Effivity's QHSE Software
Effivity's commitment to corporate social responsibility is rooted in the belief that technology should be accessible to all, especially to the MSME sector that forms the backbone of the Indian economy.
The quality, health and safety management software simplifies compliance with industry regulations and ensures that businesses can focus on core operations without worrying about legal complexities. It automates the entire QHSE implementation and management process, offering real-time tracking, reporting, and risk mitigation.
The software's cloud-based system will allow MSMEs to integrate and manage their QHSE activities seamlessly, improving efficiency and reducing costs. This will help optimize operations to allow MSMEs to stay competitive in an increasingly regulated and globalized market. Effivity's solution is particularly beneficial for businesses that may lack the resources to invest in advanced technology solutions but are eager to improve their standards and compliance.
With Effivity, organizations worldwide have saved more than 65% of their resources while managing their business processes rather than operating them manually. Higher efficiency, collaboration, access control, employee-friendly interface, and a mature GRC framework supported by a team of business management specialists and experts have enabled companies to be more proactive, improve quality, reduce defects, and enhance their market share.
About ZED
Effivity's CSR initiative aligns closely with the Zero Defect, Zero Effect (ZED) scheme introduced by the Indian government to encourage MSMEs to adopt world-class quality and environmental standards. The ZED certification helps businesses minimize defects in production processes while reducing their environmental impact. It acts as a benchmark for quality and sustainability, which are critical factors for MSMEs aiming to expand domestically and internationally.
ZED has presented a model where the concept of quality has transformed from a mere aspect of compliance to a source of competitiveness. With Effivity's Quality, Health and Safety, and Environmental management software, MSMEs can simplify their approach to quality, implementing stricter processes and tracking issues effectively to achieve competitiveness.
ZED helps Indian companies focus on their cost competitiveness, technology, innovation, service delivery, lean manufacturing, and defect-free products for Zero Defect and Zero Effect (ZED).
About Make In India
Make in India, a movement by the Government of India covering 25 sectors of the economy, was launched in 2014 to encourage companies to manufacture their products in India. Make in India offers a seamless experience that includes single window clearance to establish manufacturing/processing operations in India.
A Future of Growth and Sustainability
As India continues to push for industrial growth and sustainability, initiatives like Effivity's CSR program play a crucial role in enabling MSMEs to grow in a responsible manner. The synergy between Effivity's QHSE software and government initiatives like ZED ensures that MSMEs are compliant with industry standards and contribute to the nation's growth.
Effivity's initiative is expected to have a profound impact on MSMEs across various sectors, from manufacturing to service industries, helping them streamline their operations, reduce costs, and meet the increasing demands for quality and sustainability.
Through this initiative, Effivity aims to foster long-term growth for MSMEs while promoting a culture of safety, sustainability, and quality across the Indian business landscape.
