Simplify Outsourced Partner Evaluation: Cloud-based P-mark/ISO Management Tools 'P-mark Assist,' 'ISMS Assist,' '9001 Assist,' '14001 Assist' Unify Operations with Consignment Business Operator Management Ledger and Evaluation Templates.

3A Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Hiroto Takeshima), which provides "Certification Partner," a P-mark/ISO acquisition and operation support service with the No. 1 track record in P-mark and ISO consulting (Note 1), has significantly renewed the Consignment Business Operator Management Ledger in its cloud-based P-mark/ISO management tools, 'P-mark Assist,' 'ISMS Assist,' '9001 Assist,' and '14001 Assist.'

With this update, a new, independent "Consignment Business Operator Management Ledger" has been established for each fiscal year, allowing for the organization of outsourced partner (contracted business partner) management on an annual basis. Past records can also be checked simply by switching ledgers, providing an at-a-glance understanding of the management status. Furthermore, by preparing pre-approved "Evaluation Item Settings (checklist templates)" internally, evaluations can be completed simply by selecting a template. This prevents inconsistencies in checklist content among staff. In addition, the previous operation of creating individual evaluation forms for each outsourced partner has been reviewed and improved to a system where common checklist items can be applied to all outsourced partners. This reduces management effort while achieving unified evaluation quality.

- Overview of "Outsourced Partner Management and Evaluation (Management Ledger / Evaluation Template)"

Previously, outsourced partner management lacked clear annual divisions and was not independent as a ledger, making it difficult to manage past records such as "which outsourced partners were evaluated how last year."

Also, evaluation checklist items were not unified, and staff could freely modify the content, making it challenging to conduct evaluations and approvals based on unified company-wide standards.

With this improvement, a new, independent "Consignment Business Operator Management Ledger" has been established for each fiscal year, clearly defining annual management. By switching ledgers, the status of past years can be immediately confirmed.

Furthermore, a function has been added to pre-create and register internally approved "Evaluation Item Settings" (checklist templates). For each outsourced partner's evaluation, selecting this template automatically reflects the checklist items, eliminating the need for manual input.

This prevents inconsistencies in evaluation content among staff and enables company-wide consistent outsourced partner evaluations.

- About the cloud-based P-mark/ISO management tool 'Assist' series

The 'Assist' series, a cloud-based P-mark/ISO management tool boasting the No. 1 cumulative number of introductions in cloud-based P-mark/ISO management tools (Note 2), easily resolves the hassle and stress associated with new P-mark/ISO acquisition and operation.

The 'Assist' series is a tool that allows for efficient and smart cloud-based operation of document creation, schedule management, and other tasks necessary for new P-mark/ISO acquisition and operation.

Developed based on numerous concerns about P-mark/ISO management accumulated by our company, which has supported over 9,000 companies in P-mark/ISO acquisition and operation, for those who "struggle with in-house ISO operation," "are considering new P-mark acquisition," or "want to reduce the burden on staff." It allows for centralized management of documents required before audits, such as document creation and record creation, which were previously cumbersome in P-mark/ISO acquisition and operation. It also significantly saves time through progress management and guide functions at a more reasonable price than market rates.

Currently, it has been introduced by a wide range of companies, from large corporations to SMEs, across various industries and business types. In just 1 year and 2 months since its release, the cumulative number of introduced companies has exceeded 3,000 (as of April 2026).

Moving forward, we will continue to support companies in efficient ISO/P-mark acquisition and operation through the 'Assist' series.
