UKAS
The UK’s national accreditation body replaced spreadsheets, emails and Word documents with Nulogy Quality & Compliance, speeding up accreditation and improving the experience for more than 3,000 accredited organizations.
UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) is the only national accreditation body recognized by the UK government. It assesses the competence, reliability and integrity of organizations that deliver certification, inspection, testing and calibration services, from the pathology tests behind NHS diagnoses to solid fuel testing for the renewable energy sector. UKAS has more than 500 employees and conducts more than 30,000 assessment days each year.
Disparate systems slowing down accreditation
UKAS ran audits and assessments across spreadsheets, emails and Word documents. With no clear view of audit status, it was hard to monitor auditor and client performance.
Communication delays created friction during assessments and slowed the resolution of key issues, while disconnected systems led to inconsistent, delayed reporting across departments and schemes.
We are excited to be entering into this partnership with Nulogy to deliver a web-based reporting platform which is a key part of our overall strategy to digitize our assessment services, enabling the use of data to further enhance the value we provide to customers and stakeholders.
Outcomes
With the full accreditation journey in one platform, UKAS reported improvements across consistency, client collaboration and turnaround times.
The Entire Audit Life Cycle in One Place
Auditors work in a single platform covering planning, data collection, non-conformance tracking and reporting. Audit activity is standardized across UKAS, with no switching between tools.
Auditee Portals for Smoother Client Collaboration
Each UKAS client has a secure portal to view findings, reports, non-conformances and upcoming schedules. Clients can start self-assessments remotely, creating a continuous feedback loop with auditors.
Faster Accreditation Turnaround
Automated alerts, workflows and dashboards help non-conformances get captured and resolved faster. Auditors assign tasks, set deadlines and track corrective actions in real time, so timelines are met.
