Sandwell's Bereavement Services is seeking a cloud-based, specialised solution that not only allows

the Council to meet its statutory duties, but which also enables operational efficiencies, leaner

processes, and improved communication.

The service requires a holistic view of operations, covering not just burials, cremations, but also a

single source of information relating to memorial sales, work orders, and safety inspections. The

ability to have a single view of bookings across all facilities is a must.

Delivery: West Midlands
Extensions: Option to extend for 12 months
