You only need to allocate 2–4 hours per week, and we guarantee that you will pass the external audit. This makes the process simple, fast, and efficient, so you can quickly start benefiting from the certification and the improvements that follow.

    TIM is a unique cloud-based and activity-driven management system that ensures your management system does what it’s meant to do – guide and steer your organization toward success.

    Can we implement multiple ISO standards?

    Yes, it is possible to implement multiple ISO standards either simultaneously or gradually. For example, you can start with quality (ISO 9001) and environment (ISO 14001) and add occupational health and safety (ISO 45001) as your organization grows and hires more employees. This creates a unified and efficient management system.

    What is an ISO standard, and why is it important for my business?

    An ISO standard is a set of requirements that an organization and its management system must meet. If all the requirements are fulfilled, the company can become certified according to the ISO standard, which is a mark that the management system meets an approved level. Implementing an ISO standard helps your business strengthen trust with customers and partners, reduce costs, streamline processes, and comply with legal requirements.

    Do I have to purchase the ISO-standard?

    No, you do not need to purchase the ISO standard when working with us. All the requirements from the chosen ISO standard are integrated into our innovative management system, TIM. When new versions of the standard are released, TIM is automatically updated with a customized interpretation to ensure you are always aligned with the latest requirements.

    Do we need to conduct a GAP analysis?

    No, you do not need to conduct or purchase a GAP analysis. TIM includes all the requirements for the ISO standards, so you can find everything you need to comply directly in your management system.

    Do you usually update TIM?

    Yes – we are continuously working to improve and update TIM. This is not only to make the ISO work as efficient as possible for all users, but also to develop new features in the system.

    Is it safe to input critical business information into TIM?
