Standards with maximum flexibility

Every audit, check, or inspection is only as valuable as the insights it delivers. But just as important for auditors is the usability of the tool — and how smoothly and intuitively the process can be carried out.

With the smart auditing solution acture, inspections are performed through an easy-to-use, intuitive interface on a mobile device, supported by flexible features and intelligent automation running in the background.

Discover the countless possibilities for configuring intelligent Check Forms.

Auditors observe, listen, and focus on the facts — smart auditing takes care of the rest

Even before an audit, check, or inspection begins, all relevant information is readily available. In the acture app on the mobile device, all inspection sites, including the associated contacts and stakeholders, are accessible. Data and reports from previous audits, as well as company-specific framework information, are also available at any time.

Depending on the use case, the Check Form contains a structured set of questions that not only enables easy and intuitive navigation, but also allows flexible access at any point — for example, when the auditor chooses a different order in practice than originally defined in the form. At the end, the system automatically checks for completeness to ensure that no important point is overlooked.

Using the integrated traffic light system, auditors can quickly and easily evaluate each checkpoint. This applies to a wide range of scenarios — from food safety inspections in restaurants or food service branches, to hygiene checks in retail outlets. It also includes GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) audits in production facilities, workplace safety checks in logistics centres, and supplier audits far from home. The intuitive rating system ensures that every result is clear and standardised. It is always tailored to the specific sector and organisational requirements, regardless of who conducts the audit or where it takes place. Context-based instructions can provide helpful guidance if needed. And if the organisation is ready to take the next step, AI assistance can help easily identify where non-conformities may be spotted.

In addition, auditors can record their findings in real time using multimedia documentation — such as photos, videos, voice input, sketches, or annotated floor plans. This transforms audits from routine control tasks into powerful tools for operational insight — a true step forward. A single photo can often capture a situation more clearly and quickly than handwritten notes on paper. Faster means better — and better means spending less time and money on issues that could be avoided with modern solutions.


Intelligent processing – automatically in the background

While the audit is underway, the smart auditing system automatically processes all entries in the background. Each evaluation is calculated based on the organisation's specific scoring model — whether it's a points-based system, penalty matrix, weighted grading scale, or complex rule-based thresholds.

The result? A fully automated, structured analysis that reflects quality and compliance standards — without placing any additional burden on the auditor.

In organisations with multiple brands, departments, or audit types, consistent evaluation is critical. Smart auditing ensures comparability across different audit catalogues by applying unified scoring models — even when the content varies. This makes it easy to benchmark performance, identify trends, and drive targeted improvements across the entire network.

Always ready for use – anywhere and fully traceable

Whether online or offline, the smart auditing solution ensures that auditors have everything they need at their fingertips: contextual information, device data, past findings, and more. From warehouses to store counters, audits can be performed anytime, anywhere — with full traceability and integrity.

Once the audit is complete, reports, tickets for efficient resolution of non-conformities, and any predefined process steps or workflows are automatically triggered.

Conclusion: More than just a checklist

With smart auditing, audits become more than just checklists — they become clear indicators for improvement. The combination of flexible standards, multimedia tools, and automated evaluation makes every audit, check and inspection faster, more reliable, and significantly more insightful in the long run.
