A selection of Qudos clients

The following illustrates how we have helped just some of our clients to meet certification requirements and achieve their business objectives.

 

Qudos client - Australian Valuers

Australian Valuers

Australian Valuers provide a wide range of valuation services and independent consultancy advice with some specialist work; including Management Rights, Motels and ‘Fair Value’. With its Head Office on Queensland's Sunshine Coast and other local offices, the business covers much of Australia and some parts of the Pacific Region.

The company provides its professional services to individuals and coprorate entities - including major banks. In line with an increasing trend, it was beginning to be asked by some major clients to provide assurance of information security management. So, in early 2021 invited Qudos to assist in establishing a formal ISMS (Information Security Management System) to suit its needs and that could be certified to the ISO 27001 standard. After an initial Gap Analysis, we also provided QudosIMS software plus consultancy and internal audit services. Most of the system development work was performed in-house - which achieved a very high level of 'ownership' of the system. Australian Valuers was successfully certified to ISO 27001 by Best Practice Certification in December 2021.

Compliance Manager, Karen Meredith states "The QudosIMS software  is a total management system that affords the ability to be able to comply with certification requirements, is easy to use and came with extensive personal training and very informative videos and supporting information. This system has allowed us to set up a management system right the first time!!"

This service includes the scheduling, performing and recording of internal audits. It is facilitated by the use of QudosIMS software to efficiently and cost-effectively support the system in the cloud.

Allmet General Manager, Shane Heit had this to say about the service being provided:

“The Qudos consultants worked to really understand our business from the ground up. They have become part of the Allmet family – helping to keep us on track. The ongoing process improvements are already providing a return on our investment”.

Allmet Operations Manager, Ian Littlefair is an enthusiastic user of QudosIMS software, stating “It’s automation saves my team a great deal of time in compliance and risk management tasks.  It is incredibly easy to navigate through the various components and provides us with a concise and yet thorough reporting system when called upon.”

Qudos Our CLients Logo - Jaws

Jaws

Jaws is Australia's leading specialised manufacturer of attachments for the Mining, Construction, Earthmoving, Quarrying and Materials Handling Industries. Founded in 1970, Jaws today employs over 140 highly skilled personnel in over 10,000 m2 of undercover factory featuring the most modern fabrication technology available.

Quality management improvements

Jaws has ISO 9001 certification by SGS, and the company believes that its reputation for providing a quality product is enhanced with this quality endorsement. Previously, Policies, Procedures and Work Instructions were housed on an internal network, without the most convenient access for sales, service, and regional staff. This was also coupled with an electronic improvement register that was not as effective as desired. Mindful of the need to improve its systems, Jaws reviewed several software packages and determined that the application that best suited its Quality, OHS and Environmental Management System needs was Qudos3.

Quality/Safety Manager Adam France states; "The Qudos3 system meets our current and future electronic quality system goals, by way of an Internet connectable software package for our sales and service teams providing them up to date current information while out in the field, and an Intranet environment for our production site. The system provides further support by offering increased security, flexibility, accessibility, and a corrective and preventive actions register. This system we believe will supply all the characteristics needed to assist Jaws Buckets & Attachments in maintaining our current certification, and improving our overall management system
