SCIIL FlexAudit is flexible process audit software for manufacturing companies. The mobile audit software enables organizations to plan different audit types centrally, conduct audits directly on the shop floor and evaluate the results without manually transferring data.
The process audit software covers the entire digital audit process—from audit catalogues and checklists to automated scheduling, mobile audit execution, findings, corrective actions, reports and real-time dashboards.
- Central audit catalogues and digital checklists
- Automated scheduling and notifications
- Mobile audit app for smartphones and tablets
- Online and offline audit execution
- Findings documented with descriptions and photos
- Root cause analysis and corrective action management
- Audit reports and real-time dashboards
Plan process audits digitally, conduct them on mobile devices and evaluate results centrally
Paper checklists, separate Excel files and manually prepared reports make it difficult to establish a consistent audit process. Information is stored in different locations, the latest catalogue revisions are not always clearly identifiable and open corrective actions require time-consuming follow-up.
SCIIL FlexAudit connects every step within one central system. Auditors receive their scheduled audits, conduct inspections using digital checklists and document deviations directly on site. Results, findings and corrective actions are then available without any additional data transfer.
This creates a traceable digital audit process with up-to-date information for quality management, production management and shop-floor teams.
We would be pleased to show you how SCIIL FlexAudit can be adapted to your audit types, checklists, production areas and existing processes: Learn more about SCIIL FlexAudit.
Why companies digitize their process audits
In manual process audits, a significant share of the workload is caused not by the inspection itself, but by preparation and follow-up:
- Audit schedules and dates have to be maintained manually.
- Checklists have to be distributed and kept up to date.
- Results from paper forms have to be transferred afterwards.
- Photos and additional information are stored separately from the audit.
- Findings and corrective actions are tracked in different lists.
- Recurring deviations are difficult to identify.
- Monthly reports have to be compiled manually.
With digital audit software, schedules, checklists, results, findings and corrective actions are available centrally. Current status information and evaluations can be accessed immediately, without separate Excel analyses or manually prepared monthly reports.
FlexAudit functions for the complete audit process
Manage audit catalogues and digital checklists
Audit catalogues, sections and audit questions are managed centrally in SCIIL FlexAudit. Responsibilities and user permissions determine who can edit, review or approve individual catalogues.
Changes are version-controlled and documented in a traceable way. The system provides auditors with the currently approved version during audit execution. This ensures that shop-floor auditors always work with up-to-date and consistent audit checklists.
Catalogues can be assigned to different plants, areas, teams or audit types. This allows company-wide standards to be combined with application-specific inspections.
Schedule process audits automatically
SCIIL FlexAudit supports rule-based scheduling for recurring and individual process audits. Audit dates, responsibilities and recurring intervals are defined centrally.
Auditors can be notified automatically about upcoming audits and reminded about outstanding inspections. The audit scheduler shows which audits are planned, completed or overdue. Quality and production managers therefore receive an up-to-date overview without maintaining separate schedule and status lists.
Conduct audits online and offline with the mobile audit app
The mobile audit software and audit app allow auditors to conduct process audits directly on the shop floor using a smartphone or tablet. Depending on the system configuration, the app can be used online and offline, making it suitable for production areas with limited network coverage.
Audit questions are evaluated directly as OK or NOK. Descriptions and photos can be added to document deviations. All information is captured during the audit, eliminating the need to transfer handwritten results afterwards.
Guided mobile data entry supports consistent audit execution and helps less experienced auditors work through predefined checklists correctly.
Track findings and corrective actions systematically
NOK evaluations can be converted directly into findings and assigned to the responsible employees. Causes, corrective actions, responsibilities and due dates can be recorded for each finding.
Automatic notifications inform the responsible employees about new tasks. Open and overdue actions remain centrally visible and can be filtered by status, responsible person, area or due date.
This establishes a traceable connection between the audit, the identified deviation, its root cause and the corresponding corrective action.
Use real-time audit dashboards and reports
Audit dashboards visualize the current status of planned and completed audits as well as the progress of open findings and corrective actions. Charts and KPIs help identify recurring issues, problematic areas and overdue tasks at an early stage.
Results and management reports are available without manually consolidating different lists. Quality management, production management and shop-floor teams therefore receive up-to-date information for decisions and improvement activities. Extended analyses help identify trends and recurring deviations.

Which process audits can be managed with FlexAudit?
SCIIL FlexAudit is not limited to one specific audit method. The software is particularly suitable for companies that want to organize different inspections with their own checklists, responsibilities and workflows in one common system.
5S audits
FlexAudit enables companies to manage 5S audit catalogues centrally and schedule inspections at recurring intervals. Results, deviations and photos are documented directly in the inspected area. Dashboards help visualize developments and recurring weaknesses.
Gemba walks and shop-floor audits
Individual question catalogues, areas and responsibilities can be defined for Gemba walks and operational shop-floor audits. Observations and findings are recorded directly on site and subsequently processed within a structured workflow.
Internal and customized process audits
Company-specific process audits, safety inspections, IT audits and other checklist-based inspections can also be configured in FlexAudit. Audit catalogues and workflows are adapted to the respective operational requirements.
FlexAudit or eLPA—which audit software is right for you?
SCIIL provides two solutions for different audit concepts.
SCIIL FlexAudit is designed for freely configurable process audits and different audit types such as 5S audits, Gemba walks, shop-floor audits and customized process inspections.
SCIIL eLPA was developed specifically for Layered Process Audits. The software supports audit layers, auditor groups, different audit frequencies and the cross-plant management of LPA programs.
If a company wants to manage different audit types flexibly using digital checklists, FlexAudit is the appropriate solution. For a systematic Layered Process Audit program with multiple audit levels, SCIIL provides its dedicated eLPA software.
