Online Approval Software Solves the Agency Dilemma

Before we get started, let’s define a key concept: scalability.
There’s a difference between a business that can grow and a business that can scale. A business can grow without being scalable, but eventually that growth will plateau. A business that can scale has the ability to grow exponentially without hitting that ceiling.

However, there are common issues that prevent scalability in agencies:

• Processes that haven’t been streamlined
• The inability to replicate yourself
• A lack of manpower

The good news? These challenges all share a common solution: automation. And one of the most effective automation tools for agencies is an online approval software.

Lack of Manpower (and Womanpower)

A growing agency demands a workforce that can meet the growing demand — simple economics. But if the cost of generating manpower outweighs the revenue that growth brings, your business can’t scale.

The answer isn’t always hiring more employees. Instead, focus on maximizing the manpower you already have. Every hour your team spends navigating endless proof versions, tracking revisions, or chasing down approvals is time lost.

Online approval software can reduce the time and energy required for each project by:

• Allowing clients to easily review proofs and request edits
• Reducing the number of proof versions needed
• Automatically alerting the next person in the workflow when action is required

By making online approval software the newest “member” of your team, you enable your existing staff to handle more work without burnin
