The challenge

While aiming to be the premier pensions administrator for the public sector, LPPA faced critical hurdles following the rapid deployment of new technology.

The client’s need:

LPPA approached Avocado55 to address systemic operational challenges that were impacting both staff efficiency and the member experience:

Manual Inefficiency: A heavy reliance on spreadsheets and manual workarounds to bypass system limitations.

Process Roadblocks: Inefficient contact center processes leading to high levels of “failure demand”.

Service Gaps: A lack of clear case ownership, which resulted in a poor experience for pension members.
