Local Government Guide to creating operational efficiencies and improving CX
With a customer-first focus, various communication channels can be used for more positive citizen interactions – and improved efficiencies. Adding value to these interactions with technology platforms allows citizens to select how and when they want to communicate.

Testimonial
The overall customer satisfaction was superb, as we were able to reduce waiting times dramatically. We used Q-Flow for our drop in service once the appointments were implemented and this had the greatest impact on service delivery, as we could successfully inform customers of the delays expected and spread the footfall throughout the day. The team were under less pressure which made a much better working environment and we could successfully plan resources accordingly. The Q-Flow system had proved to be totally stable and reliable as we have had zero down time since the implementation several years ago.

The advanced queue management system provided by ACF allows us to effectively manage our customers to provide the customer service excellence we committed to delivering. In addition to this, the system provides comprehensive reporting abilities to allow us to analyse our performance, identify peak contact times and efficiently plan staff resource to meet both our service commitments and business demands
Nina Martin, City Helpdesk Manager
ACF has been a great partner, incredibly responsive and adaptive as we made adjustments. Q-Flow is the ‘crown jewel’ example of effectively managing county dollars. Other counties now visit our offices, just to see the system at work.
