Back in 2018, Zero Trace Procurement (ZTP) Ltd, a forward-thinking company specializing in energy and carbon footprint management, found itself at a turning point.

With their mission to provide innovative solutions like the Trace Management Portal, they needed to ensure their operations met the rigorous standards of ISO certification.

 

However, maintaining compliance within the fast-paced energy consultancy environment brought several challenges:
A lack of in-house expertise in ISO Standard Management Systems.
Difficulty maintaining consistent documentation and adherence to evolving standards.

Limited resources dedicated to conducting internal audits and identifying operational inefficiencies.

For a company striving to lead in energy management, achieving and maintaining ISO compliance was essential but increasingly complex. ZTP needed a trusted partner to guide them through the compliance maze while enabling them to focus on their core mission.

Enter ParagonQMS Ltd, a company with over three decades of expertise in ISO Standard Management System Certification and Consultancy. ParagonQMS identified ZTP’s specific needs and tailored a solution to address their challenges effectively.

Comprehensive ISO Consultancy: ParagonQMS provided ZTP with strategic guidance to meet ISO standards seamlessly.

They assessed ZTP’s existing documentation and processes, identifying and addressing gaps in compliance.

Certification Maintenance Scheme: To ensure long-term compliance, ParagonQMS integrated a certification maintenance program. This included monitoring ISO audits, regular system document updates, and ongoing assessments.

Internal and Supplier Auditing: Thorough internal auditing was rolled out to enhance ZTP’s operational efficiency and ensure their processes aligned with ISO requirements.

Training and Support Programs: To empower ZTP’s team, ParagonQMS conducted training sessions, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to maintain compliance independently.

By offering personalised, efficient services, ParagonQMS allowed ZTP to align with international benchmarks while keeping their focus on their industry-leading energy solutions.

The tangible results of this partnership were transformative for ZTP:
