Rook Irwin Sweeney decided that an electronic bundling system would be an ideal investment to support this process. They chose Zylpha as it was recommended and worked well with the Practice’s LEAP case management system.

The solution

As Partner Anne-Marie Irwin says,

“We needed a system that worked with our existing LEAP case management tool, that was both easy to use but was also capable of producing professional, court-compliant bundles right across our business. Zylpha was recommended and works well with LEAP. Notably, it is fast, powerful, incredibly user friendly and is available on a highly cost-effective Pay As You Go basis.”

Streamlined approach

Zylpha’s digital software contained everything that Rook Irwin Sweeny needed to create the highest quality document bundles.

In addition to delivering time savings of over 80% over traditional manual bundling alternatives, Zylpha’s system also eliminates costs such as stationery, photocopying, paper file storage, and courier costs.
