Quality Management Systems

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO),  based in Geneva, Switzerland,  has created international standards that make things work.  They give world-class specifications for products, services, and systems, to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency and can be instrumental in facilitating international trade.  ISO has published more than 19,500 International Standards covering industries such as technology, food safety, agriculture, and healthcare.  Most companies adopt ISO standards to meet the requirements of their customers and supply chain and to demonstrate that they operate at the highest standards of their industry.

TechHelp specialists help companies find the right resources to achieve ISO certification.

We thought we’d never be certified and had tried several different avenues that never came together for us. Dave O’Connell assessed our needs and went to work for us. He helped us find and secure state funding that put us in a position to commit to the project and then lined up the resources we needed to prepare for and achieve our ISO Certification.  Dave was extremely helpful throughout the process and made this possible with his expert guidance and recommendations.  Jeanie Reimer, General Manager
