An Integrated Management System (IMS) integrates a company’s systems and processes into one governing framework. Quality Management Systems (QMS), Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS) are examples of systems that are governed by an IMS.

This unified approach has multiple benefits, like improved efficiency, accountability and risk management. However, for larger organisations, managing these systems isn’t always easy without an effective software platform.
