Time Matters offers a host of practice management features to boost your productivity and improve your bottom line through enhanced workflow, matter management, communications, and billing.

Centralized matter management - Help professionals in your firm be as well informed and organized as possible by storing all information pertaining to a particular matter in one centralized location. Simply open a matter record to view all related documents, emails, phone calls, notes, appointments, ToDo’s, research, billing items, and more. Authorized staff can access key information, easily view the status of a matter, and see upcoming deadlines.
Comprehensive calendar, task delegation, and reminder system - Real-time calendar, ToDo's, alerts, and reminders make it easy to manage your ever-changing schedule and list of priorities with multiple staff. Delegate and track tasks to others on your team, and receive alerts before something is due — or when someone has changed your schedule. With Inactivity Watch, you can easily follow up with clients and referral sources. Many applications notify a lawyer when something has happened, but few can notify you when a referral pipeline has dried up or when a client hasn’t updated an estate plan in more than two years.
Automated timers for easy time capture and billing - More accurately and completely bill for your time to increase revenue and better determine what cases/matters are profitable. Integration with most common billing/accounting applications means work performed for your client can be automatically accessible for billing. Billing integrations include PCLaw^SM Billing & Accounting Software, Juris®, Timeslips, QuickBooks®, Tabs3®, and Microsoft® SBA.
Integration with most common office productivity tools - Time Matters lets you pull together and view all of the firm’s information from one place. Link your documents, spreadsheets, Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations, PDF files, emails, online research and more.

Time Matters and PCLaw^TM Billing & Accounting Software has an extensive network of Certified Independent Consultants (CICs) in Canada and other countries. The customer contracts directly with the Consultant. CICs must attend certification classes at the Time Matters Training Centre or at a regional training facility and pass both written and oral exams.

If you require personalized assistance, or assistance that is beyond the scope of technical support (set up and operating systems, networks, hardware, SQL databases, etc.), consider contacting a CIC. A CIC can provide on-site visits for consultation, installation and setup, custom configurations, and training. If you'd like to harness more of the power of your system but aren't sure where to begin, you might benefit greatly from the skills and experience a CIC would bring.
