ISO 27001:2022 certified company, the internationally recognised information security management standard.

Public trust starts with how you build technology

Government and public sector organisations operate under a different level of scrutiny than most businesses. Every system must be secure, every process auditable, and every citizen interaction accessible, regardless of ability or circumstance. As a government software development company and public sector software development company, Square Root Solutions builds digital services specifically for this level of accountability, combining deep technical expertise with a genuine understanding of public procurement, compliance, and governance requirements.

Our public sector software development services bring independently verified credentials to every engagement, as one of Ireland's first ISO 42001 certified AI companies and ISO 27001 certified information security professionals, giving procurement teams the assurance they need before entrusting citizen-facing systems to a technology partner.

Digital Services Built for Public Trust

We build secure, accessible and accountable digital platforms that simplify public services, connect citizens with government organisations and make complex public-sector workflows easier to manage.

Government & Public Sector

Digital Citizen Services Platform

The Problem:

A government department was delivering several citizen services through paper forms, phone calls and separate online systems. Citizens struggled to understand which service they needed, while staff manually processed applications and repeatedly entered information across different systems.

Our Solution:

We built a secure citizen services platform that brings applications, document submission, status tracking and notifications into one accessible digital experience. Citizens can complete services online and track progress, while staff manage applications through a central administration portal with role-based access and automated workflows.

The Result:

Citizen applications moved from paper-based to digital workflows
Application processing time reduced significantly
Citizens gained real-time visibility into application status
Administrative teams spent less time on repetitive processing

Government & Public Sector

Government Data & Compliance Platform

The Problem:

A government agency was working with large volumes of operational and citizen data across legacy systems. Reporting was largely manual, making it difficult for leadership to identify trends, monitor service performance and maintain consistent data governance.

Our Solution:

We created a centralised data platform that integrates information from existing systems and provides structured dashboards for operational reporting. Data governance controls, role-based access, audit trails and automated reporting were incorporated to improve oversight and accountability.

The Result:

Reporting processes became faster and more consistent
Leadership gained clearer visibility into service performance
Data access and governance controls were strengthened
Manual reporting effort was significantly reduced

Government & Public Sector

Public Sector Case Management Platform

The Problem:

A public-sector organisation was managing complex cases across spreadsheets, email and disconnected internal systems. Case workers lacked a single view of citizen information, documents, communication history and case progress, making it difficult to manage workloads consistently.

Our Solution:

We developed a centralised case management platform that brings citizen records, documents, communications, tasks and case histories into one secure system. Role-based workflows allow different departments to collaborate while maintaining appropriate access to sensitive information.

The Result:

Case information consolidated into one secure platform
Case workers gained a complete view of each case
Manual administration and duplicate data entry reduced
Case progress became easier to track and report
