Start with the bottleneck, not the platform
Off-the-shelf legal software is designed for an average workflow. Your firm may instead have a recurring task that sits between intake, case work and administration: re-entering information, checking a shared inbox, updating status manually or maintaining a referral record in a spreadsheet. Custom Software is appropriate when the operational problem is specific enough that a general product leaves important work outside the system. Bosseo’s published product information describes client portals, intake tools and internal dashboards as possible build types. It also frames the first conversation around describing the problem in plain English rather than preparing a technical requirements document.
Recommended approach
Bring one process that staff repeatedly perform by hand. Describe who touches it, where it stalls, what information is copied and what the next person needs. Ask Bosseo to determine whether a custom build is justified or whether an existing product is the better answer.
