Case Study: National Defence

How UK Software and Leidos deployed TranSearch to modernise secure asset and records management within a UK national defence environment.

A practical overview of how TranSearch replaced a legacy registry platform with a secure, auditable and scalable operational solution.

Dashboard preview

Summary

A UK national defence unit operating within a highly secure environment required a modern replacement for its legacy registry management system. The existing platform was built on obsolete hardware and software with no viable upgrade path, creating increasing operational risks and inefficiencies.

Working alongside Leidos, UK Software deployed TranSearch to provide secure tracking and lifecycle management of classified records and assets across a large-scale operational environment.

The new solution was designed to operate within a closed, non-internet-connected infrastructure while supporting strict governance, auditability and role-based security controls.

TranSearch now provides full visibility of assets and records from creation through to destruction, improving operational efficiency, reporting capability and long-term scalability while reducing reliance on manual processes.

The Challenge

A national defence unit required a modern replacement for an outdated registry management system that was no longer aligned with operational demands.

The existing system relied on obsolete software and hardware with no viable upgrade path, creating increasing risks and inefficiencies in the management of classified records and operational assets.

A replacement solution was required to operate within a secure, closed infrastructure while supporting evolving workflows, strict role-based permissions and high levels of auditability.

The organisation also required improved visibility, reporting and accountability across a complex operational environment while reducing dependence on manual processes.

“
TranSearch has given us a secure and dependable platform for managing our records and assets, replacing a legacy system that was no longer fit for purpose.
The ability to accurately track items and maintain a full audit trail has made a real difference to how much confidence we have in our data and day-to-day operations.

The Solution

TranSearch was configured to provide secure, auditable management of classified records and assets while remaining flexible enough to align with highly specific operational requirements.

Using barcode technology, TranSearch enables every physical record and asset to be tracked from creation through to destruction, ensuring full lifecycle visibility and accountability.

Every movement and access event is logged to provide a complete audit trail supporting governance, compliance and operational control.

The system was configured to reflect existing workflows while remaining adaptable to evolving operational needs, helping ensure long-term scalability and efficiency.

Role-based permissions ensure users only access the information necessary for their role, supporting strict security and clearance requirements across the environment.

TranSearch also supports linked records and associated digital documentation, allowing physical and electronic information to remain connected and traceable throughout operational processes.

Comprehensive audit logs and reporting tools provide greater visibility into asset activity, operational performance and governance compliance.

Built-in and custom reporting functionality provides clear operational insight and supports informed decision-making across the organisation.

TranSearch also delivers automated notifications, advanced search capability and configurable governance controls to help ensure processes remain compliant, structured and efficient over time.

UK Software additionally provided ongoing customer support and technical expertise to help align the deployment with enhanced security requirements throughout implementation.
