Case Study: Renfrewshire Council achieves faster planning and building approvals with Objective Trapeze

Renfrewshire Council eliminates a 3-week backlog with Objective Corporation

Renfrewshire Council, a UK local government authority, faced significant backlogs and inefficiencies in its planning and building control processes. The manual tasks of comparing amended plans and stamping numerous application documents were time-consuming and prone to error. To address this challenge, the council worked with vendor Objective Corporation and implemented its purpose-built solution, Objective Trapeze.

The solution from Objective Corporation automated key manual processes. Objective Trapeze's comparison tools allowed officers to instantly identify all changes between plan versions, while its batch stamping facility automated the stamping of drawings. This technology delivered substantial results, eliminating a three-week application backlog and reducing the time to stamp large sets of plans from up to three days to just six and a half minutes, which saved an estimated 25-30 days of office time per year.
