Our team leaders are more focused on the performance of their team as a result of Katchr. They have the information in front of them that allows them to make those decisions, and also feel confident enough to challenge and recognise the performance of their team members.
Tim Sarson, COO, Birketts

The product I think is fantastic. It takes the information that we all have in different systems, and it turns it into a format that both a management team and also all our lawyers can use, and help them to improve their performance, and the performance of the firm. In a sense, even more than that, I would focus on the people. The relationships, the fact that Katchr want to work with us to improve our business, but also to improve their business, to develop their products.
Ralph Gilbert, Managing Partner, Rollits

Katchr is now a given. It is the way in which we, as a firm, understand our performance, and the way which we appraise and manage our teams.

I think one other area Katchr really shines – they’ve recently introduced some new pricing dashboards which give you the ability to analyse your previous set of matters. You can dig down by work type or type of matter, different teams, departments, different lawyers, and get an understanding of where you priced matters previously, actually what the costs ended up in the end, the profitability of those matters.
Tony Woodhouse, Partner & Head of Information Technology, Brethertons

Katchr saved me time, and it has made the information more meaningful to people. They can see why we’ve been talking about certain figures and they can see how it all relates together.
Julie Jewers, Former Director, Berwins Solicitors

Katchr has improved performance. People can see what we're measuring, and the difference that their behaviours make to the figures that come out. So it's not just about presenting information in a different format, it actually changes behaviour.

Brian Evans, Managing Partner, Lanyon Bowdler

The profit and loss dashboards are fantastic. It's a real-time look at where we are. It can be granular into fee earner. It can be department level, or it can be whole of firm. We use Katchr across the business, so all fee earners have access to their personal dashboard, and effectively their P&L.
Bob Bastian, CEO, Stephen Rimmer

Our in-house accountant used to produce 50, a hundred pages for each partner at meetings to be able to tell us where we are. Katchr gives us all that information on the screen the next financial day.

It's enabled us to start empowering them to engage with the numbers directly and drive their own performance.
Alice Ketley, Financial Controller, Cripps

I've been doing this job for over 25 years, and I have never until now had a product that I can rely on and use for accessible information to monitor the KPIs, day-to-day management of the firm and to also support others in the firm when they're looking at their progress and how they're doing.
Amanda Hayward, Director of Operations, Dean Wilson

Having the information to hand that I didn't have before, and just being able to look something up without having to trawl through a computer system that just can't generate the information that you need.

Katchr took the time to understand our requirements … All of the Katchr team are a delight to work with, even though we can be quite demanding at times.
Vin Chauhan, Former IT Director, Brady Solicitors

To have that information at your fingertips, whenever you want it has been absolutely invaluable … It’s enabled every fee earner in the business to understand where they are at any moment in time, in terms of their individual performance towards their KPIs, and that has been really eye-opening.
Paul Blake, CEO, DQ Advocates

Anthony Elston, Finance Director, Ridley & Hall

We've reviewed a lot of different MI reporting tools and we've found that Katchr really is the best in breed. It's well supported by a good team. If you give them a field, they will be able to pull that data from that field within the case management system and report on it. The dashboards are very user friendly, easy to manage from a fee earner level right up to partner level and it's just a very good tool.
Grant Sanders, Partner Practice Manager, Stephen Rimmer

We go through with the partners where they are at. The partners then go on to run one-to-ones with individual lawyers who can see, on the screen, exactly where they might be underperforming and what other help they might need.
