Oddr, provider of the first invoice to cash management platform built specifically for law firms, today announced that it has achieved significant milestones on its mission to enable firms to more effectively execute this critical business process.

An Acute Problem Meets the “A-Team” of LegalTech Innovation

Today, law firms face tremendous challenges efficiently managing the client bill-to-collections lifecycle. Through assessments and discovery, working with over 80 law firm advisors, the Oddr team identified several common pain points:

• Preparing bills is painful
• Delivering bills is daunting
• Collections are challenging
• Reconciliations add onerous overhead
• Process visibility is limited and obscured

The Oddr team — legal technology veterans who played leadership roles in building category-defining business intake, conflicts, time entry, information security, and financial management products — is changing this equation.

Oddr offers the industry’s first invoice to collections management platform. It centralizes, streamlines, and accelerates every step of this lifecycle — from bill creation, to bill delivery, to collections, to reconciliation. In doing so, it enables new possibilities in analytics, forecasting, and client service.

Designed to address the specific challenges, business processes, and operational needs of law firms, Oddr works with and integrates existing, internal firm “point solutions” (e.g. FMS, bill creation, e-billing tools).

The Proof is in the Profit — Customer Adoption, Customer Success

Delivered via a true cloud model, with implementation timetables measured in weeks, Oddr is experiencing enthusiastic customer adoption and fantastic feedback:
