What’s inside MR8

MR8 handles your important business tasks, such as order processing and billing, in a flexible, interconnected environment that includes a complete set of professional-looking legal forms downloadable PDF (with a built-in word processor), and a central repository, so you no longer have to keep hard copies of important information. Plus it handles order tracking, receivables, collections, payables and business tracking and forecasting, with a full range of reports from work load to cash flow to profitability.

MR8 comes with everything most records retrieval and process serving firms need to manage their business built in. It is a turn-key system, but customizable so you can tailor it to your business and the specific services you offer. And MR8 is HIPAA-compliant, with protections that include security access controls, required information fields and standardized forms.

The MR8 system is scalable: From a one-person shop to a company with offices around the country, MR8 handles your business and can grow with you. And since you pay for it on a month-to-month basis, you can control your overhead expenses.

You can choose to host your MR8 on your own equipment in-house or in the cloud, eliminating the need for your own server, data storage, and IT staff.

You can also add optional plug-ins to extend MR8's functionality, such as online offices so clients can check current order status, order records, download files and invoices over the internet.
