Case Study: SMMT achieves faster global audit collaboration with Ideagen Collaboration Portal

SMMT streamlines global audits for 70,000 certified organizations with Ideagen EHS

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), which governs the global IATF 16949 certification scheme, faced significant inefficiencies in its audit operations. Communication with international certification bodies was slow and fragmented, relying on email and leading to poor document version control. To address these challenges, SMMT partnered with vendor Ideagen EHS to implement the Ideagen Collaboration Portal.

Using the Ideagen Collaboration Portal, SMMT established a centralized, cloud-based system for audit management. The solution provided dedicated workspaces for each certification body, enabling real-time document sharing, version control, and streamlined approvals. This implementation by Ideagen resulted in faster audit requests, reduced email traffic, and improved global collaboration, transforming the efficiency and transparency of SMMT's operations.
