What exactly is the Achilles certification process?

Construction, oil and gas, and utility companies all benefit from Achilles, which was founded in 1990 to help them maintain a higher level of control over their operations. Achilles strives to identify, analyse, and monitor the supply chain of a diverse variety of firms in the hopes of lowering risk for purchasers bidding on tenders and maintaining high industry standards in the process.

What exactly is the Achilles certification process

The certification service enables you to identify the most qualified organisations that can deliver high-quality outcomes and performance, hence increasing the likelihood that the bids you promote or purchase will be successful.

In what manner does the Achilles Certification Process operate?

The Achilles Certification process entails an evaluation of a number of performance variables inside your company’s organisation. These are the ones:

Health and safety, environmental quality, and corporate social responsibility are all important considerations.
It is a two-day process that includes an evaluation of the management system as well as an on-site assessment. During the certification process, an auditor will ensure that the appropriate systems and protocols are available in order to conduct a thorough assessment of the systems and procedures. A system audit is performed on the second day of the process to confirm that the correct procedures are being applied throughout the organisation.

What is the reason for its widespread acceptance and endorsement?

In the United Kingdom, as well as the rest of the world, Achilles Certification is the most generally recognised and accepted certification programme available. The long-term reliability of its risk assessment systems distinguishes it from competitors, and it provides the openness required to let businesses place their trust in the organisations with which they do business.

Because it enables businesses to examine and select the most dependable businesses, you can be certain of a high level of quality that is not attainable anywhere else in the world.

What Are the Benefits of Accreditation for Your Company?

Achilles accreditation certification in a given field is required by tenders, and enterprises must hold this certification in order to compete. Without Achilles accreditation, your company will be unable to attain the level of growth that will allow it to improve its reputation and increase its revenue. Businesses that do not have Achilles certification may find it difficult to compete for tenders, especially when they are up against established organisations that have sought out and obtained the essential accreditation in their respective industries.

The Advantages of Accreditation

Achilles certification offers a plethora of advantages to those who pursue it and are successful in obtaining it. These advantages are as follows:

Increased likelihood of being awarded tenders
Achieving Achilles certification, as previously indicated, can significantly improve your chances of obtaining tenders that your company submits a proposal for. It is nearly hard for most businesses to receive bids unless they have proper Achilles accreditation in their respective industries. As a result, completing the accreditation process will put you one step ahead of other businesses who do not have these certificates, increasing your chances of success.

Gained greater confidence from organisations within your industry
Certifications and accreditations, regardless of your industry, can immediately elevate your status as a more dependable alternative for businesses to consider. The fact that Achilles is such a highly recognised and regarded scheme will give the impression that your company is one that other organisations can rely on. It ensures openness and guarantees that you comply with industry regulations, which saves their organisation from having to deal with any headaches while working with you and your organisation.

Increased recognition within your industry.
When competing on tenders, credibility is a critical thing to consider, and an Achilles certification and accreditation will assist your company in building and maintaining its reputation, thereby increasing its credibility.

Access to a diverse range of organisations for the purpose of tender bidding
Businesses who fail to obtain proper certifications run the danger of falling behind their competitors in their market because they lack access to respected organisations that may assist them in increasing earnings. By getting Achilles certifications, your firm can be assured of continuing growth as well as the possibility to collaborate with a variety of organisations that can have a good impact on the company’s overall growth and development.

Costs have been reduced.
All businesses strive to keep operating costs as low as possible. Obtaining Achilles certification provides the means to accomplish this goal.
