7 Benefits of Technology in Process Delivery Services
In today’s fast-paced world, technology has permeated almost every aspect of our lives, and the legal industry is no exception. At Accurate Serve® of Charlotte, we leverage cutting-edge technology to enhance our process delivery services, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and security. Here are seven key benefits of incorporating technology into process delivery services.
Speed and Efficiency
The use of technology allows for quicker dissemination of legal documents. Digital platforms enable process servers to receive assignments in real time, cutting down the time it takes to initiate the process. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(e) allows for electronic service of process, making it easier and faster to serve documents. However, electronic service may need to be permitted by a judge before implementation, so state laws should also be considered.
Real-Time Tracking
GPS technology allows for real-time tracking of process servers, ensuring that documents are served promptly and at the correct location. This adds an extra layer of accountability and transparency to the process.
Enhanced Security
Digital encryption and secure servers ensure that sensitive legal documents are protected from unauthorized access. This is in line with federal laws governing the confidentiality and security of legal documents.
Automated Record-Keeping
Technology allows for automated record-keeping, making it easier to track past services and maintain a detailed history of all activities. This is particularly useful for legal compliance and auditing purposes. This is also the backbone of Accurate Serve of Charlotte’s online Case Status Tracker, available for all of our clients 24/7 right on our website. In the Status Tracker, clients can view exactly where we are on all of their process service requests.
Improved Communication
Digital platforms facilitate better communication between legal firms and process servers. Instant messaging and notifications ensure that any changes or updates are immediately communicated, reducing the likelihood of errors. There is also a date and time-stamped record of all communications between two parties when electronic means are used, which is great for audit purposes or if information is contested.
Cost-Effectiveness
The use of technology can significantly reduce operational costs. Digital document management eliminates the need for physical storage, including records rooms or storage units, and automated systems reduce the manpower required for administrative tasks.
Legal Compliance
Technology makes it easier to adhere to federal and state laws governing process serving. For example, electronic logs can be maintained to prove that the service was executed in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §1A-1, Rule 4, or the corresponding laws in South Carolina.
