Local authority software trusted by 200+ councils to deliver connected, data-driven services
We provide software for health, local government, and care organisations across the UK.
Derbyshire County Council - Case Study
From brokerage and case management to community care scheduling, early years provision, and youth justice, the council now uses integrated digital systems that eliminate data silos, speed up service delivery, and provide strategic intelligence across all operations. Working across children's services, adult social care, and youth justice, the council operates more efficiently whilst giving residents better choice across the county.
Nottinghamshire County Council - Case Study
Nottinghamshire County Council now coordinates hospital discharges more efficiently, with social workers accessing up-to-date information to support timely transitions from hospital to community-based care.
How Local Authorities Can Unlock Community Wellbeing
Local Authorities sit at the heart of their communities in a way that few other organisations do. They hold statutory duties around housing, adult social care, public health, and debt advice. They know which estates are struggling with fuel poverty, and which families are on the edge. This is not peripheral knowledge. It is precisely the intelligence needed to drive meaningful improvements in population wellbeing.
