Professional Services
AI automation for law firms, consulting agencies, and accounting practices—streamlining project management, client onboarding, proposal generation, time tracking, and billing to increase billable utilization by 20% or more.
Industry Overview
How Ecomsol solves ecommerce challenges in this industry
Professional services firms—law firms, management consultancies, accounting practices, and engineering firms—sell expertise and time, making operational efficiency directly tied to revenue. According to the Service Performance Insight (SPI) 2024 Professional Services Benchmark, the average billable utilization rate across professional services is just 68%, meaning nearly one-third of available staff time is consumed by non-billable administrative tasks: proposal writing, time tracking, invoice generation, client onboarding paperwork, and project status reporting. Ecomsol builds AI automation solutions that reclaim these lost hours and convert them into billable revenue.
Our professional services automation platform starts with client onboarding—typically one of the most document-intensive processes. AI-powered document processing extracts data from engagement letters, NDAs, conflict checks, and client intake forms, auto-populating your practice management system (Clio, PracticePanther, Mavenlink, or custom CRM). For law firms, our conflict check automation screens new matters against your entire client database in minutes rather than hours. Onboarding automation reduces new client setup time by 65%, getting engagements started faster.
Proposal and statement of work generation uses large language models trained on your firm's past proposals, pricing models, and service descriptions to produce first drafts in minutes. Partners and directors review and refine AI-generated proposals rather than writing from scratch, reducing proposal turnaround from 5 days to under 24 hours. Time tracking automation uses AI to analyze calendar events, email activity, document editing logs, and project management entries to suggest time entries—addressing the industry problem of under-recording, which the American Bar Association estimates costs law firms 10-15% of potential billings annually. Billing automation validates time entries, applies rate cards and fee arrangements, and generates invoices through QuickBooks, Xero, or your ERP system with one-click approval workflows.
