Remote Surveys and Audits for Existing ABS Clients
Getting Started with Remote Surveys and Audits
Existing ABS clients with an account can order all eligible surveys and audits remotely for certification after registering for our user friendly, web-based platform. Once the survey or audit requests are submitted along with supporting information, an ABS surveyor reviews the request to ensure all criteria are met, including Flag State approval when necessary. Clients then have the option to interact within a mobile-friendly environment to easily capture and transmit all required videos, images and documentation while onboard in both a connected and disconnected environment that sync seamlessly. Additionally, clients can choose to use the web-based platform to submit all required documentation from an office environment. All of this allows you to order and conduct your remote surveys and audits – Anytime. Anywhere. Any Way.
Quality surveys and audits made easy.
We offer an easy and simple 4-step process to request your remote surveys and audits.
