Case Study: Lee Cooper Independent Funeral Directors achieves accurate deceased body tracking with Dakota Integrated Solutions

Lee Cooper Independent Funeral Directors Identification and tracking system for deceased bodies

Lee Cooper Independent Funeral Directors, an independent funeral director based in Leicestershire, needed a failsafe system to ensure the accurate and sensitive identification and tracking of deceased bodies within their premises. The challenge was to eliminate the risk of misidentification, a potentially traumatic and costly error, and to demonstrate this secure process to external clients like NHS hospitals. They engaged vendor Dakota Integrated Solutions to source a data capture and software integration solution.

Dakota Integrated Solutions developed and deployed a custom .NET application that integrated with the customer's MS Access database. The solution utilized barcode scanning hardware, including a Zebra wristband printer and scanner, to track each body with a unique ID. This system provided a complete, auditable record of all movements, confirmed by electronic signatures, and allowed for the tracking of personal effects. The implementation provided Lee Cooper with accurate reporting capabilities for their clients and completely eliminated the risk of mistaken identification.
