Decoded Proof · artwork revision control

Every version. The one they actually approved.

An artwork vault across embroidery and print formats, with full revision control and an audit trail. Colourways and thread libraries are held against the job, not scattered across folders and someone’s memory. Customers approve their own proofs instead of an email chain, and the approved file goes straight to the floor in the format the machine actually wants.

Every version kept. Sign-off stamped against the one they saw.

decodedops.co.uk · DO-ART-944 · Rev 01

Customers approve their own proofs against the exact version that was shown. No email chain, no lost approvals.

Three parts

Revision control, proofing, and delivery to the machine.

Artwork is the thing that goes wrong quietly. Wrong version stitched, a colourway approved for one job and used on the next, a proof approved in an email nobody can find. All three of those are the same problem: no record of which version was the real one.

The vault

Every format and every version of every logo in one place, with full revision history: you can prove which file went to the machine, and when. The colourways and thread library that go with each design are held against the job, not against a folder somewhere else, so the right thread is never a guess.

Customer proofing

Customers get their own accounts and approve their own proofs. No more chasing a reply on an email thread with six people on it and three versions attached.

The approval is recorded against the version that was actually approved.

Machine delivery

Tajima, Barudan and Happy native formats, with DST as the fallback. Hot folders for DTF and DTG.

The file the floor gets is the file the machine wants, not something a person has to convert first.

Bought standalone, Proof also includes an embedded CRM: pipeline and client records, in the same place as the artwork.

Said plainly

Built for one job: proving which version is real.

How Proof is priced right now

Proof runs on founding-client terms while the first names go on the reference list: full implementation pricing, with the first six months of support included at no extra cost, in exchange for being one of the first named references. That’s the whole arrangement. It isn’t a discount dressed as an offer, and it isn’t a pilot you’re paying to be part of. You get the implementation you paid for, and I get a name I can point at.

What each tier covers

Two tiers. No third one hiding.

Which tier fits depends on your setup. Which formats, which machines, how many customers proofing. That gets worked out in conversation before anyone quotes a number.

Connected Most take thisAdds the customer proofing portal and machine delivery

There’s no third tier for this product. If what you need is bigger than Connected, that’s a different conversation and it starts with a Clarity Audit, not a tier list.

What this costs depends on scope, so it’s quoted once I know what your setup needs rather than read off a list. I’m not VAT registered, so there’s no VAT to add. How I price everything else is on the pricing page.
