An activity feed shows you what happened. A pipeline shows you where everything stands.
Filevine's activity feed is excellent for tracking history. Legalboards gives you the complementary view: where every matter is right now, who owns the next action, and what's at risk.

Problems Filevine wasn't designed to solve.
These aren't critiques of Filevine. They're a different layer of operations — one that requires dedicated workflow tooling.
Stalled cases stay hidden
Filevine shows activity when something happens. But when nothing happens, there's no signal. Cases can stall for weeks before anyone notices. Legalboards makes inactivity visible.
Phase changes don't trigger actions
Moving a project to a new phase in Filevine doesn't automatically assign tasks or notify the next person. Legalboards closes that gap — the right work starts the moment a phase changes.
No cross-team workload view
Filevine shows you everything about one case at a time. Legalboards shows you the state of all cases and all team members at once — so you can balance workload before it becomes a problem.
We don't replace Filevine. We make it more powerful.
Your team stays in Filevine for case management, documents, and client communication. Legalboards adds the operational layer — syncing in the background and never disrupting your existing workflow.
