Digital intake forms offer several advantages over paper-based forms or manual intake processes.

Here’s why they are better:

1. Efficiency and time savings

• Clients complete structured intake forms at their convenience, ensuring all mandatory fields are filled. This eliminates the need to chase missing information and reduces back-and-forth communication.
• Data is instantly captured and stored in Smokeball, eliminating manual data entry and errors

2. Accuracy and reduced errors

• Digital forms ensure required fields are completed, preventing missing or incomplete information.
• Formatting for data such as dates or addresses are standardised
• No more time wasted deciphering handwriting or badly scanned documents

3. Better client experience

Clients can submit information from anywhere, anytime, on any device.

For law firms, switching to digital intake forms is a no-brainer— it speeds up client onboarding, reduces administrative work, and delivers a professional, modern experience.
