GovMetric CaseTracker vs Propel Complaint Handling

GovMetric CaseTracker is a complaints and case management system for UK councils, housing providers and public services. It covers corporate complaints, compliments, comments, statutory social-care complaints, councillor and MP enquiries, coroners’ enquiries and other workflow-based cases. Cases can be logged through web, email, telephone, post, face-to-face contact or mediated e-forms, with a secure portal for citizens to track progress. Workflows include automated triage, configurable stages, templates, deadline alerts and escalation triggers. The system is pre-configured for Housing Ombudsman, LGSCO and SPSO frameworks and offers regulator reporting alongside reports on trends, workload, status, escalation and other case data. Octavia AI can identify service requests, classify complaints, draft acknowledgements and summaries, monitor deadlines and generate regulator reports. CaseTracker is AWS-hosted SaaS, with data stored and processed in the EU/UK (Ireland). Listed annual licence prices are £13,500 a year for Band A, £17,500 a year for Band B and £24,000 a year for Band C, each for one case type and excluding VAT. Pricing is also described as on request.

Propel Complaint Handling links customer cases, complaint investigations, and FDA reporting around a product thread. Configured mapping can transfer cases into complaint records, limiting manual handoffs and duplicate entry. The system can prepare MedWatch Form 3500A from case and quality data and submit it digitally to the FDA over AS2. Decision trees assess event severity and determine global reporting requirements and timelines. Complaints can be linked to CAPA, NCMR, bill-of-materials data, and supplier workflows; automated Supplier Corrective Action Requests support supplier escalations. Complaint-triggered changes can use approval workflows, and revised procedures can start role-based training plans and compliance reporting. The cloud-native SaaS product runs on Salesforce, with mobile access for approvals, workflows, and collaboration on Apple or Android devices. Propel says it uses TLS 1.2 and HSTS for data in transit and encrypts data at rest on Hyperforce. There is no free plan and pricing is on request. Listed annual licenses are 10150.00 USD for Small, 50500.00 USD for Medium, and 250500.00 USD for Large; setup costs are separate.
