Law firm, 5 working days to a working version
Metrify: the law firm knows how many hours went into each case — in 5 days
Hours were in notebooks and lawyers’ heads, so end-of-month invoicing felt like archaeology. Metrify tracks time as you go.
In brief
- Problem
- Lawyers worked on several cases at once, logging hours in notebooks or simply “remembering” them. At the end of the month, someone had to turn that into invoices — meaning guessing how much time went into each case. Some hours were simply lost.
- Solution
- A dashboard where logging time takes less time than making coffee: choose a client, case and task, and you’re done. The system calculates the rest.
- Result
- Today, 100% of hours are logged, and invoicing for the entire month takes just one afternoon. No hours get lost, so invoice totals have gone up — without raising rates.
100%hours logged. A month of billing in one afternoon.
- Industry
- Law firm, several lawyers, hourly billing
- Delivery time
- 5 business days
- Scope

Problem
Lawyers worked on several cases at once, logging hours in notebooks or simply “remembering” them. At the end of the month, someone had to turn that into invoices — meaning guessing how much time went into each case. Some hours were simply lost.
A client asking “what exactly am I paying for?” got an answer pieced together from emails and notes.
What we built
A dashboard where logging time takes less time than making coffee: choose a client, case and task, and you’re done. The system calculates the rest.
- Time entries linked to a client, case and task.
- Billing dashboard: hours automatically turn into invoice amounts.
- Monthly and quarterly reports for each client.
- Team view: who’s working on what and how much it costs.
Efekt
Today, 100% of hours are logged, and invoicing for the entire month takes just one afternoon. No hours get lost, so invoice totals have gone up — without raising rates.
Clients get a clear breakdown, so questions like “what’s this charge for?” have virtually disappeared.
„I log hours as I go, with one click, and at the end of the month the invoices create themselves.”
