Sound familiar?

Audit time shouldn't mean a last-minute spreadsheet scramble.

If getting ready for an internal audit means digging out old files, chasing people and hoping nothing was missed, this is for you.

Prep is a spreadsheet grind

Every audit means rebuilding last year's checklist by hand in Excel. The same work, over and over, before you even start.

Findings slip through the cracks

Issues get noted in an email or on paper, then quietly forgotten. Six months later the next audit finds the very same problem.

Panic before the auditor arrives

Nobody's quite sure what's due, who checked what, or whether last time's actions were ever closed. Every visit is a fire drill.

What is Fast Audit Software?

In plain words, it's the simple way to run every internal audit in one place.

Fast Audit Software plans your audits, hands auditors a ready checklist on their phone, and tracks every issue until it's fixed and signed off. Nothing lives in scattered spreadsheets or lost emails anymore — the whole audit programme runs on one system, so you're always ready, not scrambling.

Plan the whole year

Set up your audit calendar once and the software reminds everyone what's due and when. No more forgotten audits.

Run the checklist on a phone

Auditors tick answers, add notes and snap photos right on the shop floor. No paper to type up later.

Close every issue

Each finding gets an owner and a due date, with reminders until it's fixed and verified. Nothing is left hanging.

What you get

Audits that all but run themselves — and nothing left half-finished.

Hours back every audit

Reusable checklists mean no rebuilding forms from scratch. Prep that took days now takes minutes.

Nothing gets forgotten

Every finding is tracked all the way to closure, so the same problem doesn't come back next time.

Calm, ready audits

You always know what's done, what's due and who's responsible. No more last-minute panic.

Proof ready on demand

Records and reports are always up to date, so you can show the certification body exactly what they ask for.

The complete audit lifecycle

Every audit. Every finding. Every closure — on record.

Fast Audit Software carries every audit through one controlled cycle, from a reusable checklist template to a closed non-conformance — with findings and CAPA tracked, not lost in email.

Plan Template / Checklist Annual & Monthly Plan Plan Approval Assign Competent Auditor Release

Conduct Checklist Entry Findings & NC CAPA Sign-off Auditor Verify Close & Report
Plan approval before conduct

The annual plan is generated from your templates, spacing due dates by frequency and count, then routed to the Plant Quality Head for approval. No audit reaches an auditor's worklist until it is released.

One template, every audit

A checklist is authored once per standard or audit type — sections, categories and clauses — and its questions are copied into every audit of that type, so every ISO 9001 or IATF audit runs the same agreed set.

Nothing closes without sign-off

Every non-conformance runs an auditee → system coordinator → auditor sign-off with due dates and reminder emails. The audit is closed only once all NCs are actioned and verified.

Templates, plan & calendar

One checklist, reused across every audit you plan

Everything starts with the checklist. You author a reusable audit template per standard or audit type — its sections, checklist categories and clause-mapped questions — once, and reuse that single template across every audit of that type. An ISO 9001 system audit and an IATF process audit each carry their own agreed question set, held as a master rather than re-typed each cycle.

From a template you build the annual and monthly audit plan: pick the plant, the objective and a start date, set the frequency and count, and the system generates one audit per occurrence, spacing due dates and copying the checklist in. The plan routes for Plant Quality Head approval, and the calendar shows it by day, week or month.

Auditor competency & authorization

Only qualified, authorised auditors conduct your audits

Before anyone is assigned to an audit, they are scored against a competency criteria framework — criteria category to specification to score — and marked eligible or not. Supporting evidence such as training records and certificates attaches to the auditor, so the qualification is defensible when a certification body asks how you know your auditors are competent.

Each auditor's authorised audit types are recorded, and the qualification is approved by the Plant Quality Head. Only auditors eligible and authorised for that type appear when you assign an audit — and a plant-wise auditor list and auditor score report keep competency visible across the team.

Checklist entry & findings

Conduct the audit on a phone — conformance, score, clause

The auditor opens a mobile worklist of the audits due to them and answers each checklist question in turn: a conformance verdict, a score, the clause number and observations. Product and process audits add parameter checks, samples and A/B/C defects. A simple answered-versus-total counter shows how far each section has got, so nothing is left half-done.

Every answer that isn't fully complied becomes a finding — carrying its clause, a discrepancy description and an NC category that grades it major or minor, and flagged fresh or repetitive against earlier audits. The non-conformance is attributed to the auditee and the auditor, ready for closure.

CAPA closure & dashboards

Close every non-conformance — then prove it on a dashboard

Corrective and preventive action runs as a tracked, multi-role sign-off. The auditee submits a root-cause and action plan against a due date; the system coordinator and the auditor verify it; and reminder emails chase anything overdue. The audit is closed only once every NC is actioned and verified, with an NC summary register recording clause, category and fresh-vs-repetitive status. A major NC can escalate into Fast Quality's 8D / CAPA.

Throughout, auditee, auditor and HOD dashboards show pending audits and open findings, and the reports — product, supplier and system audit reports plus planned-vs-conducted-vs-closed status — give the plant quality head one live view of the programme.

Dashboards & reporting

Every audit. Every finding. Every closure — live.

Fast Audit Software ships with the dashboards and reports an audit function actually runs on — plan status, competency, checklist progress, NC summary, CAPA ageing and role dashboards — plus Dhruv AI, our own AI layer for the questions a fixed report can't answer.

Audit Calendar & Plan Status

The whole programme at a glance — annual and monthly plan, calendar by day, week or month, and planned vs conducted vs closed for every plant, type and period.

Auditor Competency Matrix

A plant-wise auditor list with competency scores, authorised audit types and the auditor score report — so you can prove who is eligible to audit what, with evidence.

Checklist Progress

Answered-vs-total for every audit in progress — which sections are complete, which are pending, and how many questions each assigned auditor still has to record.

NC Summary Register

The non-conformance register — audit, date, type, clause, discrepancy, major vs minor, and fresh vs repetitive, with per-role closure status for auditee, coordinator and auditor.

CAPA Closure Ageing

Open corrective actions by age and due date, with overdue CAPA highlighted and reminder emails scheduled — the number that decides whether an audit actually closes.

Auditee Dashboard

The auditee's landing page — pending actions, due audits and open corrective actions, so the department being audited always knows exactly what it owes and by when.

Auditor Dashboard

The auditor's assigned and pending audits, with answered-vs-total progress and open findings awaiting verification — their whole worklist on one screen, mobile-ready.

Supplier-Audit Status

Which vendors are due, in progress or closed, with their findings and re-audit dates — plus supplier, product, system and certification-body audit reports on demand.

Dhruv AI Audit Analytics

Dhruv AI, our own AI engine, clusters non-conformances into recurring themes across clauses, plants and suppliers, and answers plain-English questions like "which clause fails most often?" with the data and a summary.

The Fast suite

Works even better alongside the Fast suite.

Fast Audit Software is one of 12 integrated Fast Technology products built on a single platform. It shares the same document engine that holds your templates, evidence files and audit reports — and a major non-conformance can escalate straight into Fast Quality's 8D / CAPA workflow, on one party master, one user master, zero double entry.

Fast Audit Software also runs standalone — templates, planning, competency, mobile checklist entry, findings/NC, CAPA closure and dashboards all work without any other Fast product. The Fast Quality 8D escalation and shared document control switch on when you license those products.

Implementation that actually works

We map your audit programme first — your standards and audit types, your checklists, how you plan and approve, who audits what, how NCs are closed, gap analysis. Then we configure Fast Audit Software to fit how your quality function already works. Not the other way around.

What you get:
  • SRS sign-off before build — requirements captured, agreed, locked.
  • PDCA methodology — Plan-Do-Check-Act at every phase with periodic Plan vs Actual reporting.
  • 3 months hands-on handholding — onsite and remote, your staff trained until confident.
  • Video-recorded training sessions — staff who miss sessions can re-watch at any time.
  • End-user sign-off before go-live — nothing switches over until your team says it is ready.
