About esd-toolkit

esd-toolkit enables local authorities to deliver benefits by adding value to 4 key challenges for local government:

  • Focusing on the customer - Do you know which services your customers want and which channels they prefer?
  • Empowering front line staff - Do your frontline staff have access to the to the service information they need?
  • Sharing service delivery - Are you using national standards to maximise the opportunities?
  • Improving service delivery - Are your decisions to improve services made on the basis of evidence?

About The Customer Profiling Project

esd-toolkit maps local demographic profiles (unique to each participating council) against esd-toolkit’s extensive list of services delivered to customers. Through automated or semi-automated means, councils are outputting transactional data to the esd-toolkit so that demographic profiles are identified by volume and channel of access against each service (web, telephone and face to face are examples of access channels). From this process, councils are able to find out which demographic profiles are using what services and, for each service delivered, current customer channel preferences and the cost of servicing channel preferences.

What The GovMetric esd-toolkit Customer Profiling Project Partnership Delivers

Because GovMetric has been developed on the same underpinning standards of the Local Government Service List, and references similar standards around definition of interactions, it is possible to effectively combine the customer profiling data and the customer satisfaction data.

GovMetric is able to identify what customers think about certain services over certain channels. By extending this knowledge with the customer segment profile it is possible to understand what certain types of customers think about certain services over certain channels – and how this varies by segement. A very powerful customer insight.
