A document-heavy file where one missing page restarts everything
Immigration work is evidence, deadlines and volume. Writford keeps every document on the matter, the deadlines with the firm, and lets you ask the file a question instead of reading it again.
What should immigration case management software do?
It should hold a large volume of evidence against the matter, keep application deadlines with the firm rather than one caseworker, and let you find something in the file without reading all of it. Writford does all three, with AI questions answered from the uploaded documents.
- Can I import a client's documents in bulk?
- Yes, directly from OneDrive, Google Drive or Shared Drives, including nested folder structure, without downloading and re-uploading by hand.
- Can AI answer questions about the evidence?
- Yes. Ask anything about an uploaded document and the answer points back to the passage it came from, which is quicker than reading the whole file again.
- How are Home Office deadlines tracked?
- As key dates on the matter, so they belong to the firm rather than one caseworker, with two-way Outlook sync.
- Does it work for fixed-fee matters?
- Yes. Disbursements, billing and the aged debtors position are on the same record, whether the matter is billed hourly or at a fixed fee.
- Is there a limit on file storage?
- Storage is pooled across the firm rather than per person, and the plan sets the total. You can see usage before you hit it.
Every document on the matter
Passports, payslips, tenancy agreements, letters of support. Files are attached to the matter with their folder structure intact, and can be imported straight from OneDrive or Google Drive rather than downloaded and re-uploaded.
Ask the file rather than re-read it
Upload the evidence and ask what is in it. The answer points back to the document and passage it came from, which is faster than opening forty PDFs to find one date.
Deadlines the firm holds
Application and appeal deadlines are key dates on the matter, not diary entries, so they survive a caseworker being away and sync to Outlook both ways.
Fee-per-matter work still needs the numbers
Fixed-fee immigration work still incurs disbursements and still has to be billed and collected. Time, costs and the aged debtors position sit on the same record.
