Case Study: Schneider Electric reduces auditing time by 80% with SafetyCulture

How Schneider Electric cut auditing time and broke down information silos

Schneider Electric, a global industrial company, was struggling with slow, paper-based audits that required auditors to complete checklists by hand, return to the office, re-enter data into Excel, and wait on delayed reporting. The process created information silos and significant time lag for the Environmental Health and Safety team, even though they were using inspections across multiple sites with a 30-person auditor team.

By implementing the SafetyCulture platform for inspections, Schneider Electric streamlined reporting so auditors could complete near-miss reports in the field with photos and instant documentation. SafetyCulture cut auditing time from 15–30 minutes to 3–4 minutes per audit, reduced overall auditing time by 80%, and saved about 60 labor hours per week, while also making it easier to share and analyze data across the organization.
