We connect your systems so that processes run instead of getting stuck
DATEV, M365, DMS, beA, intake forms - your tools already exist. What is missing is the connection between them. We integrate your existing systems into seamless workflows so that handoffs, document requests, and follow-ups happen automatically instead of manually.
For firms where the tools are there but the processes between them are still manual.
Your tools work. The connections don't.
Three patterns we see in every firm.
Your firm does not need another tool. It needs the existing tools to finally work together.
We connect DATEV, M365, DMS, and intake systems into end-to-end workflows - so that data flows once, handoffs are clear, and nobody chases status by email anymore.
Where manual work is hiding in your firm
These patterns cost time every day - not because tools are missing, but because they are not connected.
Same data, entered three times
Client data moves by copy-paste from email to DMS to DATEV. Each system has its own version - none is reliably up to date.
Systems side by side, not connected
M365, DATEV, DMS, and beA run in parallel, but the bridge between them is manual: forwarding, spreadsheets, follow-up emails.
Follow-ups depend on individuals
Whether documents get requested, deadlines tracked, or clients updated depends on whether one specific person remembers.
Nobody sees the full status
Which case is waiting for what? What is missing, what is overdue? Without cross-system visibility, idle time and back-and-forth grow.
What changes when systems are connected
No new platform. Just the right connections between the systems you already use.
Connect systems instead of replacing them
DATEV, M365, DMS, and beA stay. We build the missing bridges between them so data arrives automatically where it is needed.
Automatic handoffs and follow-ups
Document requests, deadline reminders, and status changes run by rules - no longer dependent on memory or individuals.
One status view across all systems
Who is waiting for what, what is missing, what is overdue? One shared view instead of follow-up questions in five directions.
On your existing stack, not beside it
No new portal, no new platform. Automation runs on your M365, DATEV, RA-MICRO, or beA - self-hosted and GDPR-compliant.
Where we connect your systems
Every firm has different systems - but the breaks between them look the same everywhere. These are the three areas where integration has the biggest impact.
Intake and routing
For firms where promising matters are answered too slowly, routed to the wrong place, or left without a clear next step.
- Web, email, phone, and referrals in one intake lane
- Routing by practice area, office, or team
- Follow-up rules instead of manual chasing
Handoffs, documents, and approvals
For firms where documents, follow-up questions, and approvals get stuck between assistants, back office, and attorneys.
- Document requests with visible completeness
- Approvals and handoffs without ping-pong
- Maintainable operations instead of side spreadsheets
DATEV, RA-MICRO, and beA in one flow
For firms already using DATEV, RA-MICRO, or beA, but where the process between them keeps breaking apart.
- Status and deadlines not trapped in inboxes
- Document flow without forwarding chaos
- System-adjacent instead of another platform layer
How a typical integration works
No big-bang project, no replatforming. We connect your existing systems step by step - with measurable results after the first process.
Analysis
We identify where manual work sits between your systems and which process has the biggest leverage.
Integration
We build the connection: data flows automatically, handoffs happen by rules, status is visible everywhere.
Live operation
The automated process runs on your stack. Self-hosted, GDPR-compliant, no dependency on a new platform.
Anonymized intake case with status, routing, and clear owners
Anonymized live case from 2025. The goal was not more reach, but less leakage between first contact, qualification, routing, and next action.
- Website, email, and referrals arrived in separate lanes
- Assistants had to pre-sort and chase enquiries manually
- Owner and next action were not visible end to end
- One shared intake path for all entry channels
- Three clear status stages plus a 24h follow-up SLA
- Routing by practice area, office, and completeness
What Clients Say
Names stay anonymized for discretion. What matters here is the recurring operational pattern: channels get consolidated, ownership becomes visible, and follow-up stops depending on memory.
The intake automation has significantly reduced our initial response time. Status is now transparent - and far fewer inquiries slip through.
We have a monthly plan, AI copy, and publishing in one workflow - including approval. Social media is now plannable without the team starting from scratch every week.
Finally we know which inquiries are open and who is responsible. The support team saves noticeable time because status follow-ups are eliminated.
Client onboarding now runs automatically: checklists, document requests, deadline setting. We used to track this manually in spreadsheets.
Why this entry is stronger than a classic discovery call
Law firms do not need a broader automation show at the start. They need a reliable cut for the first live process.
One bottleneck instead of ten moving parts
We prioritize the process that is creating the most friction, idle time, or matter loss today. That prevents a vague transformation project from spreading everywhere.
Operating logic before automation logic
Owners, statuses, escalation, fallbacks, and documentation duties are fixed before anything goes live. In intake and deadline-sensitive work, operational safety matters more than a slick prototype.
Handover-ready instead of consultant-dependent
The target workflow is described and documented so assistants, back office, and partners can keep running it internally. The result should not depend on us staying around.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about workflow automation and digitalization for law firms.
- How long until the first workflow is live?
- Typically 4-6 weeks for the first production workflow. We start with a process analysis, build the workflow, test it with your team and only go live once everything runs smoothly. More complex projects with multiple integrated systems take 8-12 weeks.
- What does working with fudaut cost?
- Most engagements start with a paid workflow check or a focused project review. Implementation and ongoing support are not sold as cheap starter packages but scoped against process criticality, integration depth, governance, and operating requirements.
- Which systems can be automated with n8n?
- n8n integrates over 400 services directly - including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, DATEV, RA-MICRO and most legal practice management solutions. Custom systems can be connected via APIs and webhooks. In the first assessment, we clarify which of your tools can be connected cleanly.
- Do I need technical knowledge to use the automation?
- No. We set everything up, document every workflow in detail and train your team. Day-to-day, the automation runs in the background. All workflows belong to you - with full documentation you can switch providers at any time.
- Is the solution GDPR-compliant?
- Yes. We use self-hosted solutions - n8n runs on your server or in an EU cloud. Personal data does not leave your infrastructure. Where AI models are used, we rely on EU-compliant endpoints or local models. No vendor lock-in, no dependency on US cloud providers.
- What sets fudaut apart from traditional IT service providers?
- Traditional IT providers build custom software - expensive, time-consuming and hard to maintain. We automate your existing processes with proven tools (n8n, AI APIs). That is faster, more cost-effective and you retain full control. Our focus: measurable time savings, not technical complexity.
