The Challenge

Duplicate entries, outdated interfaces, and rigid workflows burdened the state’s child welfare workers—causing delays, inefficiencies, and detracting from critical services. Our client, a State Government, needed a streamlined, user-friendly system that could be deployed quickly and integrated seamlessly with legacy tools.

Launch helped a state government deliver a modern, mobile-first child welfare system that accelerates response times and reduces caseworker burden.

The Solution

Over a 3-year partnership, Launch collaborated with the state’s internal teams to modernize the full child welfare process:

  • Developed a comprehensive modernization roadmap across intake, referrals, provider management, and case tracking
  • Delivered a new .NET-based web application with streamlined intake and smart navigation
  • Designed and deployed a modern, responsive mobile application for caseworkers in the field
  • Integrated new features with existing legacy systems to minimize training time and support faster rollout
  • Conducted ongoing Agile sprints to prioritize rapid delivery and reduce service disruption

The Results

The modernized system transformed how the agency serves children and families:

  • Faster Case Response
    Smart intake and navigation enable faster identification and response to child needs.
  • Minimal Service Disruption
    Agile delivery and legacy integration ensured continuity throughout deployment.
  • Scalable Platform
    The system’s architecture supports evolving state needs while empowering remote fieldwork.
  • Enhanced Caseworker Experience
    Clean design and streamlined workflows reduce administrative burden and improve focus on family outcomes.

With the new platform in place, the state is better equipped to provide safe, timely, and responsive services to children and families. Modernization efforts not only increased efficiency and usability, but also reinforced the agency’s mission to protect and support the most vulnerable.
