EAN: Nadcap’s Digital Hub for Accreditation
- Aug 20, 2025
In the early days of Nadcap®, the path to accreditation looked very different. Scheduling an audit meant phone calls, mailed paperwork, and manual tracking. Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) were typed, printed, and passed between stakeholders. Certificates were physically mailed, and supply chain visibility depended on filing cabinets and in-person meetings.
Today, thanks to the EAN platform (formerly known as eAuditNet), those manual processes are a way of the past. EAN is PRI’s secure, web-based system that supports every phase of the Nadcap accreditation process, serving as the central hub for digitization, efficiency, and innovation in the aviation, defense, and space (ADS) supply chain.
