Top Tip #7 – Setting Katchr Targets

Targeting performance in most law firms tends to be limited to Fees Delivered, Fees Received and Time Chargeable and as a result the majority of Practice Management Systems only provide the facility to store targets for these measures.

Katchr supports a wide range of targets to enable comparison of performance against expectations for a wide variety of measures. The following targets are currently supported:
