Staying compliant with compulsory regulation is a necessary part ofrunning a business. Non-compliance can be punished with severe finesand penalties, so it is essential to keep up-to-date and understand whatis expected and the most efficient way of achieving that.
There are a number of reasons businesses might be regulated, includingmeasures introduced to reduce or eliminate the following:
- Environmental damage
- Risk of illness or danger to staff, customers,and the general public
- Poor auditing and accounting standards, incomplete company records
- Corruption or bribery in business dealings
- Poor quality goods or services that do not meet the standard expected

Examples of SwiftCase assisting compliance management:
Medical rehabilitation
Managers can use SwiftCase to set reminders to collect patient consent. Legally, they need to renew this permission within a given timeframe. So, if it has not been renewed within that limit, the case can no longer proceed until it is given and recorded. Our healthcare solutions include built-in compliance workflows, and you can see how a trauma patient support organisation uses SwiftCase for patient case management.
Construction/maintenance
Businesses in this sector need to carry out health and safety checks, such as those involved with working at height. Documentation can be completed by employees out on the job using our case management tools, and instantly reviewed by management at head office. If satisfied, then work can proceed. This saves the time and effort involved in having the managers travel out to the site itself. See how a commercial roofing company manages site compliance with SwiftCase, or explore our property solutions.
Financial
Workers in the financial industry can ensure they have collected all of the necessary legally-required information on documents, for example, Letters of Authority. Automatic emails can be generated, listing any missing information, and sent back to the staff member responsible, which must be included before the case can proceed. Our insurance solutions include FCA-compliant workflow automation, and a leading UK insurance broker processes over 11 million cases through SwiftCase with full audit trails.
