Audit Readiness Is a Competitive Advantage, Not a Checkbox
What is Audit Management?
Audit management is the end-to-end process of planning, executing, and resolving internal and external audits across quality, compliance, and supplier systems. Propel delivers instant access to accurate records, traceable documentation, and closed-loop corrective actions, so modern manufacturers satisfy regulators and drive continuous improvement.
Audit-Ready Records, Always
When compliance data lives on a unified product thread, every record carries a complete, controlled history. Teams can respond to regulatory or customer scrutiny in minutes and hours, not weeks.
Closed-Loop Finding Resolution
Speed and traceability at every step determine whether root cause findings are resolved efficiently or compound into larger compliance risk.
Supplier Audit Discipline
Standardized site evaluation processes, controlled corrective action workflows, and continuous requalification keep suppliers performing to standard and defensible against any external review.

Propel Connects Every Audit Record to Verified Action

Audit to Resolution
Propel QMS streamlines audit processes from planning through reporting with templates that organize records and control distribution to internal and external parties. Every audit record connects directly to CAPA, document controls, and supplier workflows on a single platform, eliminating handoff gaps.

More Capabilities
Electronic Records and Signatures
Propel supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic records and signatures with configurable SOPs covering user security, auto-logoff, and controlled access. This ensures your signature audit trail meets regulatory requirements without manual workarounds or paper backups.
Document Traceability
Propel maintains full visibility into document relationships and dependencies from any record in the system. This supports ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 traceability requirements that auditors commonly examine, giving teams confidence that every document connection is defensible and current.
Training Management
Propel ties document revisions to automatically triggered training assignments, ensuring employees are always certified on current procedures. Training compliance is tracked in real time, giving quality teams instant proof of completed training when auditors request evidence of process adherence.
Full Audit Trail
Every record in Propel, including documents, changes, and quality events, carries a complete audit history and platform-wide traceability. This platform-level capability means teams operate in an audit-ready state at all times rather than scrambling to reconstruct history when a review begins.
Compliance Management
Propel streamlines audit reporting and compliance with ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11, and 21 CFR Part 820 using pre-defined templates, workflows, and reports. Standardized structures reduce the manual effort of preparing compliance packages and help teams respond consistently across recurring audit cycles.

FAQ
How does Propel keep your team audit-ready between scheduled audits?
Propel maintains a full audit trail across every record, document, change, and quality event on a single platform. Because version-controlled documents, training completions, and CAPA status are always current and traceable, teams are not preparing for audits reactively. They are already prepared. Propel One also provides instant answers to compliance questions as they arise day to day.
Can Propel manage both internal quality audits and supplier audits in the same system?
Yes. Propel handles audit processes across both internal quality operations and supplier relationships within one unified platform. For supplier audits specifically, the system supports standardized site evaluations, SCAR initiation for any non-conformities identified, and controlled supplier collaboration on corrective plans, all from the same environment your quality team uses for internal audit records.
How does Propel handle corrective actions that surface during an audit?
Audit findings can be escalated directly into Propel's CAPA or SCAR workflows without leaving the system. From there, AI-powered tools help teams interrogate relevant documentation, accelerate root-cause investigation, and drive resolution faster. BOM and change management traceability lets teams connect field issues or audit findings back to specific parts and processes, reducing the time between finding and verified closure.
