iTimeKeep-Thrive helps law firms to implement, enforce, and measure their time entry policy in a reliable and consistent manner without relying on the subjectivity of human nature
(PRWEB) August 07, 2017
PITTSBURGH, PA August 7, 2017 – Bellefield Systems, LLC, the leader in mobile and anywhere time entry solutions for firms of all sizes, unveiled a first-of-its-kind automated time entry policy management solution, iTimeKeep-Thrive, this morning.
“Creating a time entry policy is only half the battle,” according to Gabriela Isturiz, President and Co-Founder of Bellefield Systems. “Ensuring the policy is accessible and easy to monitor is just as important. With this new tool, firms can develop their policy, quickly identify trends, and interact with timekeepers to drive positive habits.”
iTimeKeep-Thrive is based on Bellefield’s trademarked algorithm, which identifies the compliance or non-compliance of individual attorneys and the firm as a whole. With a simple but informative dashboard, firm executives can see month by month how the firm is performing in compliance with the firm’s time entry policy.
Said Isturiz, “We’re changing the game with this new solution. iTimeKeep-Thrive helps law firms to implement, enforce, and measure their time entry policy in a reliable and consistent manner without relying on the subjectivity of human nature.”
According to Bellefield’s 2016 survey, 42% of firms with a time entry policy don’t enforce the policy. This is oftentimes due to the manual and subjective nature of enforcement. Isturiz further stated, “With iTimeKeep-Thrive, firm management has a dashboard where they can see how the firm and individuals are performing when it comes to compliance with the firm’s time entry policy, which gives them immediate insight into metrics that can directly impact the firm’s bottom line.”

Time velocity (the amount of time between work performed and that time being entered into the time and billing system) can cost firms in terms of lost hours when time records are recreated days or weeks after the fact. Part of Bellefield’s new solution shows an up-to-the-moment graph of a firm’s time velocity.
Bellefield has been nominated for Innovative Solution Provider of the Year by the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) based on the new iTimeKeep-Thrive solution. According to Isturiz, “We work hard to help every user become a better timekeeper, and we work hard to help every firm see amazing results. To be recognized for our innovative work just makes us that much more committed to being the best time entry/timekeeping partner we can be to the legal industry.”
