Paima SpA operates within a complex production environment where multiple internal departments and various external suppliers must coordinate daily to ensure operational continuity and precision.
Before going digital, audits and documentation were managed through Excel spreadsheets, shared folders, and emails. While this system worked in theory, the growing volume of checks and documents made maintaining order increasingly difficult. It wasn’t uncommon to encounter version control issues or documents saved in different locations, making it challenging to reconstruct an accurate activity history.
Paima SpA is a leader in high-end Italian knitwear, specializing in prototypes, samples, and knit garments for luxury brands. Its solid, well-structured internal organization works in synergy with a reliable network of suppliers, ensuring precision, punctuality, and continuity throughout every stage of production.
Over time, managing audits, non-conformities, and documentation had become increasingly fragmented. Information was scattered across numerous files—often duplicated or outdated—making it difficult to gain a clear overview of ongoing activities.
The daily reliance on Excel and paper forms slowed down workflows and complicated coordination between departments. This sparked the need to take a step forward and adopt a digital solution capable of centralizing everything in a single space, simplifying processes, and making information retrieval instantaneous.
Paima chose Audit Manager in its search for a comprehensive tool that could adapt to both its internal workflows and the activities shared with suppliers.
Over time, the platform has become the go-to resource for managing three fundamental pillars of daily operations with clarity and traceability:
Second-party audits
HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) inspections
Documentary checks
This integrated approach has streamlined the work of the Production and Supply Chain departments, facilitating activity monitoring and fostering better collaboration.
Following the implementation of Audit Manager, Paima reported significant improvements in its daily operations:
Faster turnaround: Reduced time for both preparing and closing audits.
Enhanced traceability: Greater clarity in tracking activities and non-conformities.
Seamless coordination: Smoother communication and hand-offs between involved departments.
Centralized records: Improved documentary order thanks to a single source of truth.
Supplier autonomy: Suppliers can now upload documents independently, significantly reducing internal filing time.
Scalability: The ability to send questionnaires to multiple suppliers simultaneously, even while audits are in progress.
The transition from fragmented management to a single digital system has empowered the company to work with greater precision and speed. The team can now handle multiple fronts in parallel without losing sight of data flows, benefiting from a level of oversight that is vastly superior to the past.
