🌍 Global PT Management System – Transforming Proficiency Testing Through Digital Automation

🌍 Case Study: Global Proficiency Testing (PT) Management System

Delivered by: CPD Technologies


🧭 Introduction

Proficiency Testing (PT) programs are vital for maintaining consistency and reliability across testing laboratories worldwide. Yet, the manual coordination of PT activities—registrations, dispatch tracking, data collection, and result evaluation— often leads to inefficiency, errors, and reporting delays.

To address this challenge, an international quality organization partnered with CPD Technologies to design a unified, digital ecosystem that could bring every stage of the PT process online, ensuring transparency, global accessibility, and ISO 17043 compliance.


🚩 The Challenge

The legacy PT process relied on spreadsheets, manual email coordination, and repetitive data entry across multiple stakeholders. Program coordinators faced difficulties in tracking sample movement, collecting results, and ensuring timely evaluations. These bottlenecks not only slowed down reporting but also impacted data accuracy and participant satisfaction.

The need was clear: a digital platform that could streamline participation, automate evaluation, and maintain full traceability across all stages while being multilingual and globally scalable.


💡 Leadership Intervention

CPD Technologies conceptualized and implemented a complete Global PT Management System — a web-based application that connects all PT stakeholders under a single digital workflow.

The system aligns with ISO 17043 standards and integrates modules for registration, dispatch, evaluation, certification, and finance — eliminating silos and ensuring end-to-end automation.
