Challenge 1: Managing cases across multiple forums
Before adopting Provakil, Shastri & Shastri Associates faced significant challenges in managing cases across various forums across Karnataka. The firm's case management required a sophisticated system to handle a diverse caseload categorized by type and year, ensuring meticulous tracking and organization. The lack of automated systems led to difficulties in sorting and organizing hearings efficiently, resulting in time-consuming searches for information on specific cases.
Solution 1: Advanced metric cards for case management
Provakil’s metric cards have profoundly transformed the firm’s approach to case management. Each case is now systematically labeled and segregated by type and year, providing a comprehensive view of case statuses and details. The use of customizable filters in the causelist management feature has helped the firm efficiently sort and organize hearings, significantly reducing the time spent searching for specific cases. Additionally, this feature has improved the accuracy and visibility of important case details, such as upcoming court dates, client notifications, and document submission deadlines, ensuring no critical information is overlooked.
Challenge 2: Time management and administrative efficiency
Shastri & Shastri Associates recognized the potential to enhance their operational efficiency by optimizing their administrative processes. The firm was committed to maintaining its high standards of client service but found that manual processes for resource planning and task management were time-intensive. These processes, while effective, left room for improvement in terms of efficiency and productivity. To further elevate their practice, the firm sought a solution that would automate routine administrative tasks, enabling their team to focus more on strategic legal work and deliver even greater value to their clients.

Additionally, Provakil has till now automated 25% of the firm's administrative tasks and is in the process of further streamlining its operations.
Challenge 3: Integration with third-party tools
Shastri & Shastri Associates sought to enhance their management of scheduling and task reminders, which are key components of effective case management. While effective, these systems occasionally led to missed reminders and utilized time that could have been redirected to strategic legal work. These challenges made it more difficult to stay organized and meet critical deadlines. Additionally, the firm recognized the need for stronger digital security measures to protect the confidentiality of sensitive case-related documents.
Solution 3: Enhanced integration with Google Calendar and other tools
Provakil’s integration with Google Calendar, Drive, and other essential tools, has provided Shastri & Shastri Associates with a comprehensive solution to their scheduling and task management challenges.
