1. Start with the Franklin workflow, not a software category
Franklin is recorded as a municipality in Venango County, Pennsylvania, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 5,984 and a margin of error of 24. That geographic fact helps define the service area for this page; it does not establish demand, case volume, competition, or a need for custom software. Your decision should begin inside the firm: identify the work that repeatedly crosses people, systems, or approval points. Examples include entering an inquiry in more than one place, checking a matter status before answering a client, or maintaining a referral record outside the systems your team already uses.
Recommended approach
Write down one process that staff perform frequently and describe it in ordinary language. Note who starts it, what information they need, which system is authoritative, where a handoff occurs, and what happens when information is missing. A narrow problem is easier to evaluate than a request for a broad new platform.
