Integrated Management Systems

Manage multiple ISOs from one smart system

Streamline multiple systems into a single platform for greater efficiency, co-ordination and consistency with an Integrated Management System.

What is 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.

Cost-effective solution

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.

Will an Integrated Management System suit my business?

  

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:

Structure

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.

Consistency

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.

Audits

In order to assess the compliance and relevance of your system, an external audit may require more preparation and time.

Implementation

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.

Responsibility

Depending on your business’ structure, you may discover some clashes for the responsibility of a quality management system and an environmental system.

Documentation

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.

Which ISOs can be combined?

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.
