Two more branches of the union will start using Maxweb’s case management software, which is already being used by a total of seven Unison branches

Wirral digital agency Maxweb is to expand its work with one of Britain’s biggest trade unions, Unison.

Two more branches of the union will start using Maxweb’s case management software, which is currently being used by a total of seven Unison branches including Blackpool Health, Central Lancashire Health and Sefton Local Government.

The company’s team, led by directors Mark Ainsworth and Liam Bailey, are looking to introduce the bespoke system as part of a continued nation-wide roll out.

Mr Bailey said: “We initially created this tool with multiple branches in mind however, the interest that we have received has exceeded our expectations in the first year and we are set to implement the system in a further two branches at least before the year is out.

“We anticipate further growth as it is gaining momentum within the trade union sector across the country. Over the last 12 months we have really immersed ourselves into developing this platform, which is continuously evolving.

“We are always looking at additional feature options to include based on ongoing feedback from the branches that use it with the vision to introduce it on a larger scale.

In addition to the case management software, Maxweb has previously worked with Unison branches to develop a communication app that is currently used across seven branches nationally, allowing members to connect and share information, alleviating the need for traditional methods such as newsletters and emails.

Branch Secretary at Unison Blackpool Health, Christopher Tucker, added: “Since myself and my team here at the Blackpool branch have been using Maxweb’s case management software we have noticed a significant improvement in the overall efficiency of how we work.”
