Generate letters, reports, schedules, and forms automatically from your case data. Template-based document creation with merge fields, conditional content blocks, and built-in approval routing.
Most organisations generate the same types of documents repeatedly — letters, reports, schedules, invoices, compliance notices. Document automation eliminates the manual effort of populating templates, reduces errors from copy-paste workflows, and ensures consistent output across your team. The right platform integrates document generation directly into your operational workflows rather than treating it as a separate step.
You need a template library that non-technical users can maintain. Look for a visual template editor that supports your branding — headers, footers, logos, and styling — without requiring developer involvement for routine updates. Version control is essential so you can track changes and roll back if needed.
Templates should pull data directly from your case records, contact databases, and workflow fields. Merge fields need to support nested data (e.g. multiple parties on a claim), date formatting, currency formatting, and fallback values for missing data. The fewer manual inputs required per document, the better.
Documents rarely have identical content for every scenario. Your platform should support conditional sections that appear or hide based on data values — different clauses for different policy types, jurisdiction-specific paragraphs, or optional sections based on case status. This eliminates the need for dozens of near-identical templates.
Sensitive documents — settlement offers, compliance notices, contracts — need review before dispatch. Look for built-in approval routing that sends generated documents to designated reviewers, tracks approval status, and prevents dispatch until sign-off is complete.
Different recipients need different formats. Your system should generate PDF for final documents, Word for editable drafts, and ideally support email body generation for correspondence. Batch generation is important if you regularly produce documents for multiple cases simultaneously.
Regulated industries need to demonstrate what was sent, when, and by whom. Every generated document should be logged with a timestamp, the user who triggered it, the template version used, and the data values at the time of generation. This audit trail is critical for FCA compliance, GDPR subject access requests, and legal proceedings.
Purpose-built capabilities for document automation operations — not generic templates you have to work around.
Design document templates with headers, footers, branding, and merge fields using a visual editor. Non-technical users can create and update templates without developer support. Templates support both PDF and Word output from a single design.
Pull data directly from case records, contact fields, linked entities, and workflow variables into your templates. Support for repeating sections (e.g. line items, multiple parties), date and currency formatting, and conditional content blocks that adapt based on data values.
Documents can be generated automatically when a case reaches a specific status, a deadline is approaching, or a workflow step completes. Eliminate manual triggers entirely — the system generates and attaches documents to the case record as part of the process flow.
Route generated documents to designated reviewers before dispatch. Configurable approval chains support single-approver and multi-approver workflows with escalation rules for overdue reviews. Approved documents are logged with full audit trail.
Create document templates using the visual editor with your branding, standard text, and merge field placeholders. Add conditional content blocks for sections that vary by case type. Templates are versioned so changes are tracked.
Connect merge fields to your case data model — client details, case values, dates, addresses, and any custom fields. Configure formatting rules for dates, currencies, and repeating sections like line items or party lists.
Generate documents manually from a case record, or configure workflow triggers to produce them automatically at specific stages. The system populates all merge fields, evaluates conditional blocks, and produces the final document in your chosen format.
Generated documents are attached to the case record and routed for approval if required. Once approved, documents can be emailed directly to recipients, downloaded, or stored against the case for audit purposes.

Generate policy schedule documents populated with coverage details, endorsements, excess levels, and named drivers from the policy record. Conditional sections adapt content for different product types — motor, property, commercial — without separate templates for each.
Policy bound → Template selected by product type → Merge fields populated from policy record → Conditional sections evaluated → Schedule generated as PDF → Emailed to policyholder and filed against policy
Produce acknowledgement letters, reserve notifications, settlement offers, and closure letters automatically as claims progress through handling stages. Each letter pulls current claim data and adjusts content based on claim status and peril type.
Claim reaches status trigger → Appropriate letter template selected → Data merged from claim record → Document routed to handler for review → Approved letter dispatched to claimant via email or post
Generate court-ready reports, expert witness statements, compliance notices, and regulatory submissions with consistent formatting and complete data. Audit trails track every version for disclosure and subject access requests.
Document request received → Template populated with case data and expert findings → Document reviewed and approved → Final version locked with audit trail → Filed against case record with timestamp
Create invoices, fee notes, and financial summaries from case data with automatic line-item calculation, VAT handling, and payment terms. Batch generation supports monthly billing runs across multiple clients or cases.
Billing trigger reached → Invoice template populated with services, rates, and case reference → Line items and totals calculated → Invoice generated as PDF → Sent to client and logged against financial record
Yes. The template builder uses a visual editor where users can add text, merge fields, images, and conditional blocks without writing code. Most clients manage their own templates after initial setup, only involving SwiftCase for complex template logic or structural changes.
SwiftCase generates documents as PDF or Microsoft Word files. PDF is typically used for final documents sent to recipients, while Word output is useful for documents that need further editing before dispatch. Both formats are generated from the same template design.
Yes. Document generation can be triggered automatically by workflow events — when a case reaches a specific status, a deadline arrives, or a condition is met. For example, an acknowledgement letter can be generated and emailed automatically when a new claim is registered, with no manual intervention required.
Conditional content blocks show or hide sections of a document based on data values in the case record. For example, a policy schedule can include motor-specific clauses only when the product type is motor, or a claims letter can adjust its wording based on whether liability has been admitted. This reduces the number of templates you need to maintain.
Every document generated by the platform is logged with the user who triggered it, the timestamp, the template version used, and the data values at the time of generation. Generated documents are stored against the case record and cannot be modified after creation, ensuring a complete audit trail for compliance and regulatory purposes.
