Help certification teams discover a more connected way to work.

The operational cost of the old way

Certification cannot stay trapped in inboxes and spreadsheets

Producer groups, sites, worker evidence, premium records, and audit findings are split across spreadsheets and assessor reports.

Corrective actions lose context when they move between local teams, clients, auditors, and certification reviewers.

Travel and coordination across distant producer locations extend assessment timelines and program cost.

Buyers cannot easily distinguish a current certificate from an old document or unsupported claim.

A connected Fair Trade workflow

From first submission to current certificate standing

Configure program-specific evidence and audit paths for producer organizations, sites, and supply chains while maintaining one transparent certification history.

01

Organization and site intake

Collect producer-group structure, facilities, farms, workers, products, contacts, and requested assurance scope.

02

Evidence preparation

Organize policies, contracts, wage or premium records, worker information, environmental evidence, and prior corrections.

03

Audit planning

Assign auditors, schedule sites, select program checklists, and make prior findings and current evidence available.

04

Field and remote evidence

Capture interviews, observations, documents, photos, findings, and site-level distinctions in one controlled audit record.

05

Corrective action and decision

Route findings, receive evidence, track closure, and present the complete case for independent certification review.

06

Certificate and surveillance

Issue current scope, track dates and follow-up, and give buyers an issuer-controlled verification record.

Remote and hybrid audit readiness

Coordinate distant producer sites without losing local evidence

Document review, corrective-action evidence, stakeholder interviews, and selected follow-up can be coordinated remotely when the program permits. Auditors can reserve travel for work that requires physical presence, while certification staff retain a consistent record across languages, sites, and review stages. This helps programs use time and travel budgets more effectively.

Questions from Fair Trade agencies

Fit the platform to your certification program

Certifable supplies the operating system. Your certification body retains control of the standard, interpretation, evidence, audit method, and final decision.

Can the platform represent producer groups and multiple sites?

Yes. Programs can connect a client organization to facilities, sites, products, documents, audits, findings, and certificates.

Can evidence be collected remotely?

Yes, when the assurance program permits it. Remote evidence remains connected to the same audit and decision record as field work.

How are corrective actions managed?

Findings, due dates, client responses, uploaded evidence, reviewer feedback, resubmissions, and closure remain linked.

Can we use our own Fair Trade standard?

Yes. The assurance body configures the program structure, forms, document requirements, checklists, roles, and certificate templates.

Can buyers verify certification status?

QR-enabled verification lets stakeholders check the issuing body's current record instead of relying only on a copied certificate.
