Ensuring product quality at every step

Whether handling fresh ingredients, semi-finished goods, or packaged products ready for sale, ensuring consistent quality is non-negotiable. From goods receipt through production, logistics to the point of sale, the smart auditing software acture provides the tools needed to assess, document, and safeguard product integrity throughout the entire supply chain.

Product quality is rarely determined by a single factor — it's a combination of visual appearance, sensory characteristics, packaging integrity, microbiological safety, and more. With smart audits, quality checks are no longer limited by rigid templates.

Smart Auditing and Operations

The system allows organisations to build checklists tailored to their specific product and item requirements. Whether it's branded packaging compliance, freshness indicators, or supplier-specific tolerances, item-related Check Forms enable teams to evaluate each product accurately and consistently.

Describing a product deviation in words is one thing — showing it is another. That's why acture includes multimedia tools, allowing inspectors to capture photos, videos, voice memos, and annotations directly within the check process.

If a batch of goods arrives with dented packaging, discolouration, or an unusual odour, the deviation is documented visually and in context. These details aren't just stored — they're directly linked to the relevant item and supplier.

Every product check is archived as an item-related quality report. These reports are automatically saved in a central archive and can be accessed, filtered, and analysed at any time — by product, supplier, or type of non-conformity.

When quality deviations are detected, immediate action is initiated. Based on predefined rules and thresholds, inspectors can trigger escalation procedures such as supplier notifications, rejection workflows, or internal incident reviews - by creating a ticket. This ensures that substandard goods never reach customers and that every deviation remains fully documented and traceable.

Beyond daily quality control, the data collected through smart auditing builds a robust foundation for long-term product quality assurance. Over time, organisations gain insight into recurring defects, high-risk suppliers, and seasonal trends.

Whether in food production, retail, logistics, or supplier management, smart audits adapt to operational reality. Different product types, storage conditions, or compliance standards? No problem. The platform allows for complete customisation while ensuring results remain standardised, comparable, and audit-ready.
