Auror announces the release of Audit by Auror, created to solve challenges around the audit workflow, help generate real operational outcomes with audit data, and improve store safety. 

Following countless feedback from retail partners asking for a better audit workflow, Audit by Auror delivers a simple, intuitive, and insightful experience that you can count on from start to finish. Rather than stop there, we have designed Audit by Auror to offer more beyond a better workflow, to help inform critical business decisions around store performance and safety.

Why it’s time to rethink audits 

From our conversations with retailers, we learned how painful existing audit processes could be. These pain points are found in:

• Audit data that fails to support effective decision-making
• Workflows that are unintuitive and don’t fit in with the way their business works
• Ineffective collaboration features that don’t drive action or change

Overall, retailers are unable to unlock the full potential of their audit data, leading to a lack of understanding around operational performance, improvements that need to be made, and how to reduce opportunities for harm. On top of this, traditional auditing practices involve clunky software and outdated practices, such as using spreadsheets or even paper-based forms.

Audit by Auror solves these challenges by providing a simple and accurate way to complete audits all on one platform, vastly improving the workflow. From here, we advance it by integrating audit data with crime intelligence on the Auror platform, offering a comprehensive view of store performance and risk.

Auror Director of Retail Partnerships Alaina Kring says the new way of doing audits will offer an incredible return on investment in terms of time and ease of use.

“If you think about what it is like now with audits, whether you’re using paper, or you’re using Excel spreadsheets, you’re using a very old antiquated system and you’re not able to get out of it what you truly need. It takes a lot of time to not only conduct the audits, but also create them,” she says.

Why Audit by Auror stands out

From a complete overhaul of existing auditing processes to smaller, but punchy, features, there are a number of ways Audit by Auror is different from the rest.

Optimized and organized workflow: Audit by Auror’s simple, structured flow makes it easy for teams or individuals to build and complete accurate audits, and create follow-up actions. Included is the ability to write notes, upload evidence, add images, automatically populate information about the store, create customizable questions and answers, and categorize audits into preset or custom themes.

See and do more with valuable insights: With the potential to link audit data with Auror’s Retail Crime Intelligence platform, retailers can connect insights between audits and store performance. This creates a more holistic view of risk and enables data-driven decision-making.

Little touches of magic: Our team thought hard about how Audit by Auror addresses all the challenges that come with loss prevention and all the ways in which traditional auditing solutions fail to solve those problems. That’s why we have included features such as the ability to save progress and return later to avoid unnecessary loss of data, version control to make editing easier, and the ability to invite field team members already using Auror to enhance collaboration. Rather than rely on manual processes and spreadsheets, Audit by Auror is optimized for tablet use and features a clean and simple user interface. 

Additionally, all of this can be done in the Auror app so there is no need to switch between different platforms.

Kring says all of these features help elevate Auror Audit above and beyond what exists already.

“I think what really is going to make Auror Audit stand out is the fact things are going to autosave, we’re going to have insights over what’s going on within the stores, and we’re also going to be able to pull data to share at any time with C-suite leaders, or even divisional or directors. This lets them have a full holistic view of what’s going on from a compliance standpoint within the company.”

Work smarter, not harder with Audit by Auror

Better performance and safer stores comes from an innovative, streamlined, user-first audit solution, not spreadsheets and complicated processes.
