For any law office, time is truly money. But money
means billing, a function that for many firms is a necessary,
ponderous task. It's often time-consuming and inefficient.
For example, to obtain a current case status may
involve many steps and hours of staff time. To process a client's
fees? It can take days. To access a case history? Don't ask.
Not so with CaseLode.
Our Time & Billing system allows you to see
an up-to-the-minute status of a bill at any time, and you can
see it in seconds with the touch of a key. All entries into Time & Billing
are immediate, which means that batch posting and processing
are eliminated. And any staff member with the appropriate security
clearance can enter or review billing information from any workstation.
With CaseLode, the system is not only current but
also live. That means time and charges are captured now rather
than later. Better still, everything bookkeeping posts can be
generated immediately in a document--plus all data in the system
can be revised or changed.
Everybody makes mistakes, and CaseLode is programmed
to take that into consideration...then do something about it.
And the variety of options...with CaseLode you
have a number of statement formats and many flexible methods
of computing fees for invoicing. Very simply, for any situation,
for any billing dilemma, CaseLode has an answer.
Because Time & Billing is integrated with the
other CaseLode modules, you only need a single entry. There is
no need to duplicate your efforts. And CaseLode's flexibility
provides a variety of management modules you may add to Time & Billing
allowing you essentially to design CaseLode to fit the specific
needs of you firm.
CONFLICT AVOIDANCE
No longer a day-long affair, CaseLode allows anyone with the proper
user clearance to check potential conflicts with the touch of a
key.
The thoroughness of CaseLode provides you with every detail of
the case. And you can do a complete name check--even if you cannot
remember the spelling. Just enter a couple of the letters in the
name, and CaseLode does a thorough search of your files.
TICKLER SYSTEM
Because CaseLode is fully integrated, you have access to complete
calendar information. And because the calendar is firm-wide, you
have quick access to scheduling information, like who is available
to cover for a sick attorney, who is in court or who is in a meeting
out of town.
MANAGEMENT REPORTING
From simple client rosters to complicated profitability reports,
CaseLode features a sophisticated reporting module that covers
a wide range of information. It provides the firm with its own
optimized reporting system in three areas:
- Management Reports – that
track productivity and profitability of individual timekeepers
and profit centers
in the firm.
- Financial Reports – that
provide account status information, month-end balancing tools...virtually
all concerns of the firm's
financial condition.
- Client Reports – that
offer quick access to information like client rosters, conflict
reports
and case summary reports.
Some of the reports available are: Case Summaries, Daily Journal,
Account Aging, Billings Outstanding, Cost Advanced Balance Report,
Credit Summary, Fee Distribution, Fee Analysis, Practice Analysis,
Fee Summary, Billing Attorney Case Report, Open Item Statements
and many other useful management reports.
And like all the CaseLode software, you can protect confidential
files because you decide the security level of your information.
COST TRACKING & RECOVERY
You make several long distance phone calls. A hundred photo copies.
You mail some material...all on your client's behalf. Now the question
becomes: how do you recoup these expenses? Traditionally, recovering these costs required manual logs and
transaction entries, involving hours and hours of accounting time
for you or your staff. And, naturally, many of these costs seemed
to slip through the cracks. Just disappear. They became, in a sense,
out-of-pocket expenses for you.
CaseLode changes all that. Through intensive research and testing,
we've developed the methods that allow our system to interface
with the most common cost tracking devices. Telephones, copiers,
postage meters, fax machine... the costs you incur on these machines
for your clients can be processed directly into their files for
billing.
You still have to purchase the tracking devices. But using the
devices in tandem with CaseLode eliminates the costly manual labor.
You can actually track and recover your expenses quickly and efficiently...not
watch them disappear.
