UK Power Networks uses low-code to deliver lean methodology efficiencies and drive CX
UK Power Networks own, construct and maintain the electricity infrastructure across London, the South East and East of England. The standard of service that they deliver is stringently measured by their regulator, Ofgem. Excellent customer experience (CX) is one of their highest priorities so they continually develop innovation, efficiencies and staff development for optimum performance.
The Lean Improvement Team are tasked with up-skilling and empowering employees to consistently achieve better business results. Their programme uses recognised lean manufacturing methodology, helping to develop more effective ways of working through innovation and align services to customer needs.
As 60% of their time was spent administering the process and arranging assessment appointments, they needed a more efficient, effective way to collaborate with teams across the organisation. They also needed to move away from heavy reliance on spreadsheets, with the user errors and inconveniences that these bring. They turned to the speed and flexibility of low-code, using Liberty Create, our low-code platform, to build an application for the Lean Improvement Team.
“The great thing about building the Lean App in Liberty Create is that it gives us the ability to expand, developing and building different elements to the platform. It has given us the tools to build a framework for driving innovation and improving performance.”

“Create was very intuitive to use. Our team members, with training and support from Netcall, were able to quickly learn how the platform worked, allowing us to adjust workflows, create our own automated comms and store relevant data, all in one platform. This saved significant time and cost.”

Low-code is fast, flexible and agile. It doesn’t demand an overhaul of your operations or additional pressure on IT.
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.
To maintain and grow its position as the assurance and certification partner of choice to the UK rail industry, NCB needed to update existing inefficient IT systems for managing assessment service delivery.
