Gov.uk Pay integration
So much functionality Built-in
A no code framework
API Framework | A no code engine
Councils have literally tens of different core applications. These use different integration mechanisms like REST, HTTP, SOAP and rarely use standards from one system to another.
This has historically meant fixed self service portals built by legacy software suppliers that only work for one department. With OneVu, we wanted to remove the technical gobbledegook and provide a single user interface for citizens and a single no code way for business users to add/amend the portal.
To do this we built an API framework that provides a consistent integration mechanism and allows non-technical staff to change content.
Change content of your portal without the need for help from IEG4 or IT
Provides the ability to provide personalisation of content with a built-in capability to show/hide content based upon the data from a back office application
Provides complete flexibility in terms of the user interface, as it supports HTML and CSS should councils want to expand and go further in their portal's evolution
Provides a mechanism to retrieve data for other uses such as website personalisation and smarter chat bots
Converts data from legacy back office integration mechanisms into modern GDS best practice driven JSON
CRM Lite

Today you want citizens to have a single view of the council and do things themselves online. But for when people do call, OneVu has a built-in Customer Services Vu, which enables you to have a single view of the citizen.

Issue monitoring
Prevent duplication / maximise engagement
With OneVu, we're providing a platform for digital. Any requests that are made, which capture location can now be shown automatically on a map to prevent duplicate/triplicate requests. Not only can this be used for any location-based service, it can all be done with NO CODE.

In the same place a person can find out their bin day they can find out where they could get help managing their money or where their elderly parent can find services help with loneliness. All designed to help reduce the burden on social care with a proactive approach.

eNotifications / eBilling
Limitless | Innovative
Most electronic notification services require councils to pay each and every back office system supplier to use their electronic notification module. With a platform based, innovative approach we have provided the means for a council to deliver eNotifications/eBilling for ANY department and for ANY purpose. What's more our approach of enabling all services use GOV.UK Notify means you can have a consistent way of notifying customers irrespective of channel/department.
Simple to configure manner of setting up your notification types without help from IEG4 or IT

Ability to send emails/SMS/letters via GOV.UK Notify
Ability to customise the content of all messages in both HTML and plain text formats

Multiple Portals
Business | HR | Leisure | Anything
OneVu comes with a built-in function that enables you to create distinct and more specific portals that can share all, some or none of the content that citizens see.
For example you can create a business portal that enables businesses to find out about trade waste, business rates, licensing, highways but not see content like council tax/social care which citizens would see.
Likewise you could have a HR portal where staff can see payslips and request leave in the same place they can see their council tax/bin days.
Limitless control over the number of distinct portals you want
The ability to filter which departments (info), forms, trackable processes are shown in each portal
The ability to have dedicated styling and header/footer for each portal
The ability to configure different host names for url creation
