Crown secures police force tech deal

TAMWORTH-based Crown Duty Management Systems has expanded its reach within the emergency services sector after being chosen as an integral part of an IT solution which will allow three police organisations to join forces and run their organisations more efficiently.

The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution for Surrey, Sussex and Thames Valley Police will be based on a Microsoft Dynamics platform which will be delivered by KPMG Crimsonwing.

The software solution will be rolled out to more than 18,000 employees – assisting greater collaboration and improved flexibility via mobile working using the cloud.

The solution comprises finance, fleet, procurement, HR, learning and development and payroll.

Crown will be providing the duty management and rostering functionality.

Mike Hawkesford, managing director of Crown: “Through shared services platforms, police forces are better able to work together to achieve greater efficiencies while better serving their communities.”

The contract was awarded following a competitive tender process. Go live is expected to be by the end of 2017.

Crown works with more than 300 major organisations and can count organisations such as Greater Manchester Police, Trailfinders, Nottinghamshire Police, BAE Systems, ITN, Aston Martin, Cheshire Police, Drayton Manor Park, Carillion, and Royal Mail amongst its growing customer base.
