One product in place of the consultancy's tool stack
An ISO or compliance consultancy usually runs on five or six tools: a CRM, a QMS or spreadsheets, audit templates, a file-sharing service, an accounting tool and calendar reminders. Clauseloop puts the consultancy's side of all of them in one product. Here is how it compares with the leaders in each, including where they are stronger.
| The job | Usually done in | In Clauseloop | Comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| Win clients | A CRM such as HubSpot, Zoho CRM or Salesforce | Pipeline in each client's currency, proposals, lead forms and follow-up emails | vs CRM |
| Run the certification | Spreadsheets, or a QMS built for one company | A project per client, the gap analysis answered in the portal, documents with review statuses | vs QMS software |
| Audit | Word templates or an inspection app | Clause-by-clause checklists for 12 frameworks and the Internal Audit Report as a PDF | vs Audit management software |
| Share files | Email, Google Drive, SharePoint or Dropbox | A client portal in your brand and a private file space for each client | vs Document sharing |
| Security frameworks | A compliance automation platform | SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS checklists, delivered as an agency | vs Compliance automation |
| Bill and renew | An accounting tool and calendar reminders | Milestone invoices in 10 currencies, and expiry notices at 90, 60, 30, 7 and 1 days | vs All-in-one platforms |
