    Streamline Proposal Approvals with Proposaly: One Workflow, One Click

    PaymentsSalesSignatures

    In business, speed matters – especially when it’s time to close the deal. In our most recent poll, over 55% of respondents said that the back and forth of reviews and approvals are the biggest challenge in the proposal for business process.

    That back-and-forth is where momentum dies. Between chasing internal sign-offs, waiting on client responses, and juggling separate tools for invoices and signatures, friction adds up and deals slow down.

    Proposaly was built to eliminate that friction.


    From draft to deal, it gives teams one clean workflow for internal reviews, external approvals, e-signatures, and secure payment processing – all in one place.

    Let’s break down the biggest approval hurdles, and how Proposaly turns them into seamless steps.

    The Hidden Cost of a Broken Approval Process

    Slow approvals don’t just frustrate your team – they silently drain your pipeline. Every time a proposal sits unread in someone’s inbox or gets bounced between departments for “one last review,” you’re losing momentum. And worst of all, you’re left guessing what’s holding things up. In high-stakes environments like SaaS sales, client services, and agency work, delays aren’t just inconvenient-they’re expensive.

    Here’s what those delays usually look like:

    Centralized Internal Collaboration
    Proposaly replaces scattered email threads and Slack messages with one shared workspace. Internal reviewers can comment, suggest edits, and approve proposals in real time ensuring feedback is aligned and nothing gets missed.

    Automated Approval Workflows
    No more manual nudging. Proposaly lets you assign approval roles and sends automated notifications and reminders to keep proposals moving forward – without constant follow-up.

    Built-In Version Control
    Everyone works off the same version, always. Proposaly automatically tracks changes and saves the latest draft, so version confusion is a thing of the past.

    Live Approval Tracking
    Know exactly where every proposal stands. Track views, comments, signatures, and hold-ups from a single dashboard, giving your team visibility and control at every stage.

    Integrated Invoicing and Payments
    Turn approved proposals into invoices instantly using customizable invoice templates. Clients can pay directly through secure payment gateways using flexible terms: single, milestone, or installment.

    These bottlenecks might seem small, but stacked together, they create serious drag on your growth.

    That’s why Proposaly was built to remove them.

    Internal Approval from Multiple Managers

    For many businesses, especially in SaaS sales or services, proposals need buy-in from different internal stakeholders – legal, finance, product, or leadership. Without structure, this means lost time and chaos.

    Proposaly’s Solution: Streamlined Internal Workflows

    • Centralized dashboard for assigning and tracking internal approvals

    • Role-based permissions to route the right proposals to the right people

    • In-platform comments and version control to keep feedback organized

    • Built-in electronic signature tools so teams can finalize in one click

    No more “final_v7.pdf” emailed at 10 p.m. Just one secure place where proposals move forward-fast.

    Client Approval from Multiple Decision-Makers

    Getting client approval often involves more than one person. A marketing lead, a procurement manager, a legal reviewer. But most tools treat approvals like a one-recipient task.

    Proposaly’s Solution: A Better Client-Side Experience

    • Branded client portal where all stakeholders can view, comment, and approve

    • Live approval tracking shows you who’s viewed, signed, or needs a nudge

    • Flexible permission settings so clients can share access without compromising control

    • Digital signatures and e-signature software built right in-no third-party tools required

    When approvals are this simple, your clients are more likely to say yes-and do it quickly.

     

    Enhancing the Invoicing and Payment Experience

    Even after a proposal is approved, many businesses switch tools to send invoices and request payments. That adds friction, confusion, and delay.

    Proposaly’s Integrated Invoicing & Payments

    • Customizable invoice templates to generate polished, branded invoices instantly

    • Auto-conversion of proposals into invoices-no manual re-entry needed

    • Multiple payment terms (single, milestone, or installment)

    • Secure payment processing via built-in payment gateway integrations

    • Real-time invoice tracking and auto-reminders to keep cash flow healthy

    Need a bill template that matches your proposal layout? Proposaly makes it happen-automatically.
