arteLEX The platform for the law firm

Everything that reaches the firm.
Already in the right matter.

Email, scanned mail, WhatsApp, voice messages and phone calls enter a single queue. arteLEX reads every document, recognises which matter it belongs to and files it — on its own when it is certain, as a proposal to confirm when it is not. Around it: matters, contacts, the archive of originals, accounting and invoicing, on infrastructure we own in Switzerland.

Four channels
email, scanner, WhatsApp and phone in one queue
Automatic filing
whenever recognition is certain
Originals tracked
every paper document carries an RFID tag
// the problem

Mail arrives from five directions.
The matter is one.

A judgment by registered post, an attachment by email, a photo of a contract on WhatsApp, a call from the client. Each ends up somewhere different, and someone has to remember to bring them together. The risk is not missing information: it is scattered information.

Today
  • Scanned mail saved and renamed by hand, folder by folder
  • Client documents lost in personal WhatsApp chats
  • Calls and voice messages that leave no trace in the matter
  • Paper originals handed over, lent or filed without knowing where they are
With arteLEX
  • Every document read by OCR, recognised and filed in the matter
  • The firm's WhatsApp chats sorted by matter, attachments included
  • Voice messages and calls transcribed and linked to the file
  • Every original carries an RFID tag: where it is, with whom and since when
// how it recognises the matter

Certain facts first.
AI only when needed.

Recognition works as a cascade and stops at the first level that is enough. The more complete the contacts and matters, the more documents file themselves.

1 · The reference

A registered docket or file number appears in the text: a certain match, and it stops here.

2 · The matter's fingerprint

Parties, subject, land parcel, authority: each element has a weight, and two different elements count more than one repeated.

3 · AI analysis

It steps in only if the signals are not enough or two matters are too close. When it agrees with the signals, confidence rises.

CertainFiled on its own in the matter's folder
LikelyProposed: one click to confirm
UncertainTo sort, with matter search close at hand

The thresholds are set by the firm. The counsel's name weighs little on purpose: it appears in every matter, so it identifies none.

// core features

The whole firm.
One environment.

From the envelope that reaches reception to the invoice sent to the client, every step leaves its trace in the same place.

Unified inbox

Email, scanner, WhatsApp and phone system in one sorting queue, with preview and recognised text.

Matters from the pleading

Paste the heading of the appeal or upload the PDF: AI extracts parties, counsel, subject and authority.

Contacts that recognise

Clients, counterparties, authorities, experts, witnesses and counsel. One contact across every matter; duplicates are flagged.

QR stamp on every page

The archived copy carries its own code. A reprinted photocopy is recognised as such, not as a new document.

Versions and duplicates

A document that comes back with notes, stamps or signatures is compared page by page with the archived one.

Full-text search

Every document goes through OCR: search the content of all mail and all files, not just file names.

Archive of originals

Boxes, locations, checkouts and returns tracked by RFID. An original lodged with an authority stays under control.

Accounting and invoicing

Double-entry bookkeeping, VAT, debtors and creditors, invoices with the Swiss QR-bill. In the same system as the matters.

Profiles and audit log

Permissions by function and by person, a log of every action. In Italian, German, French and English.

// artificial intelligence

AI reads and proposes.
The lawyer decides.

The models work on the firm's documents, on our infrastructure in Switzerland. Every proposal shows what it rests on, and nothing is written until someone confirms whenever the system is not certain.

AI·01

Reading the pleading

From the heading of an appeal or an originating document, AI extracts the parties and their counsel, the subject, the land parcel and the authority. Parties become real contacts — if they already exist, they are linked rather than duplicated.

  • Parties and counsel
  • Subject and parcel
  • Competent authority
  • Recognises your own firm
AI·02

Recognising correspondence

When references and the matter's fingerprint are not enough, AI reads the document and proposes the most likely matter, with a confidence score and the elements it is based on.

  • Reasoned proposal
  • Confidence score
  • One-click confirmation
AI·03

Transcribing voice and calls

WhatsApp voice messages and phone system recordings become text, searchable and linked to the matter like any other document.

  • WhatsApp voice notes
  • Phone system recordings
  • Searchable text
// archive of originals

Originals
no longer get lost.

Every paper document gets an RFID tag, every box its own. Put the box on the reader and arteLEX knows what is inside: what is there, what is missing, what should not be there.

Shelving

The box goes back to its place. What the reader sees is where the documents are.

Checkout and return

You know what left the firm, with whom and when. On return, whatever does not answer has not come back.

With the authority

An original lodged with a court stays on record: where it is, since when, who follows it.

Audit

A check that records what it sees without moving anything, whenever it is needed.

You start with a single desk reader that works as a keyboard: enough to tag and search. Inventory of a whole box can be added later, without changing any of the work already done.

// accounting and invoicing

Matters and accounts
in the same system.

Real bookkeeping, not an export to another program. What has been posted is never deleted: it is reversed, and the reversal stays in the journal.

  • JournalDouble entry, drafts and entries linked to the matter
  • Chart of accountsStandard chart ready to use, names in four languages
  • VATCodes, the firm's VAT method and return
  • Financial yearsPeriods and closings, with the result carried to equity

// professional secrecy

Client documents
stay in Switzerland.

arteLEX runs on the aqumo private cloud, on hardware we own in Switzerland. There is no foreign cloud provider between you and your files: we know where every byte is, and so can you.

Data in Switzerland

Infrastructure we own, Swiss law, no foreign hyperscaler.

Your mailbox stays yours

arteLEX reads mail without changing it: no message is ever marked as read behind a lawyer's back.

Controlled access

Profiles by function, exceptions per person, active sessions under control.

Audit log

Who did what, and when. A discarded document does not disappear: it stays on record with the reason.
