A field audit programme is a supply chain: requirements, auditors, visits, evidence, review, reports and payouts. Most of it runs on spreadsheets, phone calls and WhatsApp photos.
Field audit management is running physical audits across many sites, such as stores, outlets, warehouses, pharmacies or branches, from scheduling to a verified report the client can trust.
| Stage | What happens | Where it usually breaks |
|---|---|---|
| Requirement | Sites, service, checklist and window agreed | Checklist in a different format every time |
| Assignment | An auditor is chosen and briefed | Phone calls until someone says yes |
| In-field | The visit, checklist and evidence | Photos sent later on WhatsApp |
| Review | Someone checks the evidence and score | Skipped when the deadline is close |
| Report | Results delivered to the client | Arrives a week after the visit, in pieces |
| Payout | The auditor is paid | Paid regardless of quality |
AutoAudit runs field audits for compliance, retail-ops and quality teams from requirement to verified report and auditor payout. Each requirement is scored against eligible territory managers on proximity, rating, domain expertise, capacity headroom and SLA history, with tunable weights, and the top match can auto-assign against an SLA clock. Audits run on clause-locked templates from a certified base library, where critical items cannot be deleted or softened. Every submission is screened: geo-fence check-in with mock-location detection, in-app capture with EXIF, location and time embedded in each photo, a time-motion model that flags audits finished impossibly fast, and network-wide checks for duplicate photos and repeated answers. QC is a hard gate: nothing reaches the client and no escrowed payout is released until a sampled review passes. Client, manager, auditor and HQ each get their own console on the same live record.
Running physical audits across many sites, from requirement and auditor assignment to the visit, evidence capture, quality review, report and auditor payout.
Evidence comes back in pieces over WhatsApp and email after the visit, review is manual and nothing is on one record.
By rules you can explain, such as proximity, skill in the domain, capacity and track record, rather than phone calls.
