The council knowledge base
Do councils you've never done before, confidently. Submission contacts, processing notes, SLAs, fast-track rules — already there for every local authority in England and Wales.
Valio for personal search companies
You do everything. Here's a platform built for that.
Valio is built for the firm where the owner is also the ops manager, the accounts team, and the compliance officer. No generic workflow tool. No adapting software built for someone else. Purpose-built for personal search, from the ground up.

The honest pitch
You don't need a platform that claims to do everything. You need one that does your things well.
Valio runs your order pipeline from intake to report. It holds the council knowledge you'd otherwise maintain yourself. It handles your AML and identity checks inside the order. It produces your branded PDFs, your invoices, your insurance bordereau.
And when you're ready to grow — more councils, more staff, more specialist work — the platform grows with you.
The honest competitive position
The first platform built for the fulfilment side.
The platforms search companies have heard of — Elan, InfoTrack, SearchFlow — are excellent at helping solicitors place orders. That's what they're for. The moment an order lands with your team, those platforms step back. What happens next has historically been handled with spreadsheets and email.
Valio is the first platform built specifically for that side of the process. If you're a personal search company, there is nothing else like this.
Feature highlights
Everything the back office needs, in one place.
White-label everything
Your logo on the portal. Your logo on the report PDFs, invoices, and statements. Your firm is the brand. Valio is the engine.
Your pricing, your margins
Set your own price bands per council. Customer-specific overrides for key accounts. The pricing matrix shows at a glance what's priced and what isn't.
AML without the separate tool
Fourteen Veriphy checks — biometric ID, sanctions screening, fraud scoring, lawyer verification — launched from inside the order. Audit trail included.
Compliance built in
Immutable status history on every order. Email audit log. Sensitive field redaction in check payloads. Insurance bordereau ready for your underwriter, monthly.
Same-day onboarding
Browser-based. Nothing to install. Every council in England and Wales is already loaded. Most customers are live the same day.
Connected to the source
Plugged into the systems search runs on.
Valio talks directly to the authoritative data sources and providers your work depends on — so the right data flows in, and orders go out in the format each system expects.
