Gensuite EHS Software applications, from the company of the same name in Cincinnati, span across six functional program areas: Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) and Sustainability, Quality, Security, Responsible Sourcing, Product Stewardship, and Equipment Asset Management to ensure workplace needs are completely covered.
Auditboard is especially useful for SOX control testing. It is very convenient having all our information on a single platform. It is easy to communicate PBC requests to clients, store control testing working papers for review, communicate deficiencies and build dashboards to provide visual statistics. Situations where it might not be useful are for organizations that are smaller in size where the templates don't fit well with their internal audit/controls program. There is a significant amount of testing required before using the platform, and adapting working papers to fit in well with AuditBoard
Gensuite is well suited for concern reporting, it also empowers organisations with enterprise asset management. Gensuite core competency is of safety management system and they have meticulously developed software understanding the needs and expectations of the industries. In an nutshell it can used as Safety Compliance Software along with capabilities of computerised asset management like that of CMMS application. Existing ERP users can integrate safety module alone which is very much powerful given the features available.
We used to perform our Risk Control Analysis (RCA) for each audit's planning in an Excel spreadsheet. Once we purchased the Risk Oversight module, AuditBoard helped us convert the RCA to a system function rather than a spreadsheet. At first, we lost some of the functionality the spreadsheet provided, but AuditBoard did continue to help us build and work towards a solution more similar to what we previously had. Though happy with it, it's still not perfect. As one example, I'd like to be able to link actual Ops Audit work steps that cover the risk and controls being outlined in the RCA, rather than just adding a comment to state which steps cover them. More of a preference, I suppose.
I also had demoed their beta Resources and Scheduling module, but it didn't have enough functionality at the time to work for how we put the quarterly Internal Audit schedule together (using Excel). One thing I recall was that you couldn't pull in SOX controls or non-chargeable work (such as education or administration) to auditor's schedules; it was meant to schedule the Ops Audits only. It is possible they have already fixed or improved this; I just haven't seen the updated version.
Gensuite Mobile UI of simple and its easy to login and in web applications company SSO logins are available which makes life easier. In mealtime you can take images of unsafe acts, unsafe incidents, near misses and other concern reports and directly be logged on to with an click. This feature empowers every employee to participate in the safety program.
There were no good reason to reach their support because demo programs and available tutorials online makes ease of usage of app more explanatory beyond this since its a workflow based application it empowers implementations to design their forms accordingly to own custom needs which makes it easier for trainers to train people for the system
I remember there were a lot of sync issues when I used the internally developed software, but that's probably because a few people were working on the same project at the same time. I have not come across this issue in AuditBoard
Used Spotlight in comparison to Gensuite. Spotlight helps you set up things for free Whereas it's not the case with Gensuite. Spotlight is more useful for startup organisations whereas Gensuite is used for organisations across different business domains creating a benchmark across the functions of the company helping the apex management to concentrate on the areas of improvement defining Policies in line with the data acquired.
Hard to quantify. It was cheaper than the tool we had and we were able to get rid of standalone tool for surveys. overall, just better user experience for all.
