Audits, Assessments and Checks
A solution promoting enhanced quality of information by using standards for conformity
Our Audit/Assessment solution has grown immensely over the past 15 years. Today it covers almost every type of audit required by our clients – from a simple 10 question checklist to complex compliance audits. Its flexibility is second to none, together with the action details and the powerful dashboard, makes it SmartAA than any other solution.
The Assessor selects the Location they want to audit from a pre-determined list. Once selected, the type of audits they can undertake at this location are displayed. Selecting the audit will display the criteria.
Pre questions can be setup to gather additional information i.e. number of employees, safe to check etc.
The main sections of the audit are displayed. Selecting a section will display the actual criteria which requires to be audited. If a question has been answered it is updated to green, providing the assessor with more clarity. If the criteria meets the standards, then selecting OK will automatically pass the criteria.
Failing results in standard actions to be displayed. These can be any standard you want from manual to preset ones to match your specific standards. The action can use standard date selection or preset timescales as well as a preset list of responsible people.
For additional clarity of the issue, up to three photographs can be included, together with notes for each photo. Also, drawing on the photo is available to highlight the part of the photograph which relates to the actual issue.
The results are automatically transferred to the Audit portal web system. Details of the audit results are displayed showing the overall percentage score, the date and the auditor.
A complex audit made easy by conforming to basic standards i.e. conformity of answers, actions, due dates etc. resulting in the assessor using it as a simple tool so they can devote their experience and time to the actual audit.
The actions created on the Audit Web Portal can be displayed in various ways – i.e. actions status, action for specific audits, overdue etc. The information can also be exported where the client can produce their own charts/graphs using a standard tool.
Graphs are displayed showing comparisons of outstanding actions from current and previous years and graphs for outstanding actions related to specific audits.
All information on the audit solution can also be exported where the client can produce their own charts/graphs.
The ANT SQR system allows GTR to fulfil its Department for Transport obligation of completing the periodic train and carriage audits with a simple, intuitive mobile system. GTR are then able to analyse the collected data from the inbuilt dashboards and exports and submit the results to the DfT as per our agreement.
GTR was given very little time to mobilise the SQR regime, but ANT really rose to the challenge, supporting us to deliver an audit app and back office systems to support this and the collected data. Since the implementation of the DfT’s SQR regime ANT has worked with GTR to make significant enhancements to the system, so it is now a robust recording and analysis tool which provides GTR with full visibility of tracking the SQR regime and the DfT with consistent accurate data. ANT has an excellent management, customer support and helpdesk team and are always extremely willing to help deliver improvements. This has been invaluable to us.
