Description

Approval Studio is an online proofing software that allows you to streamline your workflow and enable a fast and effective artwork approval process. Approval Studio is a proofing tool that allows users to annotate assets, compare versions, chat online, and invite external reviewers (e.g. clients) to approve or reject the artwork. On a dashboard, users can organize their assets according to the aims or habits adapted to using views, like Kanban, List, Folder, Vertical, and Mansory. The project menu allows users to track progress, upload new versions, generate reports, share the assets with all the required reviewers, and even upload or review the reference documents. Furthermore, users can participate in ongoing discussions, tied with the project, or see a timeline to make sure everything is done promptly. Many app integrations like Slack, Adobe Creative Cloud, Zapier, and Shopify allow you to set up a perfect artwork approval process for you and your team. Choose one of the available plans, tailored to fit each company's budget and workflow. Move your asset proofing to the next level!

By transforming project management, Smartflow simplifies the journey from packaging concept to shelf by instilling accountability and structure into the workflow.
