The challenge
The same facts get typed into multiple tools because nothing owns the handoff. Intake captures information once, then account staff re-enter it into a CRM, a document template, and a task tracker. Rush weeks turn small typos into rework.
The approach
One source for client facts, with automated population into the tools that need them. Anything that looks incomplete or unusual routes to a person before it ships. The team keeps final sign-off on outbound documents.
The outcome
Hours back each week for the internal team. Fewer copy-paste errors on routine matters. Client-facing work stays with people who know the relationship.
What we measured
Time spent on re-entry per new matter. Error rate on fields that used to be typed twice. How often an exception queue fires versus straight-through completion.
