Automatic Timekeeper

Timekeeping is one of the most critical processes for many law firms, yet one of the most difficult to control. Attorneys are extremely busy providing legal services and often don’t have time to track their activities manually.

Additionally, it is difficult to track at a granular level the number of hours you spend with clients generating and tracking expenses, creating briefs, and billing and invoicing. The task of tracking time is often manual and pushed to the end of the day or week, when it becomes even more challenging to recall individual actions.

The new Neos Automatic Timekeeper allows our customers to:

  • Bill more time and realize more billable hours – Now you can more accurately track billable activities of lawyers and other professionals
  • Increase productivity – Automated time capture relieves many lawyers of the administrative burdens associated with recording and reporting their time
  • Realize higher revenue – Law firms note the dual benefits of reducing the frequency of write-offs due to more robust lawyer time tracker

Neos Timekeeper highlights:

  • Automatically start tracking time as soon as you enter a case
  • Start a timer from anywhere in Neos and manage multiple timers from different cases
  • Create value items directly from a timer and streamline the conversion of time spent to billable hours
  • New activity code field available for time entries enhance billing and accounting workflows

New search experience – Now smarter and faster!

The new search experience in Neos allows you to find what you are looking for in less time. Neos user data shows that most workflows in Neos begin with a search. By improving the search experience, we are improving the efficiency of all workflows in Neos:

  • Search is now 3x faster, and the search bar is easily accessible from the top navigation
  • Better and more accurate results for name, case, and Intake searches; the search logic was improved to list the more relevant results first and help users find the right contact/case with fewer clicks
  • The search results now display full address, contact image, default phone/email, date of birth, and role to help users identify results faster
  • Clicking on a search result will display more information about it and list any associated cases/contacts with that record
  • Improved user experience on mobile devices with all information combined in a single side pane

Triggers and Actions for Checklist (Intake Pro feature)

Save staff time and improve efficiency by using new automation with the Neos Checklist. Users can now set automated triggers and actions in the Checklist, so once items are completed, you can now trigger the following action. In addition, automation with triggers and actions allows for client communications through the case’s entire lifecycle. Immediate use cases are to send pre-written messages to customers as their case progresses, but the opportunities are limitless.

Notification Manager

Never miss a notification with the new Neos Notification Center!

  • See all recent notifications, @mentions, direct messages, DocuSign, new Intakes, and more
  • Link directly to the specific record that triggered the notification
  • Click on the notification and Neos will open the note, case, or document that generated the notification

New Integrations

In addition to integrations with tools your firm already uses, including Microsoft 365, MS SharePoint, DocuSign, and Lexitas, we’ve added a number of other integrations to help your firm maximize productivity.

  • Intake Pro – Zapier (UX) – Zapier is now embedded in Neos under the Integrations tab. This functionality allows users to add and configure actions and integrations (Zaps) without ever leaving Neos
    • Additionally, the Zapier integration enables users to map source and marketing fields to track where the Intakes are coming from and how the leads were generated
  • American Retrieval Company (ARC) – Customers of the leading medical record retrieval company ARC can now initiate their digital medical record retrieval straight from Neos
  • Scorpion – If you’re a Scorpion customer, your client data can now push from Neos to Scorpion’s digital marketing platform, enabling visibility into marketing and client insights
