PushCap
The Workload Management App for Law Firms
PushCap - with only 5 seconds of input from every lawyer a day - makes the workload transparent and helps steering work
towards those with the most capacity.
Make your workload transparent and find capacities.
The app uses a simple color-scheme to display daily and weekly availability and optional notes. It relies on all employees updating their status daily.
Employees can activate an "absence mode" that positions them at the bottom of the list and displays their status accordingly
Filter the list by team, expertise and location to have direct access to the right people.
Users are notified on all important and upcoming events, including reminders to enter and update their availability.
For urgent support, users can switch on the "panic mode" that highlights their entry and positions them at the top of the list.
Understand your firm’s daily availability and derive insights from historical trends.
Users can edit their weekly availability and share it with their colleagues. The app uses a simple color-scheme that allows for higher degree of visibility, as well as facilitates the search for colleagues with more capacity on a given day.
The so-called "panic mode" can be switched on by employees who feel overwhelmed by their workload and are in urgent need of support from their colleagues. The app then highlights their entry and places the user at the top of the list.
Notes can be attached to communicate details beyond availability. This can include messages like e.g. "In a meeting from 2-4 p.m", or "On vacation until the 23rd of June". Additionally users can choose to turn on the "absent mode", or also use the color-coded framework to be displayed as "on vacation".

For me as a partner it is of high importance to have a clear overview of the availability of all lawyers at all times. PushCap makes it possible to spread work fairly and identify unused capacity quickly and easily.
The assignment of tasks based solely on luck is over. The Pushcap app helps our team leaders to see the workload in their teams at a glance and to distribute the work fairly. Tasks are no longer assigned to people randomly, but to those who really have free capacities. If, on the other hand, you are already overwhelmed by work, you can easily ask your colleagues for support. The app encourages team spirit and is very easy to use. A real help - day by day!
For us, at Pusch Wahlig Legal, it is crucial to manage our resources well. It helps us increasing our profitability. But it also reflects our collaborative firm culture in which we aim at supporting each other and allocating our work in a fair and transparent manner. A lot of people talk about the Panic Button, although it is not often used. But it gives people peace of mind to know that they could push the button if needed. The app creates most value through its simplicity. It takes about five seconds to update your status, but the whole organization has everybody’s capacity at their fingertips.
We are a fast-growing law firm with three locations. Using efficient, tech-enabled tools is a priority for the collaboration of our lawyers and tax advisors across offices and teams. That’s why we are pleased to be able to manage and coordinate internal capacities simply and digitally with the PushCap app.
