Soft Proofing Software

Streamline your creative review process with automated workflows, real-time collaboration, and version control all in one place.

What makes Ashore different?

The only platform branded for you

Every brand is unique, and your creative process is too. Ashore adapts to your specific workflows, brand guidelines, and team structure—something no other platform can deliver.

Features

Increase Approval Rates Significantly

Your print shop sends hundreds of soft proofs to customers every month. How many have been approved? How many are still waiting for feedback? We know it's difficult to keep track. That's why Ashore is the ideal tool for high-velocity print shops to send, track, manage, and automate the approval process for digital proofs.

Online Proofing

Getting feedback on your proof is simple. Upload your digital files from your computer or favorite cloud storage platform, and send a review link to your customer. We support all major filetypes, including images, documents, HTML and video. We give your approvers the ability to view, comment, and make decisions on your proof — all without having to create an account.

Automated Tracking

Every proof gets its own timeline in Ashore. It's like an audit log that captures every version your company has sent, every time the proof has been viewed, every email that has been sent, every decision made on the proof, and any internal notes. We capture everything and notify you whenever comments or status updates have been made.

Reminders

If your approvers have forgotten to review a proof, Ashore will automatically remind them. You can change the frequency to daily, every other day, once a week, or never! We have found our automated reminders significantly increase approver status updates!

Whitelabeling

Your paid account can brand Ashore with your own logo. You can also utilize our integration with Postmark to send proofs from your own email account. For more personalization, add your own custom email signature to every email.

Workflow Automation

Does your print shop require internal review before customers can receive proofs? With Workflows, you can deploy proofs in an automated sequence of approvers or to multiple approvers at once. Workflows are customizable even after a proof has been sent!

Tags

By default, Ashore provides several options for filtering your proofs by status or deadline. You can also categorize proofs into customizable Tags. Group your proofs by customer or project, and see the status of each proof in one, color-coded location.

Checklists and eSignature

If you require approvers to sign off on certain requirements before a soft proof is sent to print, Ashore provides a customizable checklist. With Checklists, your approvers must acknowledge your requirements before submitting their approval on a proof.

Email Templates

Writing the same email to each approver is unnecessary. With our email templates feature, you can standardize and expedite the process for sending proofs to approvers. Drop-in a template, and we'll pre-fill your email subject, message, and any users in your company to BCC. Proofs are approved faster and in fewer versions when feedback is improved.

Save time with better feedback

Better feedback leads to better work and fewer revisions. By providing clearer, more actionable feedback on creative projects, Ashore helps teams reduce the number of revision cycles, saving valuable time and resources.
