See every featureProofdesk holds an incoming order the moment one of your rules matches. You upload the proof, and the customer approves it through a link that needs no account and no login. A change request is not a rejection: the hold stays, you upload a new revision, and every round stays in the case history.
Are you still sending emails back and forth with customers to manage your custom order proof process? Wouldn't it be great to be able to upload order proofs right from your order dashboard, and have them automatically be sent out to customers? That's where Proofer comes in. Proofer manages the custom order approval process from start to finish, without you ever having to manually send an email again!
- Holds the order automatically as soon as a rule matches
- The customer approves by link, with no account and no login

- Every revision, comment and decision sits in one history
- Keep track of all proof files for an order in one place
- Filter orders by proof status (e.g. waiting for proof, sent, accepted, etc.)
- Manage revisions - customers can request changes right from the app
- Reduce support requests by keeping the proofing process out of your email inbox
