Government financial software to automate the acquisition and monitoring of customers, arrears, recovery and consumer engagement
Your customers face a difficult financial time, the rising cost of living puts increasing pressure on consumers and forces them to make difficult decisions on paying their bills.
Aryza provides the tools to enable you to make things easier for them. You can help customers to quickly understand their financial situation, and allow them to make better choices and feel more in control of their personal finances.
We have secured a place on the Crown Commercial Services framework and this will allow us to efficiently service any opportunities in Government.
Empowering consumers to take control of their finances
The Aryza suite of government financial software helps build a more accurate picture of personal circumstances, and the level of vulnerability.
This involves assessing income and other debt commitments, and, using this data to construct a repayment agreement that is affordable.
Aryza tools can also identify stress points in the consumer’s regular finances and help avoid the demand for payment at particularly difficult times.
These tools provide a long-term solution to indebtedness and allows your customers to build a manageable pathway out of debt. In particular they support vulnerable consumers to avoid creating problems that local authorities are trying to resolve in the support of vulnerable individuals.
There are financial benefits for local authorities adopting a more sophisticated and responsible debt collection system
Using data from credit bureaus and open banking to tailor the approach to each consumer’s circumstances.
Aryza’s tools have shown that collection rates increase whilst demand on social services is reduced, as indebted consumers are helped to get back on their feet.
All our products are available in secure interfaces that let consumers deal directly with you via their mobile device, PC, or tablet. They can be accessed 24/7 and can automate your existing processes and workflows.
Aryza tools use a simple interface, presenting customers with simple questions and making it easy for them to submit information via open banking or manually to provide an accurate picture of their financial position.
The systems are built to require minimal integration, so you will typically be up and running in a matter of weeks without putting any pressure on your in-house IT resources.
The key benefit for a local authority is that the need to use enforcement agents with potentially vulnerable people can be dramatically reduced, whilst collection rates increase using low cost digital channels.

Helping you understand affordability and working with consumers to build repayment options
With local authorities facing budget constraints, debt collection has become a key issue. Council tax arrears combined with adult social care debt and housing benefit overpayments, has created an estimated £5.2bn of debt remaining uncollected by local authorities. Most local authorities use of enforcement agents to collect these arrears, although this approach is considered a very blunt tool for solving the problem and does not always provide the wider solutions needed to address the underlying debt issues people face.
