cloud-based platform designed specifically for environmental laboratory accrediting bodies.<\/p>\n<p>It brings applications, scope reviews, proficiency testing, assessments, and accreditation decisions into a single, structured workflow\u2014helping programs operate more consistently, efficiently, and transparently.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of relying on disconnected spreadsheets, email, and manual tracking, AB Manager provides a clear, organized system for managing the full accreditation lifecycle.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Designed for Accreditation Programs<\/h2>\n<p>Managing a laboratory accreditation program involves coordinating applications, reviewing proficiency testing, scheduling assessments, tracking findings, and issuing accreditation decisions.<\/p>\n<p>AB Manager is built around how accrediting bodies actually operate\u2014supporting real-world workflows while improving consistency, visibility, and coordination across the program.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Why Programs Use AB Manager<\/h2>\n<p>Many accreditation programs rely on a combination of spreadsheets, email, and separate tracking systems to manage applications, reviews, and assessments.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, this can lead to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>duplicated effort across staff and reviewers<\/li>\n<li>inconsistent evaluation and documentation<\/li>\n<li>limited visibility into program status and workload<\/li>\n<li>difficulty maintaining a clear and defensible record<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>AB Manager brings these activities together into a structured workflow\u2014helping programs operate more consistently, reduce manual coordination, and maintain clearer program records.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Core Capabilities<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Applications &amp; Accreditation Lifecycle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manage applications, renewals, and scope changes within a single system.<\/p>\n<p>AB Manager allows programs to track application status, coordinate reviews, manage accreditation decisions, and maintain a complete history of laboratory activity\u2014without relying on disconnected tools or manual tracking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accreditation Scopes &amp; Parameters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maintain structured, consistent laboratory scopes of accreditation.<\/p>\n<p>Track matrices, analytes, methods, and technologies in a standardized format\u2014supporting more efficient review of scope requests and clearer, more defensible accreditation records.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proficiency Testing (PT) Evaluation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Track and evaluate PT results in the context of each laboratory\u2019s scope.<\/p>\n<p>AB Manager supports structured PT review at the matrix, analyte, and technology level\u2014helping programs assess performance more consistently and reduce the need for manual compilation across spreadsheets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Assessments, Scheduling &amp; Coordination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Plan, schedule, and track assessments across the program.<\/p>\n<p>Coordinate assessors, monitor milestones, and maintain clear visibility into upcoming, in-progress, and completed assessments\u2014helping staff stay aligned and reducing the need for manual follow-up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Findings &amp; Corrective Actions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Document assessment findings and track laboratory responses within a structured workflow.<\/p>\n<p>AB Manager helps ensure findings are consistently recorded, responses are reviewed, and follow-up actions are completed\u2014supporting a more organized and defensible review process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Certificates, Status &amp; Reporting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prepare accreditation status updates, certificates, and program outputs using consistent, structured data.<\/p>\n<p>AB Manager supports generation of standardized reports and public listings\u2014reducing manual effort while improving consistency across program communications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Field Assessments with AB Checklists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AB Manager integrates with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aqsnet.com\/index.php\/software\/ab-checklists\/\">AB Checklists<\/a> companion app, allowing assessors to complete standardized checklists during onsite or remote assessments.<\/p>\n<p>Completed checklists, observations, and notes synchronize back into the accreditation workflow\u2014reducing report preparation time and improving consistency across assessments.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Configurable to Your Program<\/h2>\n<p>Every accreditation program operates differently.<\/p>\n<p>AB Manager can be configured to reflect your agency\u2019s terminology, workflow steps, assessment types, and fee structures\u2014allowing you to improve organization and consistency without forcing a one-size-fits-all process.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>See AB Manager in Action<\/h2>\n<p>AB Manager can be configured to support your program\u2019s workflow, staff, and accreditation process.<\/p>\n<p><a
