FEATURES

Document approval workflow software for teams that need control without slowdown

Move documents through drafting, review, sign-off, and execution in one connected workspace—instead of chasing approvals across email, chat, and outdated attachments.

Pain Statement

Most approval processes are just email threads with extra steps

Scattered conversations: Review feedback lives across email threads, Slack DMs, and comment trails. Nobody knows what's final.

Version confusion: By the time someone approves, another version has already been edited. You're approving the wrong draft.

No audit trail: When deals close or compliance asks questions, you have no record of who approved what or when.

How it works

Complete walkthrough of the feature, step by step.

Step 1

Define your approval stages

Set up sequential or parallel review stages—legal, finance, executive—so every document follows the right path.

Step 2

Assign owners to each stage

Designate who reviews and approves at each step. HERO notifies them automatically when it's their turn.

Step 3

Track progress in real time

See exactly where every document stands—pending, in review, approved, or sent back for revisionwithout chasing anyone.

Step 4

Connect to signature and execution

Once approved, route directly to signing or activate connected workflows—no re-uploading, no copy-pasting.

Solution

Automate your document workflow

We help you work better, faster & smarter with no compromise on control, accuracy or reliability.. and we do it with a design-led approach, mindful of inclusion and neurodiversity (ie. dyslexia, ADHD, etc.)

Sequential and parallel routing

Route approvals in sequence when order matters, or run parallel reviews when multiple stakeholders can act simultaneously.

Revision requests with context

Approvers can send documents back with notes attached to specific sectionsnot just a vague 'needs changes' reply.

Deadline and escalation rules

Set time limits on each stage. If an approver goes silent, HERO escalates automatically so documents don't stall.

Approval history and audit log

Every approval decision is timestamped and recorded. Know exactly who approved what, when, and from which version.
