Here are just some of the clients Liberata has worked with
Levels of performance have been high with accuracy and productivity comparable to our own staff. We have improved our performance – the contribution being the flexibility of resource creating consistency in work outstanding and processing times. The flexible resource has meant that we have been able to make savings through not replacing staff who have left – we have been able to use the resources available in a more intelligent way. This also offers us protection going forward as UC reduces our HB caseload. Savings have been excess of £100,000 over the last 3 years.
Matt Kelly
Benefits Team Leader, Dacorum Borough Council
The combination of solution and data cleansing tools from Liberata has massively impacted the processing of Universal Credit claims here at South Ayrshire Council. We have reduced all manual intervention down to just 18% on all claims meaning that staff can focus upon more complex or urgent cases. We are hoping to further increase automation levels to deliver further efficiencies. This has also enabled our teams to more easily handle the workload increase associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.
Jamie Falconer
Team Supervisor (Benefit Services), South Ayrshire Council
The service was easy to manage and has helped the Council identify and remove a significant percentage of single person discounts and it has been interesting to see that the results have been delivered from across all Council Tax bands. We will certainly look to run another SPD review within two years.
Richard Skilbeck
St Albans Council
Following a tendering process, two suppliers were engaged by the Council to maximise its business rates income. The RV Finder service from Liberata has really helped us ensure that our data is as accurate as possible and, when the VOA has processed the outstanding cases, I fully expect to see more than £1,000,000 of additional RV. The “risk and reward” model works well and the Council only has to pay for their success and the service is something that we will use on a regular basis.
Steve King
Revenues & Benefits Team Leader, Leicester City Council
Our 2022 Empty Homes Review was another seamless process of working in partnership with a well-established, efficient and trust worthy supplier. The review not only generates income for the Council but also ensures our Council Tax records are updated with accurate and timely information.
Gary Muskett
Assistant Director: Revenues & Benefits
I also wanted to say that your website is by far the best Council website I've ever encountered. It's easy to navigate and incredibly clear, so thank you.
Swindon Citizen
