IDOX Uniform Integration

Working with planning authorities, regulatory teams, environmental services, and digital transformation programmes, 6B delivers full-lifecycle integration for IDOX Uniform and its associated modules. Our integrations connect Uniform to GIS systems, portals, payments, document management, CRM platforms, corporate finance systems, and national registers.

As councils modernise their planning and regulatory technology estates, Uniform often remains at the core of case management and statutory workflows. 6B enables authorities to enhance Uniform’s value through secure, robust, future-ready integrations that reflect real operational needs and governance requirements.

Understanding IDOX Uniform Integration

IDOX Uniform is one of the most widely used local authority platforms for planning, building control, environmental health, trading standards, licensing, land charges, and related services. It supports complex workflows, statutory processes, inspections, and case recording across multiple regulatory domains.

However, Uniform does not operate in isolation. Effective planning and regulatory services rely on data from GIS platforms, payments systems, corporate finance, document management repositories, CRM solutions, public portals, and third-party datasets such as addresses, constraints, and national registers.

Without integration, officers face fragmented information, duplicated data entry, manual updates, and delays that affect decision-making, enforcement, public transparency, and the consistency of statutory data.

6B helps councils design and deliver secure, compliant, and maintainable integrations between Uniform and wider systems in the planning and regulatory ecosystem, supporting more efficient processes and improved citizen experiences.

Our IDOX Uniform Integration Process

We begin by conducting a structured discovery phase, engaging planning teams, environmental health officers, building control teams, licensing teams, IT stakeholders, and data specialists. We review current Uniform modules, existing integrations, data flows, manual workarounds, GIS dependencies, and operational pain points.

Our architects design an integration approach suited to your vendor landscape, infrastructure, and strategic objectives. Depending on your requirements, this may involve API-led integration, secure file exchange, event-driven updates, scheduled data synchronisation, or an integration hub to standardise patterns across services. We ensure alignment with Uniform’s data structures, operational workflows, and local authority governance requirements.

During delivery, our engineers implement connectors, transformation pipelines, and supporting services. We ensure accurate mapping to Uniform structures for planning applications, inspections, enforcement, licensing records, land charges, environmental health cases, and related datasets. Automated testing and monitoring is built in to validate data quality, reliability, and performance.

We perform end-to-end testing across real-world scenarios such as application submission, validation, mapping updates, enforcement workflows, licensing renewals, and portal interactions. After go-live, we provide full handover, documentation, and optional ongoing support through our managed service capability.

Benefits of IDOX Uniform Integration

Integration reduces administrative burden by automating data flows between Uniform and key systems such as GIS, portals, finance, and document management, freeing officers to focus on casework and inspections rather than manual updates.

Joined-up information improves accuracy, reduces duplication, and enables better decision-making in planning, enforcement, environmental health, and licensing workflows. It also supports consistent public communication and transparency.

For councils, integrated Uniform environments strengthen performance reporting, statutory compliance, and audit readiness. Data becomes more reliable, easier to maintain, and more valuable for strategic planning and service improvement.

For residents and applicants, integrated systems enable smoother journeys, clearer updates, faster processing times, and more accurate public information.
