Specifically designed to integrate with the complete set of modules provided in the LawWare Practice Management Suite, the Activity & Time Recording Module provides an invaluable managerial tool for analysing the cost of individual transactions, identifying areas of staff productivity and profitability, and offering valuable risk management facilities.

Improved functionality.

While many time recording systems involve the separate preparation of time sheets, which are then laboriously entered into a system by support staff, LawWare provides the complete simple to use activity & time recording function directly on the desktop.

In keeping with the LawWare ethos, individual fee earners log entries in real-time. Then they are immediately available throughout the LawWare suite. LawWare uniquely makes your Activity & Time Recording Information available through the suite of modules on a real-time basis ensuring that the true level of time expenditure on client work is accurately recorded and utilised for managerial and fee-charging purposes.

Gone are the days of either guessing at the time involved in completing a transaction. Gone also is the chore of painstakingly adding up the number of copy-letters on a file to determine the work level involved. Here are the days of true system integration. One where fee-earners input brief or detailed file notes on-screen as appropriate.

The benefits.

This information is then immediately available across the complete suite of modules for the purposes of Invoice Generation and Time Management. Indeed the savings in unbilled time could in themselves soon pay for the LawWare Activity & Time Recording Module. With LawWare your firm can benefit from accurate recording and reporting of time expenditure and cross-practice access to on-screen file entries. Instead of searching for a paper file, being able to access the latest details at the touch of a button. The system supports two or more members of staff accessing the same file records simultaneously. Have you ever wished to be able to access the details of work carried out on a file directly from your home PC to complete a vital transaction out-of-hours – all this is possible with the LawWare Activity & Time Recording module forming part of the LawWare Integrated Practice management Suite.
