Request Files for Approval in Concert

Last quarter, we introduced the Receipt of Acknowledgment workflow—a major step forward in giving teams visibility into document handoffs. That feature allowed senders to confirm not just that a file was delivered, but that it was received and acknowledged by the recipient. It created a clear audit trail and reduced uncertainty in file exchanges.

Now, we’re expanding on that momentum.

Completing the Workflow Loop

At Concert, we help AECO teams move faster with less friction. Our tools match the way projects really work. With our latest update, teams can now request files for approval, closing an important gap in early-phase collaboration.

Previously, users could send files for review, signature, or acknowledgment. But many workflows start the other way around—with someone asking for information or documents. Now, with Concert, you can initiate that request, track the response and approve the submission, all in one streamlined flow.

A Common Use Case: Pre-Design Engineering Documents

Consider an architect preparing to begin a project. Before designing, they need civil engineering reports such as ALTA surveys or soil sample data. These documents are essential, but the architect doesn’t produce them. Typically, the owner or their representative supplies them.

With this new feature, the architect sends a clear, structured request through Concert. The owner uploads the files, and the architect reviews and approves them—all without switching tools or relying on email. As a result, everyone stays aligned from the start.

Why This Changes the Game

Early project data often gets buried in long email threads or scattered across folders. Requests are overlooked. Files arrive late or incomplete. These issues lead to delays, miscommunication, and rework.

Concert eliminates those risks. It keeps all requests, submissions, and approvals in one place. Since everything is tracked and transparent, teams gain clarity and control. Most importantly, this leads to better outcomes with fewer surprises.

The Full Picture of Digital Delivery

This new feature rounds out Concert’s delivery suite. Whether you’re sending or requesting files for approval, you can now manage the entire exchange within a single platform. That means less context switching, fewer dropped balls, and a more professional experience for all parties.

Digital delivery isn’t just about speed—it’s about certainty. With Concert, your workflow becomes smarter, cleaner, and fully documented from start to finish.
