We’re here to make compliance easier, faster and smarter

At Checkfirst, We Believe the future of certification, Inspection, and Compliance is AI-assisted not Admin-driven.

Our mission is to eliminate inefficiencies from critical quality and regulatory processes by building AI tools designed for real-world planners, inspectors, and auditors.

Founded in 2021, 
Checkfirst was born from a common frustration

cToo many certification and Inspection teams were still running mission-critical workflows in Excel, Outlook, and Email threads.

We set out to build AI-native tools that reduce compliance friction, increase transparency, and return time to the professionals who uphold global standards.

Built by experts, backed by leaders

At Checkfirst.ai, we believe the future of certification, inspection, and compliance is AI-assisted not admin-driven.

I don’t fight with excel anymore. ScheduleAI actually understands what I need to do.

Planner
Industrial Certifications

Before, I’d lose half a day if one auditor called in sick. Now it’s re-optimized in seconds.

Senior Scheduler
Medical Device Inspections

This isn’t just a scheduler. It’s like having a second brain dedicated to planning.

Head of Planning
Food Safety Audits

I used to plan 3 weeks ahead, and still miss something. Now I run a rolling plan with zero surprises.

Operations Coordinator
Certification Body

Every audit had a conflict before wrong person, expired credential, wrong region. That’s gone now.

Compliance Scheduler
ISO Audits

It’s scary how fast ScheduleAI finds the best match it even tells me why it chose someone.

Planner
Global Audit Team

The AI caught a credential that was about to expire saved us a failed audit.

Technical Manager
GFSI Certification

We have over 100 contractors. I don’t know how I did this manually before.

Scheduling Lead
Agricultural Certification Firm

Finally… a tool that thinks about utilization, geography, AND qualifications all at once.

Planner
Large European TIC Company

No more version control issues. No more 6am calls to fix a double-booking.

Scheduling Manager
Product Testing Firm

I sleep better. That’s the honest truth. ScheduleAI handles the chaos for me.

Planning Lead
Certification Body

When I saw how quickly it scheduled around public holidays and vacations, I was sold.

Regional Coordinator
Compliance Operations

We onboarded a new planner last month she was productive within hours thanks to ScheduleAI.

Operations Director
Mid-Sized TIC Firm

Even our external auditors are happier. They get visibility, reminders, and clarity without chasing us.

Planner
3rd Party Inspection Team

We saved 14 days of admin time just in the first month. That’s not a marketing line that’s my report.

Business Analyst
Certification Planning Team

Rescheduling used to be a crisis. Now it’s just a click.

Head of Planning
Global Inspection Firm

When our biggest client changed the scope last minute, ScheduleAI handled it before I could even panic.

Planner
UKAS-accredited Body

I used to spend my weekends fixing audit plans. Now I hit ‘generate’ and move on.

Planner

For the first time, we have visibility across all teams, all locations, and all workloads in one view.

Our industry, our mission

Every safe product, every clean factory, every audited process starts with one truth:

Someone had to get it right. Compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes.

It’s about ensuring products are safe, food is clean, buildings are stable, and systems are trusted.

And the professionals behind that responsibility? They take pride in doing it right, every time.

At Checkfirst, we exist to support those professionals.

That’s why we build AI tools that scale quality. Not shortcuts.

We know you don’t compromise on quality. You can’t. The stakes are too high.

Your work defines trust in the industries you serve and your tools should help reinforce that, not undermine it.

What we believe

He principles that power our platform and protect your standards.

Quality first

Audits aren’t admin. They’re about getting it right.

AI should amplify integrity

We don’t replace human rigor. We strengthen it.

Tools must be accountable

Every output must be explainable and traceable.

Scale without compromise

You should be able to grow without cutting corners.

Modular by design, scalable by default

Solving complexity without creating more

Most enterprise tools fail because they ask too much, too soon. At Checkfirst, our architecture is built on modular principles letting organizations adopt one capability at a time, whether it's scheduling automation, document verification, or reporting consistency.

Why it matters

“If all your water is in one tank and it gets infected, you're finished. Thousands of tanks? One fails, others survive.”

Who we work with

We serve organizations trusted to uphold global frameworks from ISO 9001 to GlobalG.A.P., BRC, ESG standards, and national regulatory schemes.

Clients include:

Designed for change before the cliff edge

Compliance teams are reaching a breaking point

Legacy systems, disconnected tools, and rising audit volumes are pushing many organisations toward operational failure. Our clients don’t wait for systems to collapse they act now with smart, safe innovation.

What we offer

Rapid simulations to validate ROI before any commitment
Tools that align with accreditation requirements and industry KPIs
Built-in change management support across people, systems, and processes

Change is coming whether you’re ready or not. We’re the bridge between your current process and What comes next.

Bottom-up adoption that actually works

Empowering the people who keep your system running

Many of our most successful deployments didn’t start in the boardroom. They started with subcontractors, planners, and QA teams who needed better tools. Our contractor-ready modules (like ScheduleAI lite) create organic adoption from the ground up.

How we enable this

Tools that solve real problems for independent contractors

Referral and reward mechanics to foster viral spread

Enterprise-level visibility from individual-level usage

“Contractors aren’t just users they’re champions of better systems. And when their lives improve, organisations follow.”
