DPS Software Ltd

The legal billing software designed by DPS Software has been created to make your life that much simpler, and has been developed over a period of 30 years. It works from the time record, when the fee earner records time it is automatically added to the right claim form which then posts bills to the accounts. There is then a receipts module which automatically receipts each bill. When you create a letter, an attendance note, or send an email, you are prompted for your time by the system. Nothing is missed out, so all time is automatically billed. Time can also be recorded in real time as the work is carried out or added to the screen manually if required. Read more dpssoftware.co.uk

There are certain things which are also considered “must have” and these should be incorporated into any software you choose. One important feature is time tracking no matter where you happen to be at any given moment. This means that the software must have the ability to t...

If you have been browsing the internet looking for law practice management software you will have noticed that there is a lot of choice. Every software firm is out there telling you that theirs’ is the best solution and giving you a lot of reasons why you should buy their product.
