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)
