Case Study: Stevenage Borough Council achieves digital cemetery management and mapping efficiency with PlotBox

Stevenage Borough Council frees up inventory and replaces 3 spreadsheets with PlotBox

Stevenage Borough Council, a local authority in the UK, was using a collection of disparate systems including Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and Access databases to manage its two cemeteries. This inefficient setup lacked integration, automated functions, digital maps, and a reliable audit trail, posing significant operational risks. The council sought a modern, cloud-based cemetery management solution from PlotBox to future-proof its operations and increase efficiency.

PlotBox implemented its cloud-based cemetery management system, which included digital mapping and memorial management tools. The solution streamlined Stevenage's processes by automating tasks, providing a complete audit trail, and integrating all data. The high-resolution digital maps allowed the team to accurately identify available inventory, freeing up previously overlooked plots. The system also enabled efficient memorial safety checks and provided the confidence that records were secure and accessible.
