Rechtshulp Zekerheid

Real-Time Internal Legal Services System & Workflow Automation for Car Dealers in the Netherlands

Rechtshulp Zekerheid, a legal consultancy firm for automotive dealers in the Netherlands, partnered with ExcloLab to replace fragmented manual workflows with a centralized, scalable digital system.

Manual processes for dealer registration, vehicle claims, and subscription management posed operational risks and limited business scalability.

ExcloLab designed and implemented a secure, automated legal platform, enhancing client onboarding, case management, subscription monitoring, and legal claims through a modern real-time interface.

ExcloLab’s End-to-End Approach

Business Process Mapping

We mapped client onboarding, vehicle tracking, subscription payments, and legal claims processes to identify automation opportunities.

System Architecture Design & Platform Development

We designed a modular service-based platform with tight API integration, real-time validation, and scalable client self-service features.

Optimization & New Features

  • Web-Based Client & Case Management System: A centralized portal to manage dealers, vehicle data, warranty claims, and legal issues, all connected in a single digital workflow.

  • WooCommerce Integration: Automatic synchronization of online purchases (subscriptions) to the internal case management workflow, eliminating manual data entry.

  • Dealer & Admin Dashboards: Dedicated dealer dashboards for self-service (checking subscriptions, claims, and data updates) and comprehensive management views for admin teams.

  • RDW API Integration: Automatic vehicle data population based on license plates, reducing input errors and speeding up registration.

  • Automated Subscription Monitoring: A background job system monitors subscription status, sends expiry alerts, and manages insurance periods automatically.

  • Auto-Notification System: Real-time notifications via email and dashboard alerts for claim status updates, payment information, and subscription renewals.

  • Analytics Dashboard: An insights dashboard to monitor case loads, subscription health, and client behavior patterns, aiding strategic decision-making.
