts - Certification scope and client information - Auditor and technical expert competence - Auditor qualifications and training - Audit planning and scheduling - Audit execution and audit records - Technical review - Certification decision and review - Certification records - Surveillance and recertification - Complaints and appeals - Corrective actions - Internal audits and management review - Impartiality-related records - Financial and invoice records - Complete activity and audit trails This makes CABflo more than an audit management software.
It is a complete certification body management platform connecting the operational processes of a certification body.
What Does Certification Body Software Manage? Client and Contract Management Manage client applications, certification contracts, scopes, certification cycles, documents, statuses, and important client information from one centralized system.
Auditor Competence Management Maintain structured auditor competency records, including qualifications, CVs, training records, audit experience, witness audits, technical codes, NDAs, and supporting evidence.
Audit Planning and Scheduling Plan certification audits, surveillance audits, recertification audits, and other activities while managing auditor availability, assignments, dates, and audit information.
Audit Management Connect audit planning with audit execution and certification records so that information does not become scattered across spreadsheets, emails, documents, and separate systems.
Certification Decision and Review Manage the certification decision and review process, including technical review, decision records, responsible personnel, evidence, and controlled certification outcomes.
Certificate Management Maintain certification information and connect certificates with clients, scopes, audit cycles, certification decisions, surveillance activities, and recertification.
Surveillance and Recertification Manage the continuing certification lifecycle, including surveillance audits, recertification, upcoming activities, records, and certification status.
Finance and Invoicing Connect certification activities with contracts, invoices, payments, outstanding amounts, revenue, and financial information.
Accreditation and Quality Records Organize records supporting accreditation readiness, internal audits, management reviews, complaints, appeals, corrective actions, impartiality activities, and other certification body quality processes.
Certification Body Management System A modern certification body management system should provide visibility across the entire organization.
CABflo connects: Client → Contract → Auditor → Audit → Review → Certification Decision → Certificate → Surveillance → Recertification This connected workflow helps certification bodies reduce disconnected spreadsheets and manual processes while improving visibility, traceability, accountability, and control.
Certification Management Software CABflo can be used as a centralized certification management software platform for managing certification activities and records across the organization.
Instead of using separate tools for: - CRM - Contract management - Auditor records - Audit scheduling - Audit management - Certification decisions - Certificate records - Finance - Communication - Quality records CABflo brings these functions together into one certification body software platform.
Certification Body Software for ISO Certification CABflo is particularly suited to certification bodies managing ISO certification activities, including management system certification processes.
The platform can support certification operations involving standards and schemes such as: - ISO 9001 - ISO 14001 - ISO 45001 - ISO 27001 - ISO 22000 - ISO 13485 - ISO 50001 - ISO 37001 - ISO 22301 - ISO 20000-1 The software structure can be adapted to the certification schemes and scopes managed by the certification body.
Why Certification Bodies Need Specialized Software Generic CRM, project management, accounting, and audit software are not designed specifically around the needs of a certification body.
A specialized certification body management software platform should connect certification activities and maintain relationships between clients, auditors, audits, certification decisions, certificates, and controlled records.
CABflo is built specifically for this purpose.
