Mitratech Collaborati

When month-end hits, you need bills out, accepted, and paid. Collaborati gives you a repeatable path. Start by importing LEDES files or building an e-bill from approved time and expense entries. As you assemble the packet, built-in checks flag guideline conflicts, missing UTBMS codes, inactive matters, or tax/VAT issues before submission. Attach supporting documents, map PO numbers, confirm currency, and send to each client’s portal in one place. Real-time status updates show received, under review, adjustments, and payment timing, so you can chase fewer emails. If a line is reduced, add comments, attach evidence, and resubmit with a clean audit trail.

Keep rate changes organized across clients with centralized timekeeper profiles. Add new timekeepers once, propose rates by client or matter, and set effective dates. Collaborati logs proposals and counteroffers so your team sees exactly what was agreed without digging through inboxes. Support blended rates, caps, discounts, and other alternative fee arrangements while keeping each client’s staffing rules in view. When approvals land, the accepted rates flow directly into future submissions, eliminating rekeying and cutting down on preventable rejections.

Plan work and spend together with shared budgets and accruals. Build budgets by phase, task, or month; set alerts as you approach thresholds; and preview the impact of upcoming time before you send the bill. Upload accruals on a schedule—weekly or monthly—so clients always see expected liability. Collaborati highlights forecast vs. actuals, helping partners adjust staffing or scope early. During close, auto-reminders prompt contributors to submit accruals, and locked versions preserve what was reported to finance.

Turn your billing data into action. Dashboards surface realization, write-offs by reason, cycle times, and client-specific rule triggers, helping you refine narratives and coding to reduce friction next month. Export results to spreadsheets or push them to your firm’s finance system by API or SFTP. Single sign-on, granular permissions, and complete history make audits straightforward. And because Collaborati sits within Mitratech’s broader platform, you can connect matter intake, automated approvals, policy updates, and records controls into a single legal operations workflow—so the same system that gets your bills paid also keeps your processes consistent and compliant.
