- Billing: Automated

- 7 weeks: Implementation
The Challenge
A growing law firm operated with separate systems for case management, document storage, time tracking, and billing. Attorneys spent significant time searching for case documents across multiple repositories, time entries were lost before billing, and the billing process required manual reconciliation of time records against matter budgets.
The Solution
Techseria implemented a Frappe/ERPNext-based legal practice management platform integrating matter management, time recording, document management, and billing into a single system. Custom billing rules for different matter types (fixed fee, hourly, retainer) were configured. Document management integration enabled keyword search across the firm's case document library.
