LEADING ISO AUDIT & CERTIFICATION BODY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

We had a dream, as CB owners and managers: an audit & certification management software simplifying the life and generating savings for both auditors and back office. We made this dream happen since 2008 with the ViaSyst SaaS Management Software, used nowadays by 31+ CBs and 3 scheme owners.

SaaS (Software as a Service) means:

  • access through secured login codes on any browser – interactive access with clients
  • no license, no device specific installation, no version update to purchase
  • pay by use (i.e. yearly fees for CB application & certificates)
