Automate Elite 3E with Caddi

Built for law firms.

Elite 3E is the financial system of record for many large firms — and like every enterprise billing platform, it's surrounded by manual prebill review, time entry, and reconciliation work. Caddi automates those motions so finance teams stop rekeying between 3E, the DMS, and email.

Why automate it

The work around Elite 3E is where time disappears.

3E is configured precisely for each firm, so off-the-shelf connectors tend to break on the firm's own rules. Caddi learns your team's exact clicks once and runs them deterministically across Elite 3E, your document system, and your inbox.

FAQ

Questions about automating Elite 3E

Does Caddi have a real Elite 3E integration?

Yes. Caddi runs verified code against Elite 3E's official APIs (and uses a secure, audited browser session when an API isn't available). Every automation Caddi builds for Elite 3E is reviewed before it runs in production.

Do I need engineering help to automate Elite 3E with Caddi?

No. You demonstrate the workflow once — clicking through Elite 3E the way you normally would — and Caddi turns it into a verified, repeatable automation. No code, no IT ticket, no Zapier-style wiring.

Is my Elite 3E data safe?

Caddi is SOC 2 attested. Our AI watches and builds the automation, but it never touches client data at runtime — once the automation is generated, it executes deterministically against Elite 3E with no model in the loop.

Can Caddi connect Elite 3E to the rest of my stack?

That's the point. Most Caddi automations span 3-6 tools — for example, pulling data out of an email, updating Elite 3E, filing a document in cloud storage, and posting a confirmation in Slack or Teams. Every tool on the integrations page is fair game.
