In 2017, Ombudsman Services implemented Mitrefinch Flexipay as its core Payroll application. A Payroll HR Data Consultant engagement ran from August 2017 to May 2018 based in Warrington, United Kingdom, focusing on improving payroll accuracy and aligning HR and payroll workflows.
The implementation included configuration and data model work inside Mitrefinch Flexipay, with development of additional fields and automated routines. The team scoped, designed, and commenced payrolling of benefits in kind, and established P11d production processes, while also preparing Gender Pay Gap Reporting for 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, using VBA and macro development to increase process speed and accuracy.
Operational integration concentrated on synchronizing HR and payroll data, integrating fields across Mitrefinch, the organization time management system TMS, and Mitrefinch Flexipay. Functional coverage spanned HR and payroll teams, with workstreams addressing time and attendance inputs, payroll calculation workflows, statutory reporting, and benefits accounting.
Governance and rollout activities emphasized process redesign between HR and payroll and the introduction of automated data transformations using Excel macros and VBA. The consultant engagement documented scope, design and commencement milestones, and moved the organisation from manual reconciliations toward structured Payroll controls within Mitrefinch Flexipay.

| Soprano | Legacy | Soprano Ubisend Chatbot | Chatbots and Conversational AI | AI-Powered Application | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020 Ombudsman Services implemented Soprano Ubisend Chatbot as a front-line intake channel to manage incoming consumer and business inquiries, a deployment aligned to the Chatbots and Conversational AI category. The organization routinely receives very lengthy free-text messages, often 500 to 1,000 words, and 70 percent of those messages are complaints, which created a high-volume triage challenge that the Soprano Ubisend Chatbot was configured to address.
The implementation centered on a conversational triage module that prompts users to classify their submission as a complaint or a request for information and advice, converting open-ended narrative into structured intake fields. The Soprano Ubisend Chatbot uses conversation flows and intent classification to guide users through a decision tree and collect discrete data points, enabling subsequent handling steps to be determined from the chat session rather than from manual review of long messages.
Operational scope covered Ombudsman Services intake and complaints handling workflows across its UK operations, impacting customer service and case intake teams by inserting the chatbot as the initial contact node. Governance changed the front-end intake process, establishing new handoff points where chat-collected data and classified intent are passed to human advisors for escalation or case creation, and defining conversational scripts and escalation triggers as part of intake policy.
The Soprano Ubisend Chatbot tackles the triage directly by asking for complaint versus information status and by structuring user responses, this addresses the volume of narrative requests and standardizes the entry point for complaint handling and advisory functions. The narrative preserves the full application name Soprano Ubisend Chatbot and the Apps Category Chatbots and Conversational AI to reflect the implementation and its functional alignment.
