Features we love!

• Weighted questions: Not every question was created equally. By adding different values to questions, it gives different levels of importance to each different question. This is especially important when you have some audit items that could spell disaster if they are not complied with, when other items, the consequences may only be minor. Weighted questions give you the ability to create smarter audits and make informed decisions.
• Custom report builder: The custom report builder gives you the freedom to determine what matters and what doesn’t. You can create charts, tables and alter settings and configurations to your heart's desire in order to better present and view your invaluable data.
• Recurring tasks: Create recurring tasks or invitations to take the hassle out of scheduling. By setting recurring tasks, you can be sure you are accurately assessing performance and are able to view performance trends over time.
• File upload restrictions: The worst thing that can happen in an audit is gathering inaccurate submissions. Toggle on ‘restrict file upload to camera’ to ensure only pictures that have been taken at that moment are uploaded, giving you the piece of mind that comes with accurate submissions.
• Add action items: Action items give you the ability to let the user completing the audit know that there are improvements to be made. It allows you to save the time and hassle of remembering to schedule in a chat to go over improvement areas.

Why is this module right for you?

In today’s day and age, maintaining compliance and having a handle on risk management is more than essential, it’s vital. Without compliance with external rules and regulations, businesses can’t operate - plain and simple. That doesn't even take into account the implications of brand inconsistencies either. With Audit Central, you never have to worry about inconsistencies, compliance or operational risks again. Audit Central gives you the confidence to run your business and the opportunity to improve growth. 

Consider this; what happens if you have a compliance breach? You might have to shut up shop, your brand may be damaged or perhaps you’ll lose customers. All of these things can be disastrous for your business and all are avoidable. By conducting smarter self-audits, with weighted questions and deep logic, you’ll gather the data you need to ensure your business is operating as it should. Combine this with reporting that automatically pulls your data in and you will always be able to identify issues and make the appropriate adjustments before the issues become large and costly. 

That was a quick look into Audit Central.
