Why SIMSA Operational Audit Platform

Ignorance is not a bliss for any business.

Operations are exposed to the risks, more than ever. As many of the processes e.g. manufacturing, Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Distribution Logistics etc. are being outsourced, the companies need a mechanism to ensure if the quality, regulatory, safety, security, process compliance are in place. With increasing pressure on cost & meeting deadlines, employees tend to take shortcuts & exceptions. While the KPIs look good but it exposes the operations to greater risks.

Audit has been a tested mechanism to exercise controls on the internal and external operations. However, the process of Audits has been a broken due to dependence on Excel sheets, biases of untrained auditors. SIMSA team has studied various challenges across different industries before developing this audit solution, that not only saves time but also makes ensures timely identification & mitigation of risks.

However, the long-established manual processes results in high audit cost, lack of end-to-end audit visibility, and gaps in compliance. Also, the cumbersome process of follow-ups on corrective actions through e-Mails, leads to lack of discipline and dilution of accountability.
