Streamline multiple systems into a single platform for greater efficiency, co-ordination and consistency with an Integrated Management System.
An Integrated Management System merges your ISO management processes into one convenient system, reducing hassle, cutting waste and refining compliance. With pre-defined processes and procedures, it gives businesses like yours a helping hand in achieving best practice for quality, environmental impact, occupational health and safety, and many more.
With just one system to oversee, you can easily coordinate multiple business operations, saving time and unnecessary work. This will have a positive impact on your efficiency by boosting output through fewer processes and maximising the use of your internal resources. In other words, it’s a time-saver as well as a money-maker.
Management systems with common points, tasks and processes can be combined and managed as one for streamlined efficiency. But what boost can this give your business?
Push your business with improved management processes. With streamlined procedures and continual improvement, your business can benefit from better quality, improved health and safety and increased productivity.
Take advantage of aligned objectives and processes and tackle them at the same time for streamlined efficiency.
With just one system, you can develop and implement new management systems in far less time, allowing you to start reaping the rewards of greater efficiency more quickly.
Coordinate your efforts towards continual improvement and use your multiple Standards to support your company’s growth.
Shared tasks and processes mean the cost of implementing and maintaining your system could have a positive effect on your costs. By conducting just one audit and one management review, you can save both time and money.

An integrated system can be a perfect fit for many businesses wanting greater efficiency. But some may prefer to keep their ISO management separate.
Before you go ahead, it’s worth bearing the following in mind:
If individual Standards are currently handled by different managers, you may need to reorganise them so that they work together more closely. You may even prefer to put one person in charge of the whole integrated platform.
An integrated system means that all of your Standards are viewed as a single unit due to their crossovers. If an auditor flags up areas for improvement (non-conformances) for just one Standard, this will affect the whole integrated product. Consistency across the Standards is key.
In order to assess the compliance and relevance of your system, an external audit may require more preparation and time.
If you’re new to ISOs and want to achieve multiple Standards in one go, you will need to implement good business practices in several areas at once. But if you have the resources and staff to see it through, it can be a great way to achieve a hole-in-one. And of course, if you already have one Standard, you are well on your way to achieving another.
Depending on your business’ structure, you may discover some clashes for the responsibility of a quality management system and an environmental system.
To ensure that every aspect of your integrated system is mapped out and maintained, the documentation to support it can become more detailed and intricate.
A common framework, known as the Annex SL, means that several ISOs now share their 10 clauses with other Standards that fall into this group. As a result, they work well together in an integrated system and changes and improvements are easier to adopt and understand throughout your business.
Our ISO options combine popularity with flexibility to give businesses a streamlined route to multiple ISOs. Simply choose the best fit for your business and your business goals.
