ISO 9001: HELPING TO DRIVE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN CHALLENGING TIMES

Across all sectors, large and small businesses alike are continuing to face challenging conditions. Inflationary pressures, increased food/materials costs, rising interest rates and reduced spend by consumers are all underpinned by a looming recession.

Data issued by The Insolvency Service in January shows that more UK businesses failed last year than at any point since the 2009 financial crisis. Times are tough. In periods of rising inflation and recession, it is important for organisations to set themselves apart from the competition and maintain customer spend. In fact, competitive advantage could be the difference between success and failure in highly competitive markets. With this in mind, certification to ISO 9001 Quality Management System becomes increasingly valuable.

ISO 9001 is the international standard for Quality Management Systems, providing a framework for quality and continuous improvement.

Importantly in the current economic climate, certification to ISO 9001 can increase PQQ points, helping to win more tenders. It enables organisations to demonstrate their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, meeting evolving market demands. It also helps implement streamlined processes and improve operational efficiency.

All of which can help drive competitive advantage.
