Auditors
Document on site and write the report in the same place.
Every client’s audits in one place.
Auditors document on site, administrators plan and issue certificates, and your clients receive their reports, all in the same system. Each new audit builds on the one before.
Illustration
Link the requirements to the client’s processes and audit one process at a time. PART is built to support process-based auditing. During Customer registration, auditors can map relevant requirements to the client’s processes, creating the foundation for an audit plan that follows how the organisation actually works. When needed, auditors can also work directly against individual requirements.
Each audit moves through seven steps in PART, from plan to renewal.
Illustration
- Step 1
Plan the certification cycle
Set up the certification programme, including the three-year audit cycle, scope, sites, standards and planned audit activities.
- Step 2
Schedule and prepare the audit
Book the audit, assign the audit team and create the audit plan. For process-based audits, requirements can be mapped to the client’s processes and used as the basis for the plan.
- Step 3
Conduct the audit and record findings
Document the audit directly in PART, on site or remotely. Previous audit information can be carried forward for the auditor to review, verify and update. Record nonconformities, observations and required corrective actions as part of the audit. The audited organisation can respond and submit evidence directly in PART.
- Step 4
Complete the auditor self-check
After each audit, the lead auditor completes a self-check to confirm that client information is accurate and up to date, and that a plan is in place for the next audit.
- Step 5
Review and make the certification decision
Once the audit is complete and required actions have been addressed, the audit documentation is reviewed. In case of Stage 2 audits and recertification audits, the certification decision is recorded before the certificate is issued.
- Step 6
Report and issue the certificate
Generate consistent audit reports and certificates directly from PART, using the same structure regardless of auditor or location.
- Step 7
Follow up throughout the cycle
Track corrective actions, surveillance audits and changes throughout the certification cycle. PART keeps the full history connected and supports planning for the next audit and eventual recertification.
What PART does today

Audit plans and scheduling for the whole team in one place, with support for automated planning.
Checklists and templates per standard

Work on site with no internet access
Auditors can keep documenting at a client’s site when there is no network available.
Nonconformities and corrective actions
Followed up over time, across audits.

Your client receives reports and responds to findings in PART.
Integrations
Connect PART to other systems through its API. An integration with Fortnox is in place.
