Portfolio >> Case Vetting System - 2

Web enabled call centre

Circumstances
The System was developed for a big private English firm of attorneys. The company provides legal services and has thousands of active clients. Claim suppliers collect the claims from people seeking legal advice and forward them to the company.

Every case coming to the company needs a decision as to whether it will be accepted or rejected. In some cases the decision cannot be made immediately and may require additional information from the claimant. The company considers the cases, employing external expert opinion, if necessary.

Case Vetting System - General features
The developed Case Vetting System keeps track of all the calls, cases, clients and solicitors.

Each case can be either entered to the System manually or imported from the external global standradised ULR-system. While being considered by the System, the cases pass through several major process stages (vetting, allocation, distribution), turning from one case state to another.

Major stages of the process
During the Vetting process the case input data are considered for adequacy.
Later, during the Allocation process, the cases are being assigned to the solicitors (both internal staff or external solicitor companies). The solicitor lists are editable.
At the Distribution stage, all the case materials are distributed among the solicitors determined at the Allocation stage.
Finally, the Tracking stage allows checking the case further conductance by the solicitor (or the external company).

Manual and automated processing
Case processing within the System can be made either manually or automatically, basing on the set of certain formalized rules (called V.A.D. rules - i.e, vetting rules, allocation rules and distribution rules). Automation can be switched on or off at any of these three major process stages. Amount of cases at each stage is displayed. The System chooses the cases, which can be processed automatically, and leaves others for manual processing (e.g. lethal cases, can never be processed automatically).

Users that have administrative rights can even influence to some extend the automated case processing. For example, they can determine certain specialisation for solicitors, their capacity (total amount of cases possibly processed by the solicitor), or set the percentage of similar cases distributed among several solicitors with similar specialisation.

Case Review and Management
At any time the case summary can be found and checked (its state, references, dates, etc). Case List can be generated, including full details of the case, with optional filtering by case states (such as vetting pending, waiting for allocation, tracking, close rejected etc).

Case reports of various types can be generated (e.g, all cases, accepted cases, rejected cases, with solicitor name filtering possibility).

Document Templates
This important part of the System allows automated generation of various documents (for example, initial letters, allocation letters, internal documents, rejection documents etc). The templates for these documents are editable, and new templates can be added in MS Word format.

The generated documents can be put to the print queue, and further checked if necessary.

Administration
Administrative interface provides wide and flexible control over all the System processes and capabilities.

User management allows adding and editing the user names, logins, and allocating users to groups (inputter, handler, manager, supervisor, administrator etc), with corresponding level of access, case editing and other rights within the System.

Administration section allows editing the solicitor, accident management companies, case sources and other lists.

It also allows defining the sets of contact methods (e.g, letter in, phone out), case outcomes (request for more info, call back at 4pm), as well as standard reasons and their detailed descriptions (pending reasons, rejected reasons, etc).

The Solicitors Module allows access to the limited capabilities of the Central System. It can be used by the solicitors working with specific cases, which were allocated and distributed to them.

Operating platforms and requirements
Central System requires OS Windows, and MS SQL server 2000 for database management. Solicitors Module can be run under Windows or Linux and MySQL.

User computers require only the Internet browser to access the System.
