What are the benefits of ISO Certification

ISO as an independent standard setting organization, publishes the International Standards based on the needs raised by the ISO committee members or the related stakeholders.

These standards that are officially published by ISO Committee, addresses the basic question of defining the best way of doing any activity in the form of certain requirements and recommendations stated in the standard

Before we start with the benefits of ISO certification, you can refer the blog on ISO certification to get better understanding of these outlined benefits.

Let us try to categorize various factors that can be considered as top 10 benefits of ISO certification.

IMPROVED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BY MEETING CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS

In recent times, it is largely evident that in most of the scenarios where companies would approach ISO Consultants like us for ISO certification with a one point agenda of meeting a customer’s specific requirement. This specific requirement from a customer would be to say that they do business with vendors or partners that are ISO certified with specific standard. This makes most of these companies to get ISO certification in order to get new business or to retain their existing business with the customer.

The major flaw that happens with these companies is that they look at short-term remedies and perhaps fail to visualize the long-term benefits that ISO certification has to offer.

It is a basic fact that, by having an ISO certification in a right approach will not only meet the requirements of the customer but shall also help you in adhering to those requirements as prescribed by the standard. This shall also enhance the quality of the processes involved thereby resulting in better quality products/ services.

This very approach of quality through continuous improvement initiatives would help the companies to consistently meet the requirements of customer and hence enhancing their satisfaction levels as a value addition.

GET MORE REVENUE AND BUSINESS FROM NEW CUSTOMERS

With an international reputation that an ISO certification brings in, helps the organizations to improve their processes and deliver effective products and services that shall enhance the confidence of the customer.

With a possibility of enhanced satisfaction and reduced costs, the opportunities for enhanced business potential in both the current and new markets are considerably high.

Also, a statistical data shows that 41% of the companies taking up ISO certification were doing so to be compliant with customer requirements (ISO certificate). This means to say that, having an ISO certification prior to approaching a new client will have a unique advantage and edge over the competitors.

ISO certification can open new markets that were virtually unable to do business with before the certification.

IMPROVED COMPANY CREDIBILITY THROUGH CONSUMERS TRUST AND CONFIDENCE

A management system standard is all about adhering to the needs of the industry standards thereby making the lives of end users or the consumers benefited.

Certification of any International Management System Standards for any company means that the consumers can have the confidence in their products as safe, reliable and of good quality.

This shall inevitably improve the credibility of the company as well as enhance brand reputation in the market!

DEFINE, UNDERSTAND AND COMMUNICATE THE COMPANY PROCESSES INTERNALLY

Any International Standard that is implemented by an organization with the help of ISO Consultants, shall speak of documented information. This will ensure that an organization clearly defines and describes its processes to have better management and control over the business operations. This will also help the team internally to better understand their responsibilities and improve consistency as products and services pass through the specific process as defined. This initiation of transparent process definition sets a clear form of communication to the entire team as to what is expected of the resources.

DEVELOP A PROFESSIONAL CULTURE THROUGH SYSTEM DRIVEN ECOSYSTEM

Implementing an ISO Management System standard can empower an organization’s employees. ISO certification will provide an organization, a clear expectation that has to be set (quality objectives and policy definitions), the tools that are needed to meet those expectations like objectives (procedures and work instructions), and a methodology or a process flow for an honest and reasonable (qualitative) feedbacks on the system and their performance (process metrics). This ecosystem of policy driven environment will improve the company culture and makes the entire workforce of the organization more professional and thereby helping them to align towards the accomplishment of company goals.

In addition to this, the documented processes and the trainings provided to the employees as part of system implementation help them learn processes and adhere to the system requirements quickly and effectively. What are the Benefits of ISO Certification
