Continuing its sustained run of success in the top tier, time capture specialist Rekoop has announced the signing of FBC Manby Bowdler. The Midlands firm is rolling out Rekoop to 110+ fee earners across its six offices, integrating with Advanced Legal’s new Advanced 365 hosted 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; and Rekoop for mobile, enabling the seamless recording of time on the move. 

Kim Carr, FBC Manby Bowdler’s managing partner, explains why the firm opted for Rekoop: “We have fee earners in the office from 7am to 7pm and we need complete visibility on how that time is being spent. Minimising leakage and maximising profitability is just part of the story, it’s also about taking this more complete, more accurate input and output picture and using it to support better decision-making. Every day we’re looking at resourcing, budgeting and planning and the improved data capture and enhanced narrative across the firm gives us a wealth of new insight. The bonus of the Rekoop solution is that it delivers so much at the management information end without putting any stress on the users – it’s a very light touch application that caters for all time recording tastes, and it certainly has the potential to become as effortlessly embedded in the firm as, say, Outlook.” 

Phil Wedgwood, Rekoop’s chief executive, comments: “We have been winning deals consistently for the past three years now, but the last year in particular has seen a real surge in adoption of dedicated time recording solutions. More and more firms are recognising the need for clarity and granularity when it comes to recordable time, not just from a billing and collections perspective, but also a business intelligence one. Where Rekoop comes in is in having the functionality and usability that appeals sufficiently to users for them to willingly drive a more positive, progressive approach to time capture.”
