Why use WorkZone?

Key differentiators & advantages of WorkZone

Secure File Sharing: Share files across clients, employees and vendors. Set permissions for folders or documents so that individuals get access to appropriate items.

The approvals dashboard allows users to view and manage all items currently out for approval. The dashboard lists each approver, response status, the date of reply and comments for each item.
