CLOUD-BASED COMPLIANCE AND INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR ARCHITECTS

As an architecture firm, providing high-quality service to all clients is essential. But with paper-based systems, this can be unnecessarily difficult.

With a cloud-based system that is ISO compliant, architects can achieve efficiencies, compliance and greater customer satisfaction.

Cloud-based systems that meet ISO and architecture industry standards

Our cloud-based systems are compliant with ISO Standards such as:

• Quality Management System (ISO 9001)
• Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001)
• Environmental Management System (ISO 14001)

As architecture firms work towards improved compliance, many find that migrating to cloud-based software is an effective way to build all of their processes into one convenient paperless system. Day-to-day workflows can be automated, all data is stored securely in the cloud, communication becomes smoother, and systems are flexible and agile, which supports greater cost-effectiveness.

Architects can also opt to implement multiple ISO and other industry Standards simultaneously by integrating them into one lean cloud-based system. This reduces documentation duplication, making it faster to apply updates.

To make things even simpler, our cloud-based system can integrate with hundreds of other platforms, which makes working between existing platforms seamless.

By implementing a fully customised cloud-based system, architects can work seamlessly to achieve customer requirements. With the new culture of working from home, remote personnel can also easily access and work on projects.

Developing lean ISO compliant systems helps architects not only achieve certification but also maintain compliance in the months and years ahead, future-proofing the business.
