GoShift has been through a transformation this year, as we move to implementation and start to think about a national approach. With over 20 councils already involved, we are creating real change across the industry. There are more exciting opportunities on the horizon and more councils keen to join us.

As you know, in 2017 we launched a fully digital application portal. Customers using the portal have given us great feedback, and many are using the portal to work across council boundaries. If your council would like to move to the digital space, get in touch and we can show you how the portal works.

Earlier this year we launched a shared and aligned online QMS. It allows for Council-specific variations without compromising the aligned core processes. Again, we’d love to talk further with you if you are interested in putting the Quality Manual in place.

So why are we rebranding? We’ve taken on board the feedback we’ve had from councils around the country about the GoShift brand. They told us GoShift is seen as a software system that is competing with industry vendors; that GoShift is only seen as an initiative for selected councils; that many do not realise our products are scalable across any size council; and the perception that GoShift is part of the GoGet offering.

Our new name reflects what we are trying to achieve, by making the consenting process simpler and faster. Our focus is connecting industry and we will continue to build strong partnerships across the whole industry.

We are Simpli: building consistency through collaboration.
