It replaces chaotic email feedback chains with a structured approval process. This ensures that all files are reviewed by the right people and approved faster. Since 2015, we help our users reduce feedback costs and further accelerate approvals. Since 2015 also assisted by AI. In about 50% of creative reviews, content is checked for compliance with brand guidelines and industry regulations. That's why we train our AI assistants to take on this task, forming the first round of reviews in a faster and automated approval process. Here's what you can expect when you switch from email reviews to Filestage's online proofing software: • Reduce the risk of reputational damage – Implement a standardized approval process to ensure that every file goes through all necessary stakeholders before it is published. • Free up your employees so they can focus on more important tasks – With faster feedback, your team can use the time previously spent reviewing files for strategic priorities such as innovation, growth, and customer satisfaction. • Stay ahead of your competition when it matters most – Filestage automates communication and administrative tasks. This reduces the time it takes to create campaigns and product launches, allowing you to maximize their impact on the market. Using Filestage safes time and ultimately money and helps meeting deadlines.
