For water boards

Water boards play a crucial role in water management in the Netherlands, dry feet and clean drinking water as a primary task. You face the challenge of providing efficient and accessible digital services in a rapidly changing digital world. We understand these challenges and offer solutions that transform processes.

"We help water boards be close to residents and business owners where they need to be, and stay at a distance where they can. We make it easier to do business with the water board." 

How do we help water boards with their challenges?

Accessible information

By providing residents and business owners with optimal and accessible information

Digital

By letting residents and business owners request and arrange things digitally. But also informing them about their applications.

Directed

By giving residents and business owners direction over their own data.

Safe and modern

By connecting digital services securely and modernly with digital integrations of task and case systems.

Optimal processing

And by ensuring that water board specialists can incorporate optimal service delivery into back-office systems.

In other words, our solutions and services are designed to improve communication, simplify administrative processes and increase efficiency. All this according to the guidelines and legislation that Dutch water boards must comply with. What sets us apart is that as an organization we focus solely on providing software solutions to local governments in the Netherlands. This means that we have substantive knowledge and focus. 

We are not just a supplier with products and services that meet a government's needs and requirements. We are, but above all we are a partner who strives together with the government to provide optimal digital services. "Together we improve" is our slogan and that is what every water board can expect from us.

4. Integrating with systems  

Our software integrates seamlessly with existing back-office systems, ensuring efficient data exchange and smooth processing of requests. This means less manual input and less potential for errors, resulting in more streamlined and efficient service delivery. Integrations with and between our software are based on the standard interfaces known to water boards, from Standard Exchange Formats and messages to APIs that have been established. Digital services are more than just an online intake with a resident and business owner. Digital service delivery is the chain from intake to processing, without someone having to enter things manually and asking a resident or business owner for information that the government already has. 

What if a resident can't figure it out in the digital service process?

Shift2 stands for contact and connecting, so here too we offer solutions. For example, we offer a Customer Contact System, which we use as a supporting tool to provide immediate assistance to residents and business owners who contact us by phone. Smart integrations with a PDC and other web content are readily available. If on the phone a resident or business owner cannot be helped directly in the first line, then transfer or callback is initiated in the second line. Our KCS solution is thus the ideal extension of digital services.
