Creative Solutions for Creative Clients
If you could drop an average of 1 round on all your projects, wouldn’t that save an enormous amount of money and speed your time to market?
Approver electronically routes approvals and incorporates interactive live annotations - freeing team members from the time consuming effort of manually obtaining approval from stakeholders. Reviewers can simultaneously view, mark-up and annotate on screen - enabling urgent projects to be approved immediately. Making your approval process digital with annotations captured brings efficacy to the process, as well as accountability.
Approvers can review the round wherever they may be that day. All that is needed is an Internet browser - desktop or mobile device - to review the files. Collaboration between internal and external users becomes simple, and in real time.
The feedback form displays the current status of each approver, including completion times and their notes for the approval. You always know who is left to review the routing.
The originator of the approval process simply completes a web form with job details, who should be in the approval process and uploads the routing file.
Whether your process requires a sequential or broadcast routing, Approver can support your needs. The approval process can route - internally or externally - from one approver to the next, or provide it to all approvers concurrently. It is all in your control.
There is no limit to the type of file you can route for approval. Route artwork, images, copy, video, and spreadsheets - virtually any file type.
An email is automatically generated when approvals are routed containing detailed information about the job, a direct link to the signoff page and approval deadlines. Approver keeps it simple for your reviewers.
Allows the project owner to a) make changes and comments to a job before it is routed to your approval team and b) apply final comments once all stakeholders have signed off.
Each round is stored with its change history providing users immediate access to view and even compare rounds.
Dashboard provides a user-specific view of what is on a user’s plate for approvals. It is as simple as looking at the queue and jumping in.
