£350k ROI
Typically, a mid-sized Council with 80,000 Chargeable Dwellings, which achieves an online take-up rate in Revenues of 50% in Yr 1, 65% in Yr 2 and reaches a plateau of 80% thereafter will free up a total of around 25 man-years over 5 years, the net value of which is approximately £350,000 after service fees. This is a pure financial justification. Business cases which include the value of work to which freed up resources are reassigned (e.g. Collections) will often show much higher returns on investment.
New team
Some Councils are exploiting the freed up resources to create a dedicated team to tackle long-standing arrears and/or to increase the current collection rate. Kirklees MBC, collected an extra £1.2m in the first 12 months.
