Case Study: SGS achieves centralized, automated global standards management with SAI Global

SGS centralize and automate their Standards management worldwide

SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, faced a fragmented standards-management process in which staff worldwide risked using out-of-date standards and regions duplicated purchases. SGS selected SAI Global (SAI Global Information Services) to provide an integrated online solution — a single protected portal to manage and deliver a library of more than two million national and international standards to its global workforce.

SAI Global implemented a flexible, role‑based system delivering ISO, ASTM and API standards with 24/7 desktop access, real‑time updates and comprehensive reporting. The SAI Global solution centralized purchasing to eliminate duplicate buys, ensured auditors and inspectors reference the latest standards, and provided measurable usage and procurement reporting — improving control, compliance and cost efficiency across SGS’s global operations.
