NEC Caseflow case management is based on NEC’s proven experience of supporting councils to deliver welfare and grant support at scale. Explore our case studies below to see how we have previously helped authorities to manage demand, maintain consistency and deliver support with confidence.
NEC CaseFlow enables the rapid launch of a digital Crisis Payments scheme, allowing residents to receive support sooner without lengthy system changes or manual workarounds.
It is an end-to-end workflow from application through decision to outcome, ensuring proper case tracking and consistent decision making. All whilst maintaining every case activity, communication, and histories in one place to support audit trails, reporting and provide confidence in delivery.
NEC CaseFlow supports the full lifecycle of CRF Crisis Payments, from application through to outcome.
It enables councils to:
- Capture applications digitally or via assisted‑digital routes
- Review evidence and assess eligibility in a structured process
- Record decisions clearly and progress approved cases to fulfilment
- Communicate outcomes and updates with applicants
- Monitor volumes, progress and service performance
