The platform
Seventeen modules, written for South African practice. Each one is in the product today — where a module is narrower than its label suggests, the feature pages say so.
One register for every client, matter and instruction — numbered in your firm’s own format, with a timeline of what happened and who did it.
Ten ready-built South African playbooks — RAF, medical negligence, divorce, estates, criminal defence — track the checklist, the stages and the claim, and chase clients for outstanding documents automatically.
Due dates and reminders, a firm-wide view for partners, a shared diary with conflict warnings, and drag-and-drop boards that move matters through their stages.
Fee earners capture activities against the matter and the system prices them from that file’s fee arrangement — or from the gazetted court tariff — through a WIP review gate to invoice.
A trust ledger per matter, with bank-statement import, auto-matching, Section 86(4) interest handling and every reconciliation run kept as a record.
Transfer and bond matters with parties, dates and automatic stage progression, transfer-cost quotes and a client-facing tracker.
Collections that follow the National Credit Act sequence: Section 129 notices, payment arrangements, judgments and warrants of execution.
Verification checklists per client type, with every document captured, dated and chased before it expires.
Documents held against the matter they belong to with version history, and templates with merge fields that generate DOCX or PDF on your letterhead.
Send a document for signature with the fields placed on the page, verify the signer, and keep a signed PDF with a full event log.
E-mail, SMS and WhatsApp from one hub, with the thread and the delivery result recorded against the client.
Staff records, structure and leave, plus a South African payroll run with PAYE, UIF and SDL from statutory rate tables.
Financial, matter and client reports read from the same ledger your fee earners write to, exportable to PDF or Excel.
The partner cockpit — a firm scorecard against the period before and against targets you set, and a scorecard per fee earner. Restricted to partners and directors.
Search South African case law and legislation from inside the matter, keep what you find on the file, and read a judgment back as a FIRAC analysis.
Roles assembled from a granular permission catalogue, with time-limited overrides, absence cover, matter-level ethical walls and two-factor sign-in.
Your firm’s own view of account activity — alerts on the patterns that matter, a permanent event log, and thresholds you set yourself.
