Property and Evidence Management Software

Property, evidence and asset tracking software can improve the efficiency and accuracy of any evidence room by eliminating paper processes and saving evidence custodians countless hours. 

Zuercher  Suite offers a comprehensive solution that can manage the property and evidence needs of any agency, regardless of size.  The Property and Evidence module can be purchased as a stand-alone solution or as part of a complete Zuercher Records installation.  It offers many robust features and is highly configurable.  It can also be available as a multi-jurisdictional environment if multiple agencies are sharing the same property and evidence room.

Track all evidence types in one centralized system including audio files with tagging at key locations, digital photos, electronic documents, physical evidence, and scanned documents.

Reduce evidence mishandling.  With a log that records every movement of evidence, a clear chain of custody is established.  Entries cannot be edited or tampered with.

Improve asset security.  Fine-grained permissions allow agencies to limit access of evidence files to specific users and evidence custodians.

Locate evidence faster.  Unique item numbers and location descriptions allow for quick identification and retrieval.  Integrated barcode technology also allows for quick printing and scanning of barcodes to label and identify items as well as locations, bins, lockers, vaults, or cages where evidence or property is stored.

Prevent backlog.  Configurable workflow settings allow agencies to maintain current procedures, while increasing efficiency and accuracy.

Maintain accurate disposition records.  Whether items have been returned or destroyed, their disposition is logged in the system and can be used for sorting or reporting purposes.

Reminders help property and evidence custodians stay on top of evidence placed in temporary storage and evidence that has been checked out by agency employees or third party entities.  The chain of custody log feature ensures evidence can stand up in court.

Capture electronic signatures when transferring or releasing items with the integrated signature pad solution.

Perform regular audits and log comments to minimize evidence loss with just a few clicks.

Case files contain links to all related evidence files, eliminating the need for an interface for case origination.

Custom reports are easily created using the report generator.  Reports can be automated with recurring settings then emailed or uploaded to a file share.
