Cloud feature

Plan and conduct audits: the entire audit process in your browser

With IMS-Audit Cloud you run the complete audit process in your browser – from planning through on-site execution to evaluation. All audit data lives centrally on the audit; the audit overview keeps every ongoing and completed audit in view. On a tablet you audit right at the line, capture findings on the spot, and derive actions from them – no media breaks and no retyping from handwritten notes later. New since September 2026: “Create follow-up audit” sets up a follow-up audit that carries over only the questions with a deviation, and with the self-assessment in advance the audited area rates itself before the audit even starts. And if your audit team works across borders, the cloud automatically translates answers in the question catalogue into each user's display language — for example, the auditor in India can answer in English and their colleague in Germany can read the answer in German, and vice versa.

What Plan & Conduct Audits offers

New: follow-up audit with the deviations only – one click creates a follow-up audit that carries over only the questions with a deviation; each question shows the actions from the previous audit for the effectiveness check on site

How it works in practice

You set up the audit with area, standard, date, and audit team, then take the tablet into production. Question by question you evaluate right on-site, capture findings the moment they occur, and derive actions with owners and due dates. In shop-floor areas without network coverage you continue offline via Excel and import the results back afterwards. Later, the audit overview shows all audits filtered by area or status so you can compare results year over year – with the derived actions already being tracked.
