Waverley Borough Council shares digital services and using their own talent
Waverley Borough Council is a local government district in Surrey – a rural borough with many older residents and a variation in broadband quality.
To support their inclusivity and choice goals, they wanted to provide several easy options for residents to contact the council. With limited resources and budget constraints, they needed a flexible solution that would allow for further development using existing internal resources – sharing digital services with other councils.
Waverley was initially looking for a new telephony system and CRM. They began using Liberty Converse, our omnichannel contact centre solution, to create a customer service centre, and then deployed Citizen Hub to link their contact centre with the CRM and improve all back-end processes. With the new contact centre, Waverley gained:
“Collaborating and using the AppShare is one of the major positives of Liberty platform and Citizen Hub. All local authorities are feeling the same pain points, providing the same services. We’ve shared some of our work with the Netcall Community – we can all benefit from processes that councils up and down the country are implementing.”

“With budget pressures, we need to take a different view of how we can deliver services in future and low-code is working well for us. The huge potential of Liberty Create is that it offers us a platform that our staff can use to create what they need, now and in the future. We’ve found that the more we map out each customer journey upfront, and give the builders accurate information, the quicker the build progresses.”

In linking their contact centre with a CRM, to improve efficiency and support smoother back end processing, the team expanded to Citizen Hub, Delivering end-to-end digital local government services, residents enjoy more accessibility.
Saving time and money through sharing digital services, already developed by other Citizen Hub council users, the team can supercharge their digital transformation efforts — sharing developments with other councils. Plus, with the skills they learned, the team now hold the power of digital transformation in their own hands. Using low-code and Citizen Hub resources, they continue to develop new services and apps to enhance resident experience.
