Description

ALB AI is an advanced system designed to assist law firms in optimizing their billing processes and significantly improving revenue. The platform leverages a sophisticated AI algorithm to meticulously cleanse attorneys' time entries, ensuring strict adherence to each client’s specific billing guidelines, also known as Outside Counsel Guidelines (OCGs). This proactive compliance strategy effectively minimizes e-billing rejections and financial reductions, thereby saving valuable billable hours that would otherwise be consumed by tedious invoice appeals and corrections.

By fostering accuracy and compliance from the initial time entry, ALB AI empowers firms to increase their revenue realization and enhance cash flow through expedited payment cycles. The system is engineered to seamlessly integrate with a firm's existing billing and accounting platforms, meaning there is no need to replace current software. Instead, ALB AI augments these systems by customizing its artificial intelligence with each client's unique billing rules, delivering a tailored solution for robust OCG compliance and more efficient invoice management.
