Approval Studio

Approval Studio is an online proofing app that helps to optimize the workflow and manage real-time design review and approval. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: Real Time. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Approval Studio is based in Wilmington, Delaware. You can read more at approval.studio.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Approval Studio, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
