    The improvements in the system year on year has been excellent. We are very happy with the system we have at present. If we have problems the service we receive when we phone has always been of an excellent standard and all problems have been addressed.
    Scott O'Donnell
    City of Edinburgh
    We have used LACHS for a number of years to record, co-ordinate and analyse our insurance claims data and consider it to be a fantastic system. We have recently branched out and now subscribe to the First Notification of Loss form (FNOL), which means members of the public can record their highway claims directly onto the system. Since the introduction of the FNOL process, we have seen a significant reduction in processing time for claims which has been a real benefit to both the team and the organisation.

    The customer service provided by LACHS is excellent, the team are always quick to respond to any queries and provide speedy solutions where possible.
    Emily Wilkins
    Head of Insurance
    Devon County Council
    We've been a client probably between 12 and 15 years and the one thing that I found with the team is they want to listen to what the clients want. And actually for a provider to listen to what we want and then adapt the offering, I think is a big tick in the box.
    Martyn Love
    Head of Risk & Strategic Projects
    National Friendly
    JCAD CORE has allowed us to provide timely, informed risk management intelligence and reporting, tailored for different audiences across the organisation. The flexibility of the product has been crucial in enabling us to adapt to our evolving needs. 
    Peter Stanley
    Strategic Risk Adviser
    Hertfordshire County Council
    I can’t imagine doing without JCAD CORE 5 – it brings so many efficiencies and opportunities. 
    Cliff Pringle
    Risk Manager
    Home Group
    LACHS has been a game-changer for my team and me. It ensures the claims data we record is accurate and allows us to run reports across different areas of the business with ease. Monitoring outstanding workloads is much simpler, and when it comes to managing our insurance renewals, providing the necessary data is far more streamlined. Since we replaced multiple spreadsheets with LACHS, we've gone from having the worst data in our group of companies to the best. The software has completely transformed how we manage our data and has led to a significantly improved claims provision. 
    Sam Reid
    Insurance Claims Manager
    Northumbrian Water
    We’ve been using LACHS for approximately 10 months, and it has already made a significant difference in how we manage claims. The system allows us to centralise all claims data, which helps our small team stay on top of workloads and ensures that we have quick, easy access to information. The ability to track claims efficiently and collaborate seamlessly across the team has boosted our overall productivity. 
    Lindsay Mountain
    Group Insurance & Claims Analyst
    AB Ports
    JCAD LACHS is a very user-friendly system and versatile in that we can customise it to fit our business. The support team are excellent, and any issues are resolved within hours, not days! JCAD always provide excellent service and have that personal touch.
    Sue Ruddock
    Legal & Insurance Manager
    Transport for Wales
    I think a risk management review from JCAD is worth its weight in gold because of the practical implementation that can come out of that review.
    Malcolm Davies
    Head of Anti Fraud, Risk and Insurance
    Croydon Council
    A2Dominion first implemented the LACHS claims management system in 2013. Via an API link, we have now integrated Power BI to allow the development of custom reports that are tailored to different parts of the organisation within the group. Power BI allows operational claims data to be further interrogated, offering greater complexity & sophistication.
