Project overview

Poplar supported Protive throughout its ISO 9001 accreditation journey, acting as a structured project partner and practical quality-management guide. We translated the requirements of the standard into usable processes, controlled documents, evidence routines and audit-ready governance that the business could sustain beyond certification.

Key Outcomes

  • Streamlined creation, assignment and tracking of maintenance work orders.
  • More effective resource allocation and utilisation.
  • Improved reporting and operational insight.
  • Increased stakeholder confidence in the CAFM platform.

// Gap Assessment & Accreditation Roadmap

We assessed Protive’s existing approach against ISO 9001 requirements and developed a prioritised roadmap towards accreditation. This converted a complex standard into a focused delivery plan with clear actions, responsibilities and readiness checkpoints.

// Practical QMS Development

Working closely with the Protive team, we mapped operational processes and established controlled documentation, clear ownership and structured evidence packs. The emphasis was on creating a Quality Management System that supported everyday delivery rather than a document set that sat outside the business.

// Audit Readiness & Accreditation Support

We supported final audit preparation, evidence gathering and the completion of close-out actions through to accreditation. Regular actions gave the team confidence that the Quality Management System was becoming audit-ready while maintaining momentum across day-to-day priorities.

Key Outcomes

  • More effective resource allocation and utilisation.
  • Improved reporting and operational insight.
