Fighting climate change

Our SMART AI platform advances public sector efforts to combat climate change by reducing carbon footprints through digital transformation. By enabling 24/7 self-service and automating routine enquiries, our technology significantly reduces the need for physical infrastructure and associated energy consumption. This digital shift minimises the environmental impact of commuting and office operations, aligning with governmental targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Travelling to clients whilst implementing solutions is kept to the minimum and when travel is required the company policy is to use public transport. 90% of other interactions are exclusively online.

Covid-19 recovery

In the wake of COVID-19, our SMART AI platform plays a crucial role in the recovery process by supporting resilient and flexible public services. It alleviates pressure on front-line staff by providing robust self-service options across multiple channels, 24-7, allowing users to access services without physical interaction. This capability has been essential in maintaining service continuity during social distancing measures, enhancing the public sector's ability to adapt to similar future challenges efficiently. This has been repeated in other situations where inbound demand signifcantly increases for a period of time and the platform can deal with massive spikes. Post COVID-19 examples are the Ukraine refugee crisis and more recently the cost of living crisis.

Tackling economic inequality

Our SMART AI platform contributes to reducing economic inequality by democratising access to essential public services. By lowering operational costs through automation and AI-driven efficiencies, public sector organisations can reallocate funds to critical services and vulnerable communities. Additionally, our technology facilitates wider access to services, ensuring that economically disadvantaged groups receive timely and equal support, thus bridging the service gap across socioeconomic statuses. When working in different parts of the Uk, our on site activivites contribute to the local eceonmy through the use of facilitites such as local, hotel, restaurants and other local services when we are onsite.

Equal opportunity

To enhance equal opportunity, our SMART AI platform incorporates accessibility and inclusivity at its core. It adheres to WCAG 2.1 AA standards, ensuring that our digital services are usable by people with disabilities. We extend this commitment by supporting multiple languages, which not only aids non-native speakers but also fosters inclusivity in diverse demographic settings. This approach ensures that all community members have equitable access to public services, regardless of physical ability or language proficiency.

Wellbeing

Our platform enhances community wellbeing by offering round-the-clock access to public services, reducing stress and improving life quality for users. By automating routine tasks, we enable public sector organisations to focus more on personalised support where it matters most, improving overall service quality and user satisfaction. Additionally, the support for multiple languages and accessible interfaces ensures that all individuals, including those facing language barriers or disabilities, can engage with services comfortably and independently.
