Bates Express

Bates Express is an software utility that stamps bates to PDF and TIFF files. Put simply, it is about running projects, docs and workflows in one shared workspace.

The natural audience is teams that want fewer tools. They also list Productivity Tools, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 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.

Bates Express is based in Columbia, South Carolina. More on batesexpress.com.

Things worth asking about: automation limits, permissions, and per-seat cost at scale. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.
