Simplify Audits & Inspections with the New Audit Power Apps

BPA Audit & Inspection App on Microsoft Power Apps.

The audit app is dedicated to auditors or inspectors working on the field, on production lines, or visiting stakeholders. It can be used with a mobile device anywhere, even when no internet connection is available. The app runs on a web browser or Microsoft Power Apps.

The app is designed to work together with BPA Quality on Office 365. The audit preparation, like selecting questions is done in the full-featured BPA software. Follow-up actions are also tracked in the back-office software, together with dashboard and Power BI reports. Prebuilt workflows – running on Power Automate – automate the whole audit process.

The audit app reads data and questions from the BPA software. While auditing in offline mode, data will be stored in the app and uploaded to the BPA software once a connection is available.

For each question, auditors can touch the screen to set compliance and take photos, record voice or upload documents as proof of evidence.

As a conclusion, the BPA Audit App brings auditors & inspectors the best experience while auditing, even when no connection is available. The back-office full-featured BPA software consolidates audit data together with other modules to continually improve compliance and performance.

Audits Made Easy with the New Audit Power Apps

Audit management is not a straightforward process and includes different steps for planning & preparation, execution, follow-up, and closing.

At BPA, we have developed tools to simplify the overall audit process:

  • The audit module in BPA Quality is the place to plan and prepare audits by selecting questions for any quality standard or inspection type.
  • An automated workflow send reminders to the concerned persons and calendar invitations to auditees.
  • While auditing, the new Audit Power Apps is used by auditors anywhere, even offline, to set question compliance by touching the screen, take photos and record voice.
  • Back in the office, auditors review data and multimedia in the BPA Quality software, and track follow-up actions until they are effective. Powerful BI reports present consolidated audit metrics.

By providing the right tools for the right activities, we maximize auditors experience throughout the whole audit process.

Audits Made Easy, Even Offline

The new Audit Power Apps is designed for maximal user experience while auditing.

The audit Power Apps is designed to run on tablets or phones and gives ultimate experience while auditing, even when no Internet connection is available.

The full-featured BPA Quality software is used to prepare audits, select questions, collect auditors data and multimedia (from the audit Power Apps), track follow-up actions, and display BI reports.

Introducing BPA Power Extensions on Office 365

BPA Power Extensions are powerful add-ins to extend capabilities of your existing BPA software on Office 365.

BPA Apps run on SharePoint with Office 365 and natively interface with technologies like Microsoft Teams for instant collaboration, Power Apps for mobile solutions, and Power Automate for process automation. With BPA Power Extensions, organizations will discover the almost unlimited capabilities of Office 365 by using our business applications. We have grouped extensions in 3 groups, by technology:

Instant Collaboration with Teams Apps

Microsoft Teams is used by millions of users for instant collaboration. Teams can be used as “interface” to BPA Apps for accessing or adding data. A new App had been released for searching and sharing business information in BPA Apps while discussing in Teams, without leaving the chat box (view video here: BPA List Search with Teams)

Workflow Templates on Power Automate (Flow)

Microsoft Power Automate, formerly named Flow, is becoming the most powerful process automation tool on the market, bringing a lot of cross-technology automation capabilities and connectors. We have developed prebuilt workflow templates to be plugged in your BPA Apps, like compliance document, nonconformity or audit workflow sets. Process automation brings information to the concerned users on the tools they are working with, productivity is improved and cost is reduced.

Mobile Solutions on Power Apps.

We are working on mobile solutions with Power Apps to give the best user experience and ergonomics for processes like inspection, audit or incident reporting. These mobile apps run on mobile phones and tablets, and can be used by workers on the field or production lines to register incidents or controlling items by taking photos, videos or recording voice.
