Public Sector
Our TranSearch® solutions have been successfully used for file and records management by customers across central and local Government, the NHS, Regulators and Police Forces.
With our highly configurable Hybrid Records Management solutions, You can consolidate your physical and electronic items into a single, intuitive system. An electronic workspace is associated with a physical asset, be it a client, case, project or a single file; this area is used to store electronic records relating to the item.
We therefore have public sector clients using the solution to both manage day-to-day case work and record, track and trace files and other physical items held in archive storage.
Our solutions can be also be used to manage your inhouse records store or for order management purposes can integrate with the archive management systems of third-party storage vendors.
The solution also enables you to implement your information management governance, including the application of security, review and retention policies, helping ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory compliance obligations, including Data Protection legislation and MoPI within the Police sector.
"Transearch has helped us immensely with location management of medical records. In a service that is ever growing, it has allowed us to move away from a rigid and restrictive filing methodology to one that is far more flexible and meets the needs of the service and the accommodation space we operate out of."

Specific Functionality for the Police
TranSearch® allows you to easily record and track Crime files/Non Crime Files/Boxes/Exhibits etc within the Force. It is the essential tool to help your Information Management and assist with MoPI compliance.
The system allows you to record relevant people against files such as offender, victim etc. It also allows you to record relevant reference numbers from other systems such as Holmes.
Automatic generation of MoPI review group based on simple to use pop up lists enable the system to correctly generate review and destruction dates.
Access to records are driven by use of GSCP (Government Security Classifications Policy). There is also the ability to add a ‘Secondary Marking’ to again limit the number of users with access to specific records.
Email notifications of files due for review and on-line electronic completion of a National Retention Assessment Criteria (NRAC) forms speed up a file review process.
Destruction Authorisation Emails enable the information owner to allow/decline the destruction of the file based upon the outcome of the NRAC.
Completed NRAC forms are held as electronic images in the TranSearch Associated Document Archive (ADA) and are available for viewing at any time. ADA has the ability to store multiple NRAC forms against a file until such time as the file’s destruction is authorised.
With Police Forces increasing their use of external storage providers, they need to be able to manage and track files effectively. The Solution allows users to utilise multiple storage providers including their own storage provision if required. The system can also record multiple seal numbers against a box and show when seals were replaced as part of the audit log.
