Time capture specialist Rekoop has continued its run of success, with its fourth top tier win in a matter of weeks. Top 50 law firm Gateley has just completed a pilot phase ahead of a full roll-out to some 375 lawyers across its six English offices, integrating with its Elite Envision PMS.

The project will see the deployment of Rekoop Desktop, the primary time recording interface; Rekoop Digital Footprint, which monitors activity in the background and helps construct timesheets automatically; Rekoop for mobile, enabling the seamless recording of time on the move across both iOS and BlackBerry; and a bespoke telephony interface, thereby allowing all call times to be logged.  

Neil Smith, Gateley’s Finance Director, comments: “From the outset, the Rekoop software looked and felt impressive.  The pleasant surprise during the trial was that we were provided with a product that surpassed all expectations.  The team at Rekoop didn't shy away from the difficult questions or their own belief in what they were delivering.  This is the start of what I hope will be a long and fruitful working relationship between Rekoop and Gateley.

“As a national law firm with a strong regional emphasis, we recognise that it is important to have the best quality data upon which to base our business decisions.  Rekoop gives us 360° visibility of activity and performance amongst fee-earners, providing much more reliable benchmarking for KPIs and a sound platform for business intelligence and management information. 

"Time capture used to be viewed very much as a one dimensional ‘record more, bill more’ tool. But today’s data needs to be much more sophisticated than that.  We are using technology more than ever before.  A time recording system fully integrated into all of our technologies enhances our data.  However you’re working and whatever billing model you’re adopting, time is still the basic unit of cost; it has never been as important for us and our clients to know what each task costs. 

“We see Rekoop as a key performance measurement solution.  The fact that it’s such a light touch, intuitive technology from the user perspective means it will fit seamlessly into our existing systems.”
