Manage custom order proofs and production stages from approval to shipped, without the email chaos.
Custom product shops waste hours on proof emails and lose customers after approval. Proofstage fixes the full workflow: upload proofs from any order, customers approve with one click, automated reminders chase non-responders, and production stages keep everyone updated from design to delivery. No more "where is my order?" emails. Built for print shops, engravers, embroidery, signage, and personalized gift brands.
