What wasn’t working
Courts were running on QuickCourt, a legacy application that had been in use for many years and had become slow, hard to support and impossible to extend. Records were spread across paperwork, and cases, hearings and payments were never tracked in one place. AdComp needed a modern platform without disrupting the courts that relied on the old one.
The solution
Bizmap and AdComp designed SmartCourt as a fully custom application on the Frappe Framework, with no standard ERP modules. It covers charge entry, case and docket management, record classification for traffic, civil, criminal and juvenile matters, hearings, payments and payment plans, cash bonds, a case jacket that shows everything about a defendant in one view, centralised printing and XML state reporting.
Each charge becomes a case and docket with any number of hearings. Payments are recorded in SmartCourt or synchronised from AdComp's web, mobile, IVR, kiosk and POS channels through APIs, with component-wise disbursement tracking. Roles for court managers, clerks and marshals. Built for configurable workflows and approvals later.
- Charge entry and traffic citations
- Case and docket management
- Record classification (traffic, civil, criminal, juvenile)
- Hearing management
- Payments, payment plans and cash bonds
- Case jacket (one view of a defendant)
- Alerts and notifications
- Centralised print documents
- Reporting and XML state compliance
- AdComp's payment channels (web, mobile, IVR, kiosk and POS) stay independent and synchronise with SmartCourt through APIs, so every payment lands against the right case and is reported once.
