CABAMS – A Complete Certification Body Management System
Designed to bring accuracy, consistency, compliance, and operational control across the entire certification lifecycle.
CABAMS (Certification Authority / Body Automation Management System) is a purpose-built software platform developed specifically for Certification Bodies. It addresses the real operational and compliance challenges faced during audits, certification decisions, surveillance management, and accreditation assessments.
Unlike generic ERP or CRM systems, CABAMS is engineered around ISO/IEC 17021 requirements, IAF mandatory documents, and scheme-specific audit rules. Every workflow, calculation, approval, and report inside CABAMS is designed to be defensible, traceable, and audit-ready.
Built for the Entire Certification Lifecycle
CABAMS manages the complete lifecycle of certification operations: from initial client application and contract review, through audit planning and execution, to certification decision, surveillance, and recertification.
Each stage is interconnected — ensuring no missing documents, no skipped approvals, and no manual handovers that could introduce compliance risks.
- Application & contract review with rule-based validation
- IAF-compliant man-day calculation and approvals
- Audit planning, execution, and NC tracking
- Certification decision with impartiality control
- Surveillance and renewal scheduling
Accuracy, Standardization & Compliance by Design
One of the biggest challenges for Certification Bodies is maintaining consistency across auditors, offices, and regions. CABAMS solves this by embedding standardized logic directly into the system.
Audit templates include clause-level guidance, expected evidence, and risk indicators. Man-day calculations follow IAF rules automatically. Competence matrices ensure auditors are assigned only where they are approved.
The result is a system that does not depend on individual interpretation — but instead enforces a uniform, accreditation-aligned approach across all operations.
Designed for Multi-Office & Global Operations
CABAMS is ideal for Certification Bodies operating through multiple offices, regions, or countries. Head Office retains control over decisions, impartiality, and governance, while regional and marketing offices work efficiently within defined boundaries.
With role-based access, shared dashboards, multi-language support, and centralized reporting, CABAMS ensures that growth does not compromise compliance.
Real-Time Visibility for Better Decisions
Leadership teams gain instant visibility through real-time dashboards covering audit progress, NC trends, auditor utilization, financial performance, and client growth.
Every KPI is drill-down enabled — allowing decision-makers to move from summary view to evidence-level detail without delay.
