Timekeeping isn’t just another administrative task; it’s the lifeblood of your firm’s revenue and a true reflection of your tech maturity. The tools you use tell a story: one of innovation, efficiency, and growth or one of stagnation, frustration, and lost revenue.

Let’s take a look at how far the industry has come.

Legacy Interface

Manual. Rigid. Error-prone.

These systems require constant effort, demand patience, and often result in lost opportunities. Every missed time entry equals lost revenue. Every frustrated user is a potential flight risk.

Legacy tools were built for a different era—one where lawyers bent to the system, rather than the system bending to them.

Modern Web Interface

Intuitive. Fast. Matteroom’s modern interface reflects how lawyers actually work. Recent matters are auto-suggested, timers run effortlessly, and the design feels natural so users want to use it.

This is timekeeping evolved: a tool that integrates into the rhythm of your day rather than interrupting it.

Passive Time Capture

AI captures everything. You curate.

No more guesswork, no more missed billing, no more frustration. With MIRA, every interaction is tracked, analyzed, and suggested, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. This is how firms recover lost revenue and how the tool pays for itself.

Why It Matters

- Attract Top Talent: Modern professionals expect modern tools. Don’t lose your best people to outdated systems.

- Boost Productivity: Less friction = more time billed.

- Drive Realization: Capture what’s actually worked, not just what’s remembered.

If your timekeeping tool isn’t helping you recover what’s already earned, it’s not a tool—it’s a liability. Technology should empower your people, not exhaust them. It should make revenue recovery effortless—not an afterthought.
