About us
- QuickCase's story began in late 2016 when a multi-tenant legal case management solution was commissioned by HMCTS to support the needs of its then burgeoning Reform Programme.
- QuickCase founders led the design, implementation and delivery from the inception of the project all the way to the first national rollouts, managing cases for services on GOV.UK, such as Probate, Divorce, Civil Money Claims and Social Security & Child Support initially.
- In September 2018, QuickCase was created as a fork of HMCTS's open source case management and established as a private limited company. We improved and genericised the solution so that it could be used outside of HMCTS while retaining all the qualities that made it a success.
- QuickCase was immediately adopted by clients, subsequently delivering projects with high-profile national rollouts.
- Since then, QuickCase has continued to evolve, furthering key areas such as ease of deployment, user experience and accessibility.
Our culture
Above & beyond
Your success is our primary target. Through the numerous projects we have contributed to, our commitment to getting the job done has always been a differentiating factor.
While delivering for today's needs our team will also ensure future business goals are taken into account ensuring QuickCase becomes a key new asset in your digital estate.
Lean
We believe in the power of iterative delivery without artifice: focus on what matters most and release early to encourage feedback. This philosophy is found both in the way we work internally and in the way our solution works, enabling fast-paced changes via QuickCase's powerful configuration engine.
We prefer running short Discovery phases before Implementation. We like to fully understand the problem space before writing code. We provide technical designs you can understand and plans we can all deliver against.
Experienced
Our teams are composed of individuals with a variety of backgrounds, having accumulated a wide breadth of experience working across many industries, from start-ups to global consultancies, and from retail to financial institutions and Government bodies. Like our case management solution, this gives our teams the flexibility to quickly adapt to any business domain to offer you the support you deserve.
Considering Government only, our collaborators have worked across the Home Office, Cabinet Office, Ministry of Justice, HMRC, Department for Work and Pensions and Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.
Team players
We know that often case management is only one part of the picture and many projects have requirements which go beyond it. Acknowledging that, we work with clients in a genuinely collaborative way, with your team and existing suppliers in order to deliver the solution that best fits your needs.
To that end, we also have established partnerships with leading IT service providers in the UK, ready to help you achieve the most ambitious projects.
