Flexibility and rapid implementation key to Manchester City Council’s covid safe back to work strategy – Zipporah provides both

Manchester City Council is a longstanding client of Zipporah having used the Registrars system for many years. So, it was to Zipporah they turned when they needed an online room booking system to underpin their new post covid staff working model – allowing staff to start the safe return to the office. Speed of implementation was key as hundreds of rooms needed to be made available within a month and a flexible system was needed to accommodate future changes as new hybrid working practices develop.

Managing Director Emma Powell said, “We are proud that our long-standing clients still look to Zipporah as the right organisation to deliver the best, most flexible solution and deliver it rapidly and to a high standard. As with all implementations absorbing the thoughts of the Manchester City Council team has meant that we have adopted further functionality to the system which will allow for even greater configuration to all our clients.”

Zipporah’s approach of working closely with the council and fully understanding their current and future business needs together with the flexibility of the Zipporah system and its configurability to meet their specific requirements impressed the council. Zipporah worked with them exploring multiple different booking process options to ensure the best fit that would deliver on their vision and so the contract was secured.

The system was completed on time and is now fully operational in the council and they are now preparing to extend the resources in the system further as they develop their new hybrid working strategies.

Emma continues... “With the changing landscape we find ourselves in the flexibility to change your needs without needing technical skills has become ever more important and its this flexibility that really sets us apart from all our competitors.”
