FACET is an intranet software system, developed in collaboration with Nottinghamshire Police.

FACET records and tracks details of enquiries and investigations concerning either fraud or asset recovery, made to the FACET department. Statements, inventory, exhibits, evidence, documents, records of witnesses and a narrative are logically presented and linked together.

In addition, a tasking facility allows users to be assigned tasks with a priority level. Users are informed of overdue tasks as soon as they log-in.

Some of the benefits that FACET provides include:

• A central filing system for any documents, images and files associated with an enquiry.

• The generation of management information reports.

• Relevant options menus ensure the appropriate details are available, wherever an officer is in the system.

• A narrative provides an overview of the enquiry for quick reference, saving valuable time.

• MG forms can automatically be generated if the case is going to court.

• Performance of OCR on bank statements enables information to be transferred directly to excel, saving time.

• An audit trail tracks all activity in the system.

• The ability to mail merging documents from templates, quickly imports information.

• A comprehensive search facility includes the ability to filter by relevant criteria and conduct free-text searching in scanned and imported documents.
