At AQS, we\u2019re always looking for ways to make the accreditation process more efficient, flexible, and practical for real-world use.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to introduce AB Checklists<\/strong>\u2014a new companion app for AB Manager that allows assessors to complete inspections anywhere, anytime\u2014even without internet access<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Why AB Checklists?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Field assessments don\u2019t always happen in ideal conditions. Whether you\u2019re in a remote location, a basement lab, or simply dealing with unreliable Wi-Fi, connectivity can be a challenge.<\/p>\n

AB Checklists solves that problem.<\/p>\n

With this new app, assessors can:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Download assigned checklists directly to their device<\/li>\n
  • Complete assessments fully offline<\/li>\n
  • Capture observations in real time<\/li>\n
  • Sync everything back to AB Manager when reconnected<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    How It Works<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    The workflow is simple and designed to fit seamlessly into your existing process:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Prepare in AB Manager<\/strong>
      Assign checklists to an assessment as you normally would.<\/li>\n
    2. Download to Your Device<\/strong>
      Log into AB Checklists and download the assessment and associated checklists.<\/li>\n
    3. Work Offline<\/strong>
      Complete the inspection on a laptop, tablet, or phone\u2014no internet required.<\/li>\n
    4. Sync When Ready<\/strong>
      Once you\u2019re back online, sync your work to AB Manager. Your completed checklists and responses are instantly available in the system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n

      Built for Real-World Assessments<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

      AB Checklists was designed with assessors in mind:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Reliable in low or no connectivity environments<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Mobile-friendly interface<\/strong> for use on tablets and phones<\/li>\n
      • Streamlined checklist navigation<\/strong> for efficient inspections<\/li>\n
      • Seamless integration with AB Manager workflows<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        Important Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Checklists are downloaded and stored locally on your device<\/li>\n
        • Syncing will overwrite the current version in AB Manager\u2014so coordination is important if multiple users are involved<\/li>\n
        • Best practice is to focus on one or two active assessments per device<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          Part of the AQS Ecosystem<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

          AB Checklists is part of the growing AQS software platform, working alongside:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • AB Manager<\/strong> \u2013 Accreditation management for ABs<\/li>\n
          • QA Manager<\/strong> \u2013 Quality management tools for laboratories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Together, these tools create a connected system that supports both accrediting bodies and laboratories with shared workflows and consistent expectations.<\/p>\n

            \n
