The Problem

Spreadsheets are only convenient for so long

The value of a spreadsheet tracker begins to expire as your legal team grows. If you’re here, chances are that you are looking to find a better, more permanent solution for legal intake management.

01

Manual data input is clunky and takes time

The purpose of a tracker is to manage work more efficiently. So why do spreadsheets take so much time out of your day to update?

02

Information is limited to what’s visible in the cell

The nature of legal work is complex and can often change at a moment’s notice. Only so much information can be seen from one cell.

03

Reporting is tiresome and hard to customize

Creating reports is difficult and time-consuming, hindering the legal team's responsiveness and clarity on metrics, performance, and department value.
