Camden Council gains richer insights into customer needs for a great customer experience.
London Borough of Camden Council serves over 210,000 people across almost 22 square kilometres in the heart of London.
Making a real difference across their community, Camden Council has a vision of giving its citizens a great customer experience, with more choice. To build a holistic, connected view of their citizens, they needed a new CRM system to gain insights into the needs of citizens. At the same time, more self-service options would help empower service teams in achieving their vision of a true omnichannel contact centre.
Quality of data in the legacy CRM system was poor, with manual input of forms leading to errors and delays in processing citizen data.
Moving away from standalone systems would ensure a complete view of citizen interactions and records for a better user experience.
“What we have been able to do with Netcall, which we’ve never been able to achieve with any of our other products is the ability to go from an idea to the build and test environment and then to have it live within another week.”

“There’s a big buzz around the platform seeing that potential of connecting what are normally quite disparate parts of the organisation. Information is currency – and the rest of the organisation is thinking how they can get the most from this information.”

Drive transformation with intelligent automation that results in outstanding citizen experiences.
With all the privacy controls already in place to ensure adherence to the regulations, but with very manual processes – managed across emails, forms and excel spreadsheets and other disparate systems, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) wanted to reduce complexity, enforce a consistent process and reduce the compliance impact on workloads across the business.

The council wanted a way to easily enable service teams to develop and maintain their own forms and apps, with no development experience and very little training – they decided to use low-code to build a no-code form builder app, called Form Builder.
