Saudi ministry system handles 800k requests electronically
Saudi Arabia:
In 2021, the Saudi judiciary launched the
electronic “Tanfeeth” smart electronic system in all the execution courts in the
Kingdom.
It aims to improve the quality of work whilst
reducing time and and effort expended in the judicial system.
The system shortens 70 procedures into five, and
reduces five operating systems into one, characterized by interactive tools such
as the smart alert feature, which speeds up the decision-making process for
requests, and the processing of requirements for procedures automatically
without the need for human intervention.
Since its launch, Saudi courts received more than
800,000 requests that were handled 100 percent electronically.
Meanwhile the “Shaml” initiative, launched by the
Justice Ministry, won the National Dialogue Award, which is concerned with
implementing the provisions of custody, vision and visitation, in the Excellence
in Dialogue for Government Institutions branch, which witnessed the
participation of 57 entities.
There are 55 “Shaml” centers distributed across
the Kingdom, which provided more than 236,000 services to around 40,000
beneficiaries.
