The problem
Lawyers worked on several matters at once and wrote their hours in notebooks — or just “remembered” them. At month end someone had to turn that into invoices, which meant guessing how much time went where. Some hours simply vanished, and that's money lost.
A client asking “what exactly am I paying for?” got an answer glued together from emails and notes. It didn't look good and it cost more hours.
What we built
We built a panel where logging time takes less than making coffee: pick the client, the matter, the task — done. The system does the rest.
- Time entries tied to a client, a matter and a task.
- A billing dashboard: hours turn into invoice amounts by themselves.
- Monthly and quarterly reports per client.
- A team view — you can see who works on what and what it costs.
The result
Today 100% of hours are logged, and a whole month of invoicing closes in one afternoon. No hour goes missing, so invoices simply went up — without raising rates.
Clients get a clear statement of what they're paying for, so the “and what's this for?” questions have practically disappeared.
