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.
