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

The first standard-based modern service directory

Our mission is to surface local, place based services to people that need to find them in the most simple possible way. 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.

Completely configurable service directory that enables citizens to easily find services by category and location

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 communications for things like new council tax/business rates bills. But also for alerts like a person going into housing arrears. Or where a taxi licence has expired. Or to tell them the bins are due for collection the next day

Ability to send notifications via email, SMS and even Facebook Messenger

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

Ability to see all correspondence sent for a particular account and drill into all detail of every item with a full audit

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

A common identity server powered using OAuth2 / OpenID ensures users can seamlessly access different portals with a single login where appropriate
