What certification clients check
A food producer seeking halal certification needs a certificate accepted by their buyers and by the markets they export to, which depends entirely on which bodies recognise yours. They also need the audit process, the timeline and the cost, usually against a contract deadline. Consumers and buyers, meanwhile, need to verify a certificate they have been shown, and currently cannot.
What we build for a body
First, standards, scope and international recognition stated explicitly, since acceptance in the destination market is the whole purchase decision. Second, the application process with stages, timelines and pricing, because clients work backwards from a buyer deadline. Third, online certificate verification, which protects the value of your certificates and is what buyers and consumers actually use. Fourth, a client portal for audit scheduling and surveillance, since certification is a recurring relationship rather than a single transaction.
