Version chaos
Final_v3_REAL.xlsx on one laptop, an old copy on a tablet — auditors sample the wrong file.
Use case
Replace spreadsheet registers with live data
Spreadsheets work until two sites, three supervisors and an auditor all need the same current NCR log. Veridian replaces shared-sheet chaos with live registers — one source of truth, mobile capture and exports your certifier can sample.
Registers teams move off Excel first
- NCR and CAR logs — the first spreadsheets auditors ask for
- Incident, hazard and training matrices for safety and quality leads
- Supplier, calibration and complaint trackers for ISO 9001 surveillance
- Environmental aspects, obligations and monitoring logs for ISO 14001
Compare
Spreadsheet pain vs live registers
No audit trail
Shared sheets overwrite history; you cannot prove who changed status or when.
Field gap
Site events never make it from the truck to the master sheet — until audit week.
Export crunch
Days copying tabs into PDFs instead of one-click Word/Excel packs from live data.
Migrate
How teams switch without a big-bang cutover
- Import open actions — CSV import for NCR, CAR and incident registers (see migration guide for column rules).
- Retire one register at a time — Start with NCR/CAR; keep tender pricing and one-off models in Excel if needed.
- Assign owners — Each register needs a named person; no more “the shared drive” as accountable party.
- Run the first internal audit in Veridian — Only then delete the old master spreadsheet for that register.
