What is Approval Studio?

Approval Studio serves as an online proofing platform designed to enhance your workflow and facilitate a quick and efficient process for artwork approvals. This tool enables users to annotate files, compare different versions, engage in online discussions, and invite external stakeholders, such as clients, to either approve or reject artwork. Users can customize their dashboard to organize assets based on their preferences or workflow methodologies, utilizing views like Kanban, List, Folder, Vertical, and Masonry. The project menu features tools for tracking progress, uploading new versions, generating reports, sharing assets with necessary reviewers, and managing reference documents. Additionally, users can engage in ongoing discussions related to the project and monitor timelines to ensure timely completion of tasks. Integrations with popular applications such as Slack, Adobe Creative Cloud, Zapier, and Shopify further optimize the artwork approval process for teams. Select from a variety of plans that cater to different company budgets and workflows, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your needs. Elevate your asset proofing experience and achieve seamless collaboration today!

What is Simple Admation?

Simple Admation is a marketing approval workflow, online proofing and project management platform built by Simple Marketing Solutions (simple.io) for marketing teams, creative agencies and regulated organisations in banking, insurance, health and retail. The problem Admation solves: marketing teams managing high volumes of campaign content typically rely on email chains, shared drives and disconnected review tools. The result is version confusion, missed deadlines, duplicated feedback and approval processes that lack a defensible audit trail — a real compliance risk in regulated industries. Admation manages the complete creative production process from structured brief to final approved asset in a single platform. • Project management: structured brief templates capture requirements before creative work begins. Task scheduling runs against live resource capacity, with campaign calendars, Gantt timelines and dashboards giving managers full visibility across every active project. • Approval workflow: assets route through sequenced, multi-level approval pathways. Stakeholders annotate directly online — print, digital, video and HTML — with all feedback consolidated in one view. Automated reminders keep reviewers accountable. Batch approvals and forwarding tools cut high-volume review cycle costs. • Online proofing: side-by-side revision comparison and consolidated feedback give creative teams a single source of truth across every review cycle. • Compliance: tamper-proof audit trail records every review action and approval decision with timestamps and reviewer attribution — exportable for regulatory submission. Mandatory checklists ensure compliance steps are confirmed before sign-off. • Resource management: live resource planner, time tracking, skill-based scheduling and workload dashboards. Used by Bupa, Bendigo Bank, RACV, HESTA, Hollard, Woolworths, Mondelez, Spotlight and Tourism Australia. Standalone product by Simple Marketing Solutions (simple.io)
