For companies
Your agencies, freelancers and suppliers, in one place.
Give every partner their own project, invite their people free, and sign off their work on your side, with a record of who approved what.
The problem
Outsourcing the work shouldn't mean losing sight of it.
A rebrand can involve an agency, a freelance writer and a printer, each with its own threads, file links and idea of the deadline. Your team ends up as the switchboard.
- Every partner works somewhere different The agency shares files one way, the freelancer another, the printer a third. Finding the latest version means asking.
- Sign-off happens in reply-all A "go ahead" buried in an email thread is hard to find later, and harder to point to when something is questioned.
- One shared space shows everyone everything Put every partner in one folder or channel and the agency can read the printer's quote.
- Nobody has the whole picture Each partner reports progress in their own format, so finding out what's late means chasing three people.
How it works
Three steps to running every partner from one workspace
-
1
Give each partner a project
One project per agency, freelancer or supplier, with columns named the way you work. Partners only see the projects you invite them to, so the agency never sees the printer's jobs.
-
2
Invite their people free
Each person joins as a single-project guest: free on every plan, able to comment, upload and approve files, and able to change only the jobs they raised, are assigned to or were added to.
The invite dialog on a job: an email address typed in as ava@lindqvist.studio, a note that Ava will join as a free single-project guest, optional name fields and a send button.

Sign off on your side
Partners post files for approval on the job. Your team approves, or rejects with a note, and the partner uploads a new version in its place. Who decided, and when, stays on the job.
Why it works
What changes when every partner works in your workspace
Partners never see each other's work
Partners who join as guests see only the projects they're invited to, and only the people on those projects. Keep internal discussion in an internal project.
Partners join free
Single-project guests are never billed, on any plan. Someone you add to a second project becomes a multi-project guest and counts as a user.
Sign-off with a name on it
Approve, or reject with a note saying what needs to change. Every decision stays on the job with who made it and when.
One version to look at
A rejected file comes back as a new version, and the old one is marked as replaced. Download all leaves out anything pending or rejected.
Every partner's deadlines in one report
Reports puts every project side by side, and its At risk list shows what's overdue, due today or due this week, by person and by project.
Numbers you can share
Export a report or any table as CSV, print a report, or have it emailed to people in your workspace every week or month.
- Each partner sees its own project
- A single-project guest can open the project they were invited to, and sees only the people on it: no other project, and no other partner's people.
- Your data has its own database
- Every workspace runs on its own subdomain with its own database, and file links are signed and expire after 8 hours.
- Partners are never billed
- Single-project guests don't count towards your user limit on either plan.
