Acquisition supporting Netcall’s goal to help councils to deliver significant change, fast

We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Govtech Holdings Limited, a pioneer in Revenues and Benefits automation. This acquisition aims to improve services and achieve cost savings for local government.

With the acquisition of Govtech, Netcall extends its presence in the local government sector, enhancing its Liberty portfolio with innovative digital solutions. Govtech’s expertise and innovative process automation technology will support Netcall’s capabilities, enabling the delivery of solutions that streamline operations and improve citizen experiences.

Local government automation to streamline income collection processes

Govtech’s platform handles approximately 30 million transactions annually, achieving up to 80% automation for 47 councils. This results in productivity savings with up to 50% increased efficiency in Revenues and Benefits teams, better citizen service and faster service delivery.

Netcall plans to integrate Govtech’s solutions into its Liberty platform, leveraging capabilities such as AI enhanced citizen experience technology, chatbots, RPA and rapid application development. This integration will combine the strengths of Govtech and Liberty to streamline income collection processes across Revenues and Benefits, Housing and Social Care.

“Govtech is a unique business with a highly experienced workforce and quality service offering, making it a trusted partner to numerous local councils in the UK. This acquisition significantly expands our presence in the local government sector and strengthens our product proposition. We are excited about the opportunities to extend offers to customers through integration with our existing suite of Liberty solutions. We look forward to welcoming the Govtech team to Netcall and are optimistic about our future growth prospects.”
