The challenge

A public-sector agency was managing thousands of cases a year across 14 spreadsheets and several shared inboxes. Handovers were lost, audit requests took weeks to answer, and nobody could say how long a case really took.

Our approach

We mapped the full case lifecycle with front-line staff, then built the smallest version of the platform that could replace the most painful spreadsheet first.

  • Role-based workflow for intake, review, approval and closure
  • Full audit trail on every case, exportable on demand
  • Migration of historical records with validation reports for each batch

The results

  • Pilot live in six weeks from kickoff
  • All 14 spreadsheets retired within four months
  • Audit requests answered in minutes rather than weeks
