Business and licensing

How My Council Services can help you

Receiving online applications – My Council Services can be fully integrated with the online application portal provided as part of GOV.UK as well as enabling your organisation to accept direct applications via your own channels (web, phone and face-to-face).
Reviewing applications – My Council Services’ integrated rules engine enables efficiencies in the process of reviewing applications, whilst still enabling manual intervention either by the applicant or by council staff as and when needed.
Assessing eligibility – Some license and permit processes required eligibility or compliance assessment to be completed remotely. Our license and contracts solution can include full mobile working functionality, enabling whoever is carrying out the assessment to benefit from a fully end-to-end digital process, from setting appointments and sending reminders to writing up notes digitally and updating all relevant parties on outcomes.
Managing the outcome of an application – My Council Services supports all the functionality required to manage unsuccessful applications, including the provision of an appeals process with as much or as little automation as appropriate.
Payment and issuing of licenses, badges and permits – once an application has been approved, My Council Services supports all the functionality required to issue the badge. The platform can interoperate with print and production services. If payment is required this can be collected via your existing payment gateway which can be integrated with the My Council Services License and Contracts solution.
Identifying misuse and enabling enforcement – My Council Services enables all aspects of enforcement from enabling members of the public to report suspected misuse, relating to a license of any description, quickly and easily through to identifying duplicate or potentially fraudulent applications. Misuse reports can be generated for internal review. Device independent mobile working functionality enables enforcement officers to work efficiently whilst out in the field.
