Tempus-Rex Mobile Time-Capture Application For Lawyers Captures Previously Unbilled Time, Recovers Lost Revenue
Tempus-Rex is a mobile time-capture SaaS application that runs on the BlackBerry smartphone. The app offers quick capture of phone calls, emails and calendar items with just one click, sending data to a secure hosted repository for later recall.
OTTAWA, ON, June 29, 2011 /Mobile Computing and PDA PR News/ -- A new mobile application to help lawyers in solo and small practices capture the millions of dollars of billable time that go unrecorded and unbilled in North America's legal system each year was relaunched by Tempus-Rex today.
It's estimated that every month, three to four hours of billable time per lawyer go unbilled due to inefficient timekeeping practices. In a profession where time is billed at hundreds of dollars per hour, this amounts to a significant and needless revenue loss each year. Firms large and small struggle with the capture of billable time, especially in the modern age where professionals are constantly on the move, using their mobile devices in addition to their desktops and landlines, to conduct business.
"With lawyers using mobile technology to service their clients almost anywhere at almost any time, they need an easy and straightforward way to capture and bill that time," said Don Joyce, managing partner, Tempus-Rex. "The very first time a lawyer in a solo practice or a small firm uses Tempus-Rex to capture even a single six-minute billing increment that otherwise would have gone unbilled, our application will have paid for itself."
Tempus-Rex uses the Carpe Diem Mobile time-capture engine, a proven and trusted enterprise-grade time-capture system that boasts an installed user base of over 25,000 timekeepers in some of the largest law firms around the world. Designed for solo and smaller practices, Tempus-Rex does not require a complex desktop setup or a protracted procurement process; solo practitioners, practioners in small firms or lawyers in large firms who want to complement their firm's available tools can simply download the app and immediately start capturing lost revenue.
Running on the BlackBerry smartphone, the Tempus-Rex application offers three standard functions. The active Jot-It-Down function enables the user to actively select the case, choose the time allotted to the case and add a description. The Remind Me feature prompts the user to capture the time spent on calls and emails, whether inbound or outbound, at the end of the activity. Tag-and-Send, the most popular functionality, enables users to go through phone logs, email logs or the calendar and tag any items that need to be captured, simply, in just a few clicks. Small firms with more than one subscriber can use the Managing ID function to consolidate captured data under a single ID for visibility and revenue tracking.
An intuitive user interface requires no training and, because it's a software-as-a-service, or SaaS, application, there's no software to install or maintain. The app is fully integrated with all BlackBerry functions, capturing billable time seamlessly, with no need for users to adjust how they work.
Tempus-Rex can be trialled free of charge for 30 days, following which it will cost $9.95 per month to continue to use the app. The data of individual users is securely hosted on a client portal at the Tempus Rex website, where it is housed for the duration of subscribership. Billing details can be downloaded on demand, in spreadsheet form, and imported into most common billing and accounting systems used by lawyers.
Partnerships with bar associations like the California Bar Association and service providers like T-Mobile in select U.S. markets result in discounts for members.
Applications that run on other popular mobile platforms are currently in development.
