The following changes have been made to the Authenticate platform


Assessment Scheduler


A new feature has been created to assist users scheduling on-site / third party assessments


This works as a back and forth data collection to allow:


Available Dates Request

  • Requests are sent to a supplier with suggested dates to perform an audit / assessment


Supplier Response

  • The supplier receives an email / task to provide a response to confirm if they are available for the suggested dates or provide alternatives


Review Dates & Request Proposal

  • Once the supplier responds, assignee's of the request can request a proposal from a third party auditor to complete the assessment


Provide Third Party Proposal

  • The company requested to provide a proposal to carry out the assessment can provide a response and a proposal document


Approve Proposal

  • Once the proposal is submitted for review, it can be 'approved' or 'changes requested'


Schedule Assessment

  • Once approved, the third party assessor will be notified to schedule the assessment for the confirmed dates to complete the request




As part of the next release, users will be able to schedule an assessment directly after requesting dates from the site to allow them to complete the assessment without the need for a third party assessor. 

They will also be able to 'close' requests if the dates / proposal are not able to be progressed
