Hilcon Ltd is a concrete supply company that provides ready-mixed concrete to sites all over Hampshire.

Recently, the Hilcon team decided that implementing a quality management system and achieving ISO 9001 certification would be a great way to show potential customers just how dedicated they are to providing the best service possible. However, they were a little concerned that getting certified would use up a lot of the company's time and resources.

It was this concern that led them to ISO Accelerator. We specialise in fast-track ISO certification - in fact, if you're a small/medium business based in the UK, we can typically get you certified within just 7 days.

We worked with Hilcon to help them develop an effective, ISO-compliant quality management system; once this was in place, the company completed a Self-Declaration of Conformance to state that their QMS met the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 standard. We are pleased to say that Hilcon Ltd is now an ISO-certified business!

From there, you will be able to enter the certificate's individual identification number into the certificate checker for immediate confirmation of validity.

For companies seeking ISO 9001 certification, the prospect of the accreditation process can be a dark cloud looming on the business horizon, presenting laborious days and costly delays.

However, thanks to USAS-accredited ISO certification from ISO Accelerator, those fears can be wiped clean and, instead, be replaced with online efficiency and unobtrusive integration.

Sound too good to be true? Read on to find out just what digital certification from ISO Accelerator can do for you and your business.

Who are USAS?

Based out of Florida in the United States, USAS are an internationally-recognised accreditation body, offering accredited online certification for small- to medium-sized businesses. This covers companies that employ 25 individuals or less. (Companies with more employees can also apply on a case-by-case basis where numbers of employees perform the same tasks, e.g. Production Workers, Drivers, Salespeople, etc.)

USAS describe themselves as an “independent, impartial and paradigm pioneer in the field of accreditation”, which is no exaggeration.

Offering well-defined standards to ensure the technical competence and integrity of its accredited organisations, USAS are respected worldwide for their innovative and user-friendly business acumen, as well as their novel approaches to accreditation.

Through the USAS-accredited ISO certification process, we at ISO Accelerator give businesses around the globe the ability to get certified online, backed by a US-based third-party accreditation body.

Financial Benefits of Digital Certification

From a financial standpoint, digital certification has a notable upside, presenting numerous remunerative benefits.

First and foremost, the cost of digital certification is typically less than the alternative route, providing like-for-like monetary comparison that is as plain as day.

It’s also far more economical from a time standpoint, requiring fewer resources and labour hours than physical certification services, therefore allowing you to better utilise those resources elsewhere.

Additionally, it can be completed at a time that suits you, allowing you to schedule the task in line with your own timetable and priorities. During periods of heavy workload where focused labour is needed elsewhere, this fact alone can be hugely beneficial.

Environmental Benefits of Digital Certification

In addition to the litany of measurable financial advantages, the benefits of digital certification also extend to the environment.

In a modern society where conservation is becoming increasingly important, more and more aspects of daily life have been taken online in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions and lessen the environmental impact: from e-tickets to online bank statements.

Digital certification is no different, and can have a profound effect on the carbon footprint of the certification process. The online nature of digital certification negates the need for a physical auditor to drive to and from the site, creating a process that requires significantly less travel.

Over the course of a year, the energy-saving benefits can be significant. In fact, cutting out the annual travel needs of just one auditor can result in a reduction of CO2 emissions that literally measures in the tonnes.

Why Choose ISO Accelerator?

When it comes to management systems and the associated standards, digital certification is a novel approach to the accredited certification process that’s tailor-made for the digital age of today.

Whether you’re involved with a SME or a large-scale organisation, maintaining a level of service that’s consistently high for your customer/client base is vital in achieving improved or continued success year after year.

For distributors, this ethos is no different, and both quality and consistency can be the key ingredients for successful relationships and a thriving business.

Attaining ISO certification can be a fantastic way to streamline and optimise your business, improving a number of aspects of your business for enhanced customer satisfaction.

ISO Certification for Distribution Businesses

The distribution channel can have many links, involving a number of processes, stages and players at each level. As such, distributors and distribution businesses can benefit greatly from ISO certification.

Streamlining your business can not only increase performance and enhance the customer/client experience, but also save your business money along the way.
Cutting out an inessential part of the equation can be extremely rewarding and cost-effective, ultimately increasing revenue as well as performance.

ISO certification can do just that. ISO 9001 is the globally-recognised standard for quality management systems and achieving this will ensure your QMS is fit for purpose.

As an internationally-recognised accreditation, attaining ISO certification also adds credence to your business and professional credibility to your services, both nationally and internationally.
