Control Standards that provide Quality Assurance – ISO 9001
Cover-All is certified to the International quality assurance manufacturing standard ISO 9001. This globally accepted standard provides a framework for best manufacturing and process practices and is implemented by over one million companies and organizations in over 170 countries. This standard is based on quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach, and continual improvement. Following the framework is just a first step, however Cover-All takes the additional step of obtaining certification to the standard. Certification is achieved through an accredited third party performing a complete audit of the quality assurance procedures and verifying compliance. The result is a combination of validated performance statistics indicating a level of quality vs. customer expectation and level of on-time delivery. Customers benefit by knowing these numbers and having confidence this process is continually checked, improved, and tested ensuring quality products.
In conjunction with Cover-All’s PCMS and M.A.P. for ongoing campaigns customers know they are part of a robust organization with a focus on customer satisfaction and quality.

Automation that Improves Expediency and Accuracy
As part of Cover-All’s ISO 9001 customer-centric and continuous improvement approach, we have utilized automation for years by way of two interconnected platforms: Production Control Management System and Mail Automation Processing. When campaigns occur on a regular basis, investment in automation can yield significant cost savings and improve time to market.
Production Control Management System (PCMS) is a proprietary file tracking system that automates docket creation, documentation, and internal communication between departments, from estimating through to final billing.
Mail Automation Processing (MAP) is a proprietary combination of applications and custom code that acts to complete repetitive tasks and fulfill client’s business rules by automating file receipt (or pick-up), simple to complex data processing functions, the application and execution of customer business rules, final composition, and can be configured for customer reporting and near real-time back feed of data.
The combination of MAP and PCMS helps to streamline an ongoing program allowing customers to focus on other aspects of their day. Our integrated systems tracking and reporting functions are tailored to each individual customer’s needs. It automates transparency into milestones at every stage of the production process from tasks already completed, to those that are yet to be tasked, without the need to manually manage a program. This ensures that once we set up your business rules everyone is working with the same requirements, ensuring consistency and accuracy of your campaign throughout every stage of the process.
