Leicester City Council adopts Zylpha to cut costs and protect the environment

The council's legal teams are involved in many court cases, in particular from the Community Services Team with Childcare files. The workload is currently around 150 ongoing cases and bundles and cases can last for several years.

The high financial costs of court bundle production and distribution were consuming an increasing percentage of the Councils budget at a time when all budgets were coming under increasing pressure to cut costs.

The environmental costs of the paper production, printing and physical distribution were completely contrary to the Councils Environment strategy of dramatically reducing their carbon footprint. Leicester City Council is now benefiting from reduced printing costs as well as faster and easier bundle production using Zylpha Court Bundling. The whole process is much less time consuming and costly, while revising a bundle now takes seconds instead of hours. These improvements also work through into a reduced administrative burden and a reduction in storage requirements and costs. With Court Bundles now able to be distributed securely in an electronic format with Zylpha distribution delivery times have been turned from hours to seconds and the cost of distribution of each bundle have fallen from tens of pounds to pennies.

The council’s carbon footprint is reduced as a direct consequence of these solutions, enabling the council to make further progress in achieving its environmental goals.

"Zylpha came up trumps for us with their Bundling and Delivery solutions, as they integrate seamlessly with our case management system. We were up and running in no time at all. The solution does what it claims and does it well, reducing our printing and distribution costs while saving us money."
