Marcus RichardsThe way humans do legal business has been evolving for centuries.
At first, it was primarily managed by human employees. Moving further, computers were introduced, and experts of the day thought they’d leave humans irrelevant. Rather, it encouraged humans to do better. Similarly, new technologies are arriving in the legal business landscape to date. Some of them are useful and can help make business easier.
In this blog, we are talking about a few products of such useful technologies.
Here’s a list of six software and digital tools that every growing law firm should have. So, if you are a business owner consistently eyeing to scale it up, this is the blog for you.
1. Legal billing software
If you own a business that you are planning to grow, you may have enough cash flow to support the growth. And this can’t be achieved without consistent and efficient invoicing.
As a business owner, you may have to consider a number of factors while managing your company’s invoicing process. From the timely generation of invoices to aligning them with the client’s billing cycle and later following up for delayed payments – it’s all a part of the process.
Amidst this, suitable legal payment software (a.k.a legal billing software) can help your business. These tools are equipped with tons of features for automatically generating invoices, setting reminders for raising invoices and follow-ups, and more tech to manage finances.
2. Digital transformation assessment tools
Many times, new businesses tend to jump into nascent technology trends just for the sake of participation. However, this mostly results in failure, as not every business is ready for all the latest technologies.
With the help of a digital transformation assessment tool, you can find out whether your business is ready for a digital transformation or not.
Such tools can help your business look into its ongoing processes, challenges, and goals and figure out how well a new technology can help achieve or delay them.
3. WhatsApp Business
Although underrated, WhatsApp Business can help your business respond professionally to leads and queries coming in from social media. Apart from that, a WhatsApp business account will help you own different personal and professional WhatsApp accounts, clearing the clutter when you need to focus.
WhatsApp business latest features allow it to seamlessly integrate with Facebook and Instagram ads, which can help its users get leads straight to their WhatsApp messenger.
4. Google Workspace
Another one of Google’s super-useful business tools – Google Workspace, makes collaboration effortless and more productive.
From booking your calendar for an upcoming event to booking your employees’ calendars for the next meeting, Google Workspace allows you to do it all.
To make work better, Google Workspace offers a bunch of tools such as Google Mail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Meet, and more. The best thing is that you don’t have to use them all at once. You can choose the tools most suited for your business and use only them.
Apart from this, seamless integration across the Google Workspace ecosystem gives it an unmatched advantage.
5. Google Data Studio
Google data studio is a data analytics tool like no other (Of course, it’s from Google).
From converting data into customizable reports to presenting them in the form of visually interactive dashboards, Google Data Studio can do it all.
Apart from this, Google Data Studio is rich with features such as Data Connectors. Such features enable a seamless integration of Google Data Studio with other Google platforms, such as Google Sheets and Google Ads.
The primary goal of Google Data Studio is to transform raw data into an accessible format.
6. Content management system (CMS)
For any growing law firm, the Internet is the place to be at. Over the last decade, we have seen how more and more people have started using the Internet for day-to-day activities. So, whether your business offers B2B consultations or deals directly with clients, its target audience will certainly be present on the web.
For this reason, it becomes nearly impossible to overlook the importance of having a website and a blog.
A CMS helps make blog and website management easier.
So, if your business is growing and you don’t already have a website and a blog, this is the time to invest in a reliable CMS such as WordPress or Wix.
