5S audit app for lean teams and ISO preparation

Score every zone on the tablet, photograph non-conformities, and show improvement over time.

Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardise, Sustain. You know the theory. But without a structured scoring tool, 5S audits become subjective checklists that nobody takes seriously after the first month.

PinPoint turns your 5S criteria into a visual audit you do on your tablet. Walk the floor, score each zone, take a photo of non-conformities. The system tracks scores over time so you can show concrete improvement to management - or to your ISO auditor.

Why now?

Companies preparing for ISO certification or lean maturity assessments need demonstrable, auditable proof that workplace standards are improving. Spreadsheet audits are the first thing that gets questioned.

What is a 5S audit?

A 5S audit scores a work zone on the five steps of the 5S method: sort, set in order, shine, standardise and sustain. Every zone gets a score per step, backed by photos of what is and is not in order. The value lies in the repetition: only over several rounds does improvement become visible.

Frequently asked questions

What do the five S's stand for?

Sort (remove what is not needed), Set in order (a fixed place for everything), Shine (the zone and the machines), Standardise (the same way of working everywhere) and Sustain (keeping it up). The last step is the hardest, and that is exactly where a recurring audit helps.

How do I show improvement at an ISO audit?

Because scores per zone are kept over time, an auditor sees not only the current state but the course. With photos of every non-conformity, that is substantiated evidence instead of a filled-in spreadsheet.

Can I use our own 5S criteria?

Yes. The audit questions are set up on your criteria and your zones. PinPoint imposes no standard list; your existing way of working becomes digital, not replaced.

Not sure if PinPoint fits your process?

We will be honest with you. If PinPoint is not the right fit, we will tell you. No hard sell, no obligations. Just a conversation between people who understand inspections.
