Case Study: Rocky Brands achieves 70% reduction in quality audit data collection, management and reporting time with Certainty Software

Reduced Quality Audit Data Collection, Management & Reporting Time by 70%

Rocky Brands, a global leader in footwear and apparel, faced inefficient, paper-based Quality Assurance, LPA, verification and lean manufacturing audits that were manually rekeyed into Excel. This process required a full-time associate, created 1–2 day reporting delays, consumed filing space and produced error-prone, inconsistent data — so Rocky Brands turned to Certainty Software for a digital audit and inspection platform.

Certainty Software deployed a tablet-based solution across Rocky Brands’ QA teams (and later Safety, Maintenance and Engineering), giving real-time, consistent audit and inspection metrics. The implementation cut data collection, management and reporting time by over 70%, with individual auditors saving more than 2 hours per day (about 25%), and enabled timely, accurate and actionable quality reporting across the business.
