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.
“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.”

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.
