Master the Approval Process

There are two major parts to every project: designing the proof and then getting it approved.

There are plenty of tools to help you achieve the first part, and Ashore is here to help you achieve the second. Our design proofing software takes the conversation out of email and centralizes everything in one convenient, cloud-based location. You’ll no longer lose valuable feedback in confusing email chains – all approver communication happens directly on the design. Learning the ropes with Ashore is a quick and easy process for both creatives and approvers. To start sending proofs, simply upload your design – Ashore supports all major filetypes for a variety of formats including videos, images and documents – and designate your workflow. Workflows can be customized and saved for reuse, but you can also send to a single approver or send your design to all approvers at once. Ashore gives you the flexibility to make the proofing process work how you want it to.

Our goal is to make the process go as fast as painless as possible. Once you’ve designated your workflow, Ashore will automatically take your proof through it, using automated reminders to keep your approvers on the ball – with no more input from you. Collaboration on the proof occurs in a much more organized and deliberate way, too. Threaded comments and markup tools help to reduce confusion on all sides by putting feedback in context. With version control, Ashore also allows creatives and approvers to see and compare the changes through revision cycles. We have some unique features to help improve your approval process, too. Modify sender abilities allow you to send proofs on behalf of other users.

Email templating allows you to create and save custom templates, so the process of sending new proofs only takes a matter of seconds. Checklists help you dictate to your approvers what they should be evaluating in your proofs, so you can be more confident in their approvals. Ashore users have seen their designs approved up to 50% faster, and they spend much less time managing the process, reclaiming up to five hours of their work week for each employee. That’s time you can spend scrolling through social media…or doing your job.
