No unapproved job starts. Anywhere.
Late artwork, unapproved artwork and artwork changed after sign-off cause most of your last-minute chaos. Here it becomes a locked first step instead of a delivery-day shock.
What it looks like now.
- Customers send artwork late, or never approve it.
- The book block gets printed and the cover is remembered on the last day.
- Changes come in after final approval, nobody writes them down, and the delivery does not match.
What changes for you.
- The check is enforced at the API, not in the screen. There is no page, no shortcut and no integration that can start a stage on an unapproved order.
- Each part is approved on its own, so an approved cover can start while the block still waits.
- Clients approve from their phone, through the portal.
- A change after approval sends that part back for sign-off by itself, and flags it.
- Dispatch warns you if what you are shipping is not the version that was approved.
Step by step on the floor.
- 1 Attach the artwork
- 2 The client approves the proof
- 3 The part releases to production
- 4 Change it later? It goes back for approval
Questions owners ask about this.
No, and that is deliberate. The check lives at the API, so there is no screen to click past and no integration that can go around it. What you can do is run the parts that are approved: a signed-off cover proceeds while the block waits.
That part reopens the check automatically and is recorded as a change after approval. Both proof sign-offs and post-approval changes are reportable, so a delivery dispute has an answer.
The client, from the portal. Or your own staff recording it for them. Either way it is always traceable to a person.
