Low-code – The fastest way to build business apps

Liberty Create is a low-code platform – it lets users build, test, launch and optimise applications that automate business processes. And they can do it all with very little or no code. IT only gets involved to vet, secure and improve applications.

This is a new form of digital transformation – low-cost, collaborative, organic and fast.

Liberty Create – The benefits

Improve agility
When your business users become developers you can roll out applications 5x faster. Now you can rapidly react to changing citizen demands.
Beat legacy gridlock
Liberty Create doesn’t replace your existing legacy systems, it ties them together. That means no more data siloes or disjointed processes.
Digitise, fast
When dozens of people are empowered to automate siloed or manual processes, change spreads quickly and organically. Problems are solved in the moment and improvements are made incrementally.
Overcome the skills shortage
Rapid innovation used to mean outsourcing or hiring expensive developer talent. Create gives you a shortcut – upskill your business users and they can build 80% of applications themselves.
Bring your business together
Collaboration is at the heart of Create. Bring your citizen-facing staff together with IT and you can build solutions that work for your citizens and your organisation.
Bespoke solutions
Point solutions rarely deliver to your specific needs. You’re always trying to put a round peg in a square hole. Liberty Create lets you build apps that are unique to your organisation. Or you can borrow from a council that’s already solved your problem.

“I’ve found the best things about Netcall’s low-code is 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.”
— James Bovington, Senior Digital Developer, Adur & Worthing Councils

  • Build safe, secure ways of sharing information
  • Deliver a better quality of service to citizens
  • Collaborate and share with other organisations

Empower agile multidisciplinary teams to make a big difference – fast!

Stay on top of changing customer demands

It’s never been easy to meet customer needs. They’re constantly changing along with national circumstances.  Processes are locked down and teams have to create manual workarounds. Low-code means digital teams make useful updates quickly and easily. They can cross-skill and share activities. Agile development methods add capacity to their team. And, everyone has a better focus on the outcomes.

Break down silos for rapid process transformation

It’s easy to understand how department-based tech and manual methods lead to data silos and separate working. Low-code enables multidisciplinary teams to co-operate and change accelerates.  Departments feel in control of their process change early on. It brings out the best in their thinking. And, the ease of integration using REST and SOAP APIs makes it simple and fast.

Seeing is believing, build with your departmental teams

Innovating processes is exciting. Yet, when you are running back and forth trying to remember all the small necessary details, it can feel like an uphill task. There’s a better way. Low-code, is so fast you can build the process there and then with your users. They see the new process as its unfolding and can quickly remind you of any specifics.

Move the digital uptake needle by 85%

When the transformation pressure’s on, it’s easy to overlook involving customers. Time is everything and results matter. Case studies show that when our customers involve their residents it has incredible results.  A logical user-friendly GDS compliant interface boosts digital uptake. Best of all, the real-time process map shows bottlenecks as they happen. Your team can see where any issues arise and resolve them immediately at no cost.
