A digital team, formed of citizen developers and traditional IT staff, are providing low-code enabled Innovation-as-a-Service for the council’s evolving requirements
Deep funding cuts have forced local government to find efficiency savings to maintain service delivery. Every local government council is facing changing lifestyles, an ageing population and operating under a widening funding gap.
Delivering services in a new way can provide the answer. It also brings a new set of challenges. It’s the route that Adur & Worthing Councils decided on.
“Our mission is to make digital change really people-centred, so the services we implement are great user experiences.”

Using the Liberty Create platform, Adur & Worthing built a social housing repairs service which includes self serve appointment booking, operative scheduling and field work.
The next major project the team tackled was team designing an end-to-end waste management digital service. It is comprised of four self service applications, which were built in 12 weeks.
Using the Liberty Create platform, Adur & Worthing built an asset management digital service enabling digital stock condition surveying, compliance monitoring and commercial estate management.
Adur & Worthing wanted to harness the talent they had within the organisation to build a digital team that was able to understand and tackle the systems the council needed.
Meet James Bovington, who moved to the Digital Team having previously worked as a Coastal Surveyor for the council.
“Netcall is far from a faceless tech company – we’ve met many of the team in person. Knowing the people behind the product makes our ongoing communication fast and constructive, so the support is as efficient as low-code itself.”

“I’ve found the best things about Netcall’s low-code are how fast it is to build and that even ambitious end-to-end projects are possible. It’s intuitive and open, we can easily access data and connect to other systems. The forum on the Community is also fantastic – the Netcall team respond and contribute regularly.”

You can revolutionise your council’s capacity to design, deploy and adapt enterprise-grade tools and integrated operations
St Helens see the value of utilising technology to ease the workload, increase the speed of delivery for citizens, enthuse and retain their staff and also safeguard their services.
Scottish Forestry needed to move fast, making decisions to fulfil business needs and be fully operational. They trained some of their team on Liberty Create, our low-code platform, as the speed of developing would enable them to get systems configured quickly
Wandsworth was using an earlier version of Liberty Converse, our omnichannel contact centre solution, and were keen to access the latest digital communication functionality that Converse now offers.
