How we turned an Excel-based start-up into a scalable legal-tech platform managing $150M+ in funded cases

Rockpoint started with a simple web app and Excel sheets. As demand exploded, the system could no longer keep up. We stepped in, built a secure, scalable platform from the ground up, and helped the company grow 200-300% year over year.

The rescue mission

Client

Rockpoint Legal Funding is a California-based company helping people cover living costs after accidents and injuries until the insurance company pays out. They operate at the intersection of legal, fintech and insurance services.

Challenge

The entire business ran on a basic web app and spreadsheets. Growth was too fast, processes changed weekly, and scaling the system was impossible.

Solution

We delivered an agile, continuously evolving platform built on modern infrastructure, with automated workflows, e-signature modules, reporting and CRM.

Outcome

Rockpoint now operates on a fully digital system that supports rapid growth, requires no extra staff and keeps sensitive client data secure and compliant.

A rapidly growing start-up stuck inside Excel

Rockpoint was processing thousands of cases in spreadsheets and a basic MVP tool. Every change required manual work. Growth was no longer manageable.

What we had to work with:

Entire workflow tracked in Excel
No automation or real-time overview of active cases
Slow processing and manual errors
No reporting for banks or investors

High-stakes legal cases with everything on the line

Every delay meant a client waiting longer for money they urgently needed. Rockpoint needed a system that could process more cases, eliminate manual work, and most importantly, keep data safe.

What the client wanted:

A unified workflow, CRM and reporting platform
Faster processing without hiring more staff
Fully digital contracts and e-signing
Real-time reporting for bank partners
Secure handling of sensitive client data

A rebuild that turned an MVP into a scalable legal business

We replaced the spreadsheets with a platform that manages clients, funding requests, processing workflows, e-contracts and accounting - all in one place.

Technical audit & Rescue

We mapped all processes, cleaned critical tech debt and designed an all-in-one platform.

Software Development & Scaling

Built on Symfony (backend) and Angular (frontend) with hybrid upgrading to avoid downtime. Introduced automated testing (Cypress, unit tests) to prevent regressions.

How we helped Rockpoint grow 10x without hiring 10x more people

We didn't just build software. We designed an entire operating system for Rockpoint's business. The project started as an MVP rebuild and turned into a long-term partnership lasting more than 9 years. The company now handles thousands of cases, signs contracts digitally, reports to banks in real time, and grows 200-300% year over year.

What we delivered:

Complete workflow, CRM, and accounting system
Fully digital contract creation and signing
50% faster case processing time
Automated testing and long-term technical stability
Software foundation supporting $60M+ portfolio

How our long-term partnership helped Rockpoint become the fastest-growing legal funding company on the West Coast

This wasn't a one-time project. We became Rockpoint's long-term tech partner, and over 9+ years of partnership, we delivered more than one major solution. Besides the core platform, we also built:

Whiteboard workflow system

A visual case-tracking tool that gives every department instant clarity on status and ownership. No more spreadsheets, emails, or lost files.

Banking reports

Custom analytics that secured Rockpoint a credit line worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Previously impossible with spreadsheets.

Hybrid Angular upgrade

A seamless migration from Angular 1 to 5 without breaking production. Both versions ran simultaneously to avoid downtime.

Dynamic security system

Enabled two-factor authentication and multiple levels of user access. Full control over who can see what, legally compliant and audit-ready.

Automated documentation

Fully digital contract creation, signing, and archiving. Cut processing time by 50% and removed paperwork delays entirely.

Ongoing monitoring

Running continuous tests ensures smooth operation, fewer bugs and faster deployments. Issues are caught before they cause a problem.
