What changed for the people who use it
Renewal used to mean a trip to the office with a stack of forms. Now I complete it from my phone between hearings, and the certificate appears in my vault immediately.
I needed to confirm someone was a real advocate before signing anything. The lookup took ten seconds and gave me a clear answer — no phone calls, no waiting.
Our case queues used to live in shared spreadsheets. Now every complaint has a single source of truth, and nothing falls through the cracks between handovers.
