Test it on your dataA European certification body placed 98.7% of 13,598 audits automatically in one run with ScheduleAI, and raised the share of work delivered by internal auditors from 59% to 73%.
Key takeaways
- 13,598 audits were placed in a single run, 98.7% automatically.
- The share of work done by internal auditors rose from 59% to 73%.
- Every date landed inside the start and due window.
- The plan overlapped 94% like-for-like with the client's own schedule; results were validated with the client.
The challenge
A full year of management-system audits, a mixed internal and external auditor pool, and strict windows for every certificate. The goal was to keep more work with internal auditors without breaking a single window.
More work kept in-house
The engine prefers qualified internal auditors first and only reaches for external capacity where no internal option fits the rules.
Scale and accuracy
High overlap with the existing schedule shows the engine understood the organisation's rules; the differences are where it found better options.
Status of the results
These results come from real production data and were validated with the client.
What this means for your body
Planning time
If monthly planning takes days, the allocation step can usually be cut to minutes.
Internal capacity
Using qualified internal auditors first reduces subcontracted days.
Travel
Clustering nearby audits cuts kilometres, hotel nights and emissions.
Compliance
Checking every allocation against the rules removes a common assessment finding.

Check these results on your own data
- ✓Share an extract of auditors, competences and one or two months of audits.
- ✓Agree success criteria: planning time, share allocated automatically, utilisation, subcontracted days and travel.
- ✓Compare the engine's plan with your real plan, audit by audit.
- ✓Decide on a pilot only if the numbers hold.
For certification bodies, audit scheduling software that checks competence, rotation and windows on every audit takes most of this work off the planning team.
Run a year of your own audits through ScheduleAI and compare it with your current plan, audit by audit.
