The Use Case

Your Digital SMETA Audit Prep Center

Stop the pre-audit scramble. Streamline your entire preparation in one central hub—from initial gap analysis and chasing site-level data to the final document review. Sunhat replaces scattered spreadsheets with a structured Proof Library, combining framework expertise with seamless collaboration. Focus on ensuring compliance on the factory floor instead of drowning in paperwork and broken document links.

Reusable Templates

Scalable Audit Readiness Across All Sites.

Manually creating SMETA document-cheecklists for every factory leads to errors and redundant work. Sunhat’s reusable templates allow you to standardize your audit prep. Create one master template based on SMETA standards and roll it out to all production sites with one click — ensuring high-quality compliance across your entire supply chain.

  • Standardized Best Practices: Use pre-configured SMETA templates that can be customized to fit the specific needs of different regions or production types.
  • Effiziente Multi-Site Management: Oversee the audit prep for 5, 10, or 50 sites simultaneously without losing track of local progress or bottlenecks.
  • Automated Document Mapping: Once a global policy is verified as a proof, it is automatically mapped to all relevant site checklists, eliminating the need for manual uploads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers on evidence management, automated document validation, and how to establish Sunhat as your central source of truth of your proof.

How does Sunhat shorten the SMETA audit preparation time?

Instead of manually digging through scattered folders, you link existing proof directly from your Proof Library to SMETA checklists. This eliminates duplicate searches and cuts prep time from months to just a few weeks.

Can we manage SMETA preparations for multiple production sites at once?

Yes. Sunhat allows you to create standardized SMETA templates and roll them out across all locations. You can track the real-time progress of every site from one dashboard, ensuring global compliance consistency.

How does Sunhat help reduce external audit costs?

By using the Auditor Access Mode, you provide auditors with read-only access to your digital documentation before they arrive. Since they can verify many proof remotely, on-site audit time can be reduced by up to 25%, lowering billable audit days.

What happens if a document, like a Health & Safety policy, is updated?

In the Proof Library, once a proof is updated, it automatically syncs across all linked SMETA assessments. You no longer have to worry about outdated PDF copies sitting in forgotten folders.

How do we prioritize the most important gaps before the auditor arrives?

Sunhat uses visual criticality tracking. You can immediately see which missing documents relate to "Major" or "Critical" SMETA requirements, allowing your team to close high-priority gaps first.
