When asked for an update on a pending request, I would have had to look through several email threads, make phone calls, and often have to wait for a reply to give an accurate update. I can now go into Tallyfy and view all of the information in one place. In two seconds, I am able to update the requestor on the status of their order.

Tallyfy® is Document Approval Workflows Made Easy

Your document storage system holds the files, but it can't route them for sign-off. Tallyfy bridges that gap - it's document approval software that mid-market teams actually use to track who needs to approve what, and when.

Document sign-off is a chain of tasks

AI does the whole job alone 35%
With Tallyfy: one task at a time 99%

90% per task, 10 tasks in a row, is about 35%. A 10-step job done blind is worse than a coin flip.

Read why AI is for tasks, not jobs

You cannot automate a process that doesn't exist

Old documents and people's memories aren't a process, and nobody follows them the same way twice. Write the steps down in Tallyfy, and people and AI get through, with every step tracked.

AI gets through the wall once the steps are written down AI, shown as an orange sparkle, runs into a brick wall and stops. Tallyfy writes four numbered steps, 1 to 4, and a doorway opens in the wall. AI goes through the doorway and along the steps, and each step gets a green check as AI passes it. The wall stays standing above and below the doorway. Then the picture starts again. 1 2 3 4

What a form or an email can't do

A form collects answers. Tallyfy turns each answer into work someone owns and finishes.

  • Turn forms into tasks

    Split one long form so each person fills their part, with a deadline and reminders.

    A long form is cut into three slices, and each slice goes in turn to its own person as a numbered step that gets a check. 1 2 3
  • Show the right task at the right time

    A short kickoff form, then rules that show only the steps that apply.

    A kickoff form answer of Drywall turns on a rule, so only the two drywall steps show and get checks while the other steps stay hidden. Drywall 3 4 1 2 3 4 If Drywall 1 2
  • Your AI updates Tallyfy from email and chat

    Connect the AI you already use. It fills in fields and completes tasks.

    Your AI reads an email and a chat message, then completes a Tallyfy task and fills in a field AI 1 2
  • Your AI updates Tallyfy from meetings

    Give it the meeting transcript. It updates the tasks and fields that came up.

    What was said in a meeting reaches Tallyfy once your AI connects it, so a task is completed and a field is filled in AI 1 2
  • Direct your other apps through AI

    Instructions saved in each step tell your AI what to do, the same way every time.

    A Tallyfy step holds saved instructions, AI follows them in three apps, and each result comes back to the step as a check ? AI Instructions
  • Write it once, run it every time

    Each run follows the same steps, and every change you make improves the next one.

    Document, Run and Improve form a loop, and the run counter goes up each time round Document Run Improve 1 2 3

Approvals without the bottlenecks

Related Questions

What is document approval management software?

It's software that helps teams track, manage, and control who reviews and approves documents. Pretty simple concept. With Tallyfy, those approvals become visual workflows - everyone can see exactly what they're responsible for, and nothing gets lost in email.

What exactly is Tallyfy?

Tallyfy gets workflows out of people's heads and into documented systems. For document approvals specifically? It creates trackable workflows that free up about two hours per person daily. You can assign tasks to people or AI - whatever makes sense for your team.

Why do traditional document approvals fail?

In our conversations, we've heard the same story over and over. Email chains. Chat messages. Paper trails that go nowhere. Documents go missing. People don't respond. And there's no easy way to track progress or spot where things got stuck.

How does Tallyfy make document approvals easier?

You can see exactly where each document stands. Who acts next. What's causing delays. The platform creates transparent, visual approval processes. Automated emails, complete change histories, and audit trails are all built in. Templates keep everything consistent.

What happens if you don't use proper document approval software?

Based on feedback we've received, it's not pretty. Missed deadlines. Lost documents. Compliance headaches. Frustrated teams. Approvals scatter across email and chat with no clear records of who approved what - or when.

How does Tallyfy handle external approvers?

External approvers get one permanent link for all their tasks. No signup. No passwords. They can review, accept, and approve documents through a branded interface. You get real-time tracking on your end.

Can I see customer reviews of Tallyfy?

Yes! Head to tallyfy.com/customers. You'll find stories from organizations using Tallyfy for document approvals and other processes - with actual results they've measured.

Does Tallyfy offer country-specific pricing?

We do. Pricing is tied to GDP per capita of your country, with lifetime discounts up to 90%. It's how we make the software accessible globally - company size doesn't matter.

How does Tallyfy handle document templates?

The templating is surprisingly flexible. Fill-in-the-blanks documents. Fields you can define as editable or read-only. Content shared across templates. Fields that auto-populate with existing information. It saves a lot of repetitive work.

Does Tallyfy offer a free trial?

Yes. Request a personal demo and you'll get access to a free trial configured for your specific document approval needs. Book at tallyfy.com/booking.

Does Tallyfy offer free help with implementing document approval workflows?

Absolutely. We provide free consulting and support for setup - template creation, automations, team training, all through scheduled conversations. We won't leave you hanging.

How do I get started with Tallyfy for document approvals?

Book a personal demo at tallyfy.com/booking. You'll see how Tallyfy improves document approvals and start a trial with guided setup assistance. Pretty straightforward.

How do pharmaceutical and life sciences teams handle regulatory document approvals?

In our conversations with life sciences teams, we've seen them track FDA submissions, patent documentation, manufacturing approvals, and quality certifications through entire product lifecycles. Each document flows through the required review chain with timestamps and signatures. The goal? One place for all regulatory processes. No more hunting through email threads or shared drives to find approval status.

Can Tallyfy handle contract and statement-of-work approvals?

It can. Professional services teams route contracts and SOWs through legal, finance, and executive sign-off in sequence. Conditional rules can skip certain approvers based on contract value or client type. External parties? They review and approve via guest access without creating accounts. Just one permanent link.

Pick one process. Run it this week.

Start with the one your team repeats most, and stop chasing it.
