How it Works

The eBillingHub connects directly to your time and billing system as well as your client’s ebilling vendors. As a result it can help you manage the key aspects of the eBilling process, but in a much better and simpler way than the manual mode most law firms do their work today.

By providing a singe web interface for all access to all the electronic bills, submission can be completed easily and simply, and from this one screen.

Errors are eliminated through the eBillingHub’s ‘trial posting’ function that highlights errors before they are actually submitted, saving you time and money, so you don’t have to wait for the information from various vendor portals.

Your e-Billing process... today...

Every step of your existing e-billing process can be improved with the eBillingHub. Some steps can be eliminated as well. To process a single bill today you would typically follow the following export/import process:

• 1) Export the bill from your Time and Billing system into a LEDES98B file (or a different format as requested by your clients)



• 2) Open up the file in Notepad to visually check whether it meets your client's instructions (and make manual edits to the file if necessary)



• 3) Browse to the e-Billing Vendor's website, log in, and navigate to the file upload page



• 4) Import the bill by attaching and uploading the LEDES98B file



• 5) If the file is accepted, collect and print the tracking number and the day and time of the upload for future reference.



• 6) If the file is rejected, you would fix the errors and start again from step 1

You would repeat this process for the next invoice, except that in each case the export format, the website, and the import process will be different depending on your client requirements.

But with the eBillingHub...

In contrast, the eBillingHub does not require export/import operations. By integrating with your firm's accounting system and working together with the e-billing vendors you are using use today the eBillinghub is the first e-billing solution for law firms that integrates and automates all the steps required to process electronic invoices. This allows law firms to radically improve the way in which they process their electronic invoices. Compare the process depicted above against the process made possible by the eBillingHub:

• 1) Run our Billing Wizard and select which invoices you would like to process at this time (you can easily select a batch with hundredths of invoices at a time)
• 2) Press the "Submit" button
• 3) If any of the invoices is rejected, fix the errors and start from step 1

That's all there is to it! The Billing Wizard processes the batch automatically, uploads each invoice to the appropriate e-billing vendor, while at the same time logging and tracking every transaction. By simplifying the process and automating the steps the eBillingHub allows your firm to process thousands of e-bills in less time that it takes you to do a few invoices today. Your bills will get out faster and more accurately than ever before!

On top of that, upload confirmations are centralized and available to both your Billing Department and your Collections Department. You will no longer send duplicate invoices, fail to upload a bill, fail to follow up on a rejection, or make a collection call for an invoice that was never delivered. That's the eBillingHub way.
