AB Manager

Accreditation Management Software Built for Accrediting Bodies

AB Manager is a cloud-based platform designed specifically for environmental laboratory accrediting bodies.

It brings applications, scope reviews, proficiency testing, assessments, and accreditation decisions into a single, structured workflow—helping programs operate more consistently, efficiently, and transparently.

Instead of relying on disconnected spreadsheets, email, and manual tracking, AB Manager provides a clear, organized system for managing the full accreditation lifecycle.

Designed for Accreditation Programs

Managing a laboratory accreditation program involves coordinating applications, reviewing proficiency testing, scheduling assessments, tracking findings, and issuing accreditation decisions.

AB Manager is built around how accrediting bodies actually operate—supporting real-world workflows while improving consistency, visibility, and coordination across the program.

Why Programs Use AB Manager

Many accreditation programs rely on a combination of spreadsheets, email, and separate tracking systems to manage applications, reviews, and assessments.

Over time, this can lead to:

duplicated effort across staff and reviewers
inconsistent evaluation and documentation
limited visibility into program status and workload
difficulty maintaining a clear and defensible record

AB Manager brings these activities together into a structured workflow—helping programs operate more consistently, reduce manual coordination, and maintain clearer program records.

Core Capabilities

Applications & Accreditation Lifecycle

Manage applications, renewals, and scope changes within a single system.

AB Manager allows programs to track application status, coordinate reviews, manage accreditation decisions, and maintain a complete history of laboratory activity—without relying on disconnected tools or manual tracking.

Accreditation Scopes & Parameters

Maintain structured, consistent laboratory scopes of accreditation.

Track matrices, analytes, methods, and technologies in a standardized format—supporting more efficient review of scope requests and clearer, more defensible accreditation records.

Proficiency Testing (PT) Evaluation

Track and evaluate PT results in the context of each laboratory’s scope.

AB Manager supports structured PT review at the matrix, analyte, and technology level—helping programs assess performance more consistently and reduce the need for manual compilation across spreadsheets.

Assessments, Scheduling & Coordination

Plan, schedule, and track assessments across the program.

Coordinate assessors, monitor milestones, and maintain clear visibility into upcoming, in-progress, and completed assessments—helping staff stay aligned and reducing the need for manual follow-up.

Findings & Corrective Actions

Document assessment findings and track laboratory responses within a structured workflow.

AB Manager helps ensure findings are consistently recorded, responses are reviewed, and follow-up actions are completed—supporting a more organized and defensible review process.

Certificates, Status & Reporting

Prepare accreditation status updates, certificates, and program outputs using consistent, structured data.

AB Manager supports generation of standardized reports and public listings—reducing manual effort while improving consistency across program communications.

Field Assessments with AB Checklists

AB Manager integrates with the AB Checklists companion app, allowing assessors to complete standardized checklists during onsite or remote assessments.

Completed checklists, observations, and notes synchronize back into the accreditation workflow—reducing report preparation time and improving consistency across assessments.

Configurable to Your Program

Every accreditation program operates differently.

AB Manager can be configured to reflect your agency’s terminology, workflow steps, assessment types, and fee structures—allowing you to improve organization and consistency without forcing a one-size-fits-all process.
