Your Processes Live In Someone's Head. Until They Leave.
Standard operating procedures only work when people follow them - consistently, in the right order, every time. Most businesses write their SOPs in a document that nobody opens. ExpiryEdge turns any process into a structured checklist: sections broken into steps, each step assigned to the right person, every completion timestamped and logged. Nothing is skipped. Nothing relies on memory.
No credit card required · Setup in minutesAny process - onboarding, inspections, month-end, audits - structured as a reusable checklist.
Steps assigned to specific team members with deadlines and completion tracking.
Real-time progress visible to managers - no chasing, no status meetings.
Your compliance hub, at a glance
ExpiryEdge puts every deadline, owner and status on one searchable screen - so your team spends less time chasing and more time renewing.
Manage every deadline from one searchable dashboard - filtered by type, status, and assignee.
What's included
Hierarchical sections and steps
Build your SOP as a structured hierarchy: sections group related steps, and each step has an assignee, a deadline, and a completion checkbox. Complex processes with 50+ steps stay organised and navigable - not a wall of bullet points.
Step-level assignment
Each step is assigned to a specific team member. The IT step goes to IT. The HR step goes to HR. The line manager step goes to the line manager. Nobody completes steps that aren't theirs, and nobody misses steps because they assumed someone else did it.
Real-time progress monitoring
See exactly how far through any checklist run your team is - which steps are complete, which are in progress, which are overdue, and who is responsible for each. No status update meeting required.
Reusable SOP templates
Build your checklist once. Run it as many times as you need. Each run is independent with its own completion record and audit trail. Onboarding, monthly close, safety inspections, client handovers - one template, infinite repeatable runs.
Linked deadline and expiry tracking
Connect your SOPs to ExpiryEdge's deadline tracking. When a licence expiry triggers a renewal process, the SOP checklist starts automatically - reminders sent, steps assigned, progress tracked. The deadline and the process are managed together.
Completion audit trail
Every step completion is timestamped with who completed it and when. Every checklist run has a full history. For regulatory audits, client due diligence, or internal reviews, you show exactly what was done, in what order, and by whom.
How it works
Build your SOP as a structured checklist
Create sections for each phase of the process - pre-work, execution, sign-off. Add steps under each section, assign each step to the right role, and set any time constraints. Save as a reusable template.
Launch a run when the process needs to happen
Trigger a new checklist run manually or automatically when a deadline fires. Assignees are notified via their preferred channel. They see only their steps and tick them off as they are completed.
Monitor progress and close the run
Managers see real-time progress across all active runs. When all steps are complete, the run closes and the audit trail is stored. The next run starts from the same template - clean, consistent, complete.
Who uses this
Operations Manager
Needs every repeatable process to run consistently whether they are in the office or not. Currently relying on experienced staff to train new people verbally - and watching quality drop when those people leave. Wants documented, trackable, repeatable processes.
Compliance or Quality Manager
Needs to demonstrate to auditors and regulators that processes are followed correctly and completely every time - not just when someone remembers to check. Needs a completion record with names, dates, and timestamps.
Franchise or Multi-Location Business Owner
Needs every location to follow the same process for opening, closing, inspections, and customer service. Needs visibility that the process was completed at each site - not just that someone said it was.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of processes can I build as SOP checklists in ExpiryEdge?
Any process your team repeats on a schedule or trigger. Common examples include: employee onboarding and offboarding, monthly health and safety inspection, quarterly supplier review, annual ISO or regulatory audit preparation, client onboarding sequence, equipment maintenance sign-off, shift handover procedure, food safety opening and closing checks, financial month-end close, and new branch or franchise opening. If you do it more than once and it matters that it is done correctly, it belongs in an SOP checklist.
How is this different from a shared checklist in a spreadsheet or Word document?
A spreadsheet checklist has no assignment, no notification, no escalation, and no audit trail. If someone skips a step, nobody knows until something goes wrong. ExpiryEdge assigns each step to a named person, notifies them when their step is due, escalates to a manager if it is overdue, and creates a timestamped record of every completion. It is the difference between a list and a managed process.
Can steps be assigned to different people or departments?
Yes. Each step is assigned independently. Step 1 might go to HR, step 2 to IT, step 3 to the line manager. They each see their own steps and complete them independently. No step requires someone to manually forward a task to the next person.
How does the audit trail work?
Every time a step is marked complete, ExpiryEdge records who completed it, when, and on which device. Every checklist run has a full completion history from start to finish. If a regulator asks whether your food safety opening checks were completed on a specific date, or whether an equipment inspection was signed off by the right person, you can show the record immediately.
Can SOPs be triggered automatically when a deadline fires?
Yes. You can link a checklist template to a tracked deadline. When an expiry reminder fires - for example, a safety certificate approaching its renewal date - ExpiryEdge automatically starts the renewal SOP checklist, assigns the steps, and begins tracking progress. The reminder and the process are managed together without manual intervention.
