1. Cutting administration

Customer success
paperless automated solution that
would reduce the admin burden on the
team.”
“We also needed a solution that would
provide managers with the tools and
information to effectively manage their
teams including things like absence
reports, holiday requests, training date
renewals and return to work follow-ups.”
Benefits
The biggest benefit with the new
solution is time saving. Staff at Camps
Solicitors can now provide accurate and
important reports in a matter of minutes
rather than hours. And they now have a
better managed process with an audit
trail for holidays and absence. The time
saved allows them to concentrate on
the more strategic functions of their job.
The future
The next challenge for Camps Solicitors
is managing Auto-enrolment. With their
staging date in January 2014, Camps
Solicitors are already speaking to
pension advisors and to Sage HR &
Payroll about how the SnowdropKCS
solution will help with the administration
of the process. Jo Quigley explains: “I’m
confident that auto-enrolment shouldn’t
cause us any issues because of the
support we’ve received from Sage and
couldn’t ask for any more.”
With growing numbers of employees,
Camps Solicitors may also look at
adding Learning and Development to
their solution in a years’ time, to help
them track and manage staff training.
That will follow on from a successful
Auto-enrolment staging in January 2014
and build on their experience of using
the Sage solution.
With their business rapidly growing,
Camps Solicitors needed an HR and
payroll solution that would help reduce
the time spent on administrative tasks,
while still ensuring managers had the
information they need to manage their
staff. Thanks to SnowdropKCS HR and
payroll from Sage they’ve cut their
admin time and can now focus on the
bigger picture.
Client profile
With over 30 years’ experience in the
legal industry, Camps Solicitors
operates across the UK and specialises
in managing personal injury claims. The
company employees just under 300
staff including solicitors, secretaries,
support staff and call centre staff. They
cover a number of different areas of law
including, road traffic accidents,
professional negligence, clinical
negligence and lead the UK’s largest
mass litigation case. Having grown
rapidly over the last few years, Camps
Solicitors needed a software solution
that could support their business now
and in the future.
Challenge and solution
A growing team meant more HR
information to be stored. Camps
Solicitors realised that the old system of
spreadsheets wasn’t efficient and
looked for a more sustainable and
automated solution. The relatively small
HR team also needed software that
would enable them to reduce the cost
and errors they encountered when
outsourcing their payroll and bring it
back in house.

Solicitors explains: “As a small HR team
with a growing workforce we needed a
