With digital checklists (submitted using PC, laptop or the Certainty app) the results of audits and inspections are available online as soon as your auditors ‘save’ their audit (and sync if offline using the app). When submitting paper-based checklists, there can sometimes be a short delay in the digitization process (usually no more than an hour or two) and for data to be available on line. Also, as soon as your completed audit have been saved, you can report on the results and the data is included in your Dashboard graphs and metrics.

With Certainty there are 3 different ways to get audit data into the system (paper, browser and app). This means there should be a solution to meet the needs of all your team. The buy in part comes from the fact that each of these ways saves time and makes the audit process easier – for auditors – which should increase buy in, participation and results.
An example of this (and as shown in our Rocky Brands case study), auditors saved 25% of their time using the Certainty app compared to their previous ‘by hand’ approach. That’s 2 hours a day to do things more productive than re-keying observation/audit data! Hopefully that will be incentive enough!
Lastly, if the carrot doesn’t work, maybe the stick will? with Certainty’s Dashboard and System Reports managers can instantly and easily see metrics and KPI’s showing exactly who has and who hasn’t completed the audits expected.
Yes, when you submit a completed paper-based audit using Certainty’s scan-to-email technology, the system automatically digitizes the paper-based audit results and the digitized audit record in Certainty includes a PDF of the original scan submitted and can also include a ‘snapshot’ image of any key comments fields with hand written findings.
