Workflow

A delivery loop built around how agency work actually repeats

Blae connects the post-sale workflow that usually gets split across forms, boards, folders, approval links, and status meetings.

  • Collect intake details, assets, access, and approval contacts before delivery starts.
  • Turn service plans into weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly deliverables.
  • Move each deliverable through draft, approval, requested changes, locked, posted, and proof.
  • Give clients visibility without exposing your internal project management noise.
Visibility

Know what is due, blocked, approved, and delivered

Small agencies miss work when status depends on memory. Blae gives the team and the client a shared view of where deliverables stand without another spreadsheet audit.

  • See what is waiting on the agency, the client, or final proof.
  • Keep captions, assets, approvals, and revision notes attached to the right deliverable.
  • Use version history so final approval is tied to the actual work that shipped.
  • Track recurring package work by client, period, service plan, and status.
Proof

Close the loop with proof of work

Clients do not only need to approve work. They need to see what was shipped. Blae keeps proof, files, final versions, and delivery context connected to the work itself.

  • Attach final screenshots, URLs, files, notes, or publishing evidence.
  • Show which version was approved before it went live.
  • Reduce end-of-month reporting scramble by capturing proof as the work happens.
