Each case has a structured record with a matter number, lifecycle status, assigned counsel, and activity history. Teams can attach, organize, and retrieve documents, using role-based access for sensitive files. Work tools assign tasks, set deadlines, prioritize urgency, and track completion. Internal messaging, case notes, and shared activity feeds support collaboration. CASEMATA records billable transactions per case, generates invoices, and monitors payment status. Case, financial, and productivity reports can be exported as PDF, Excel, or CSV. The homepage states that the service is ISO 27001 certified, encrypts data end-to-end, offers a 99.9% uptime SLA, and is hosted in Africa.
