Which Billing Systems Does Ajax Work With?
Every firm evaluating a timekeeping tool hits the same moment: someone on the billing side asks the question that can end the conversation early, does it work with the system we already have? It's the right question, because a tool that can't get time into your billing system just makes more work. So here's the direct answer for Ajax. Released entries flow through direct integrations into Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, SurePoint, Filevine, Centerbase, and Soluno, and Ajax is compatible with most other billing systems as well.
That's the current list. The rest of this page covers what "works with" actually buys you, since the phrase gets used loosely, and what to do if the system you run isn't named above.
What "direct integration" means here
A direct integration runs in two directions, and each direction does a specific job.
The first brings your clients and matters from the billing system into Ajax. This is what makes prediction useful. When Ajax reads a morning of email and document edits and decides the work belongs to a particular matter, it's pointing at a real matter number in your system, the same one your billers use, so nobody has to fix a free-text guess later. Ajax gets that match right about 92% of the time, and it improves as it learns which people, documents, and topics belong to which matters at your firm. The payoff shows up at review time, when entries arrive already coded to the right client and matter and the lawyer can read through them quickly.
The second direction sends time back out. Once a lawyer reviews the day and releases entries, those entries write into the billing system and land where your billers already look, in the same place your team already stages time before an invoice goes out.
That's the part firms tend to underestimate: your pre-bill process doesn't have to change. Whoever runs your pre-bills works from the same screen and sends the same invoices they always have. Ajax fills the entries in ahead of them, instead of asking your attorneys to.
If your system isn't on the list
The seven named systems are the ones with direct integrations today, but they aren't the whole story. Ajax is compatible with most other billing systems as well, and most cloud-based practice management systems are workable.
So for a system that isn't listed, the answer is usually "probably." A system being unlisted often just means we haven't been asked about it yet. What matters is whether your system is cloud-based and how it lets outside tools connect to it. Tell us what you run and we'll tell you where it stands, usually inside a single call.
Why Ajax integrates instead of replacing your billing system
Ajax is not a billing system, and it isn't trying to become one. It sits on top of the billing system you already run. Your matters, your rates, your invoices, your trust accounting, and your reports all stay exactly where they are.
What Ajax adds is the layer most firms still fill by hand: the capture and drafting of time. Ajax watches the work happen, groups related activity, predicts the matter, drafts the narrative in the lawyer's voice, and hands over entries to review. Then it puts those approved entries into the system you already bill from. From your billing system's point of view, the time simply shows up, complete and ready for the same review as everything else.
There's a practical reason to build it this way. A firm's billing system is wired into how the whole place runs, from how trust funds are handled to how partners read their numbers. Asking a firm to tear that out to gain better time capture is a bad trade, and most firms would rightly refuse. Sitting on top means a firm can try Ajax without touching the plumbing that runs the rest of the practice.

FAQ
What if my billing system isn't listed?
There's a good chance Ajax still works with it. Most cloud-based billing systems are workable even when they aren't named here, since Ajax is compatible with most other billing systems as well. Tell us what you run and we'll confirm where it stands.
How does time get from Ajax into our billing system?
Each lawyer reviews their drafted entries in Ajax and releases the ones they want to bill. Released entries write into your billing system coded to the right client and matter, so they land in the same place your team already stages time before invoices go out.
Do we have to change our pre-bill process?
No. Whoever runs your pre-bills keeps working from the same screens and sending the same invoices they always have. Ajax fills entries in ahead of them, so the change your billing team notices is fuller timesheets arriving sooner.
Does Ajax replace my billing system?
No. Ajax sits on top of your billing system rather than replacing it. It captures the work and drafts the time, then sends released entries into the system you already use to bill, so your matters, invoicing, and reporting stay exactly where they are.
