Southpac Certifications

My role at Southpac Certifications is to grow our network and the Southpac brand within industries or companies with a stake in or need for ISO certification.

We are HYPER responsive.  We offer competitive pricing, outstanding customer service, and generate valuable feedback for company decision makers from the annual audit.  

Businesses often learn about ISO due to requirements of a tender.  Or they may already know the value of certification since other business leaders or consultants have mentioned its necessity.  Having an external audit of a business is a way to identify weaknesses or opportunities for improvement, so that it can go on to further growth.

The principles of ISO should already be a part of any well-run business.  However, the ISO accreditation process formalizes and measures a companies processes and procedures against internationally accepted standards.  This tells other businesses or government departments that your company is robust, trusted, and has been measured against and meets quality standards.  It provides for consistency in the delivery of products and services to meet performance standards as well as customer expectations.

When ISO began to emerge decades ago, it was to address the needs in the technical, manufacturing, and aviation fields.  However, in the decades since, the same principles have since been applied to a multitude of industries and seen to be just as useful.  

Nearly any industry or business in our modern day can benefit from the formalized approach of ISO accreditation.

From the small business to the large organisation, each one must consider IF, and critically WHEN, to implement their QA.

If QA is already sorted, then if they should go for ISO certification:
1. To enter new markets
2. Win bigger contracts
3. Assure the market they're 'safe' to engage
4. Build their brand
5. Get higher on list when tendering

Look, you might already know the above.

Maybe you're waiting on the right timing to pull the trigger.

If you're reading this, then I'm here to help you when you decide the timing is right.

Connect if you would like to receive regular updates and education on all things QA/ISO.   

Or DM me.

I post regularly to educate my viewers on ISO related content.

Depending on how far implemented your system is, you could be ISO certified in a couple months.

It depends on some factors.

If you're not ready, then I have a network of experts I know that can help you prepare.
