The goal of our decision management tool is to help productivity in businesses, but small businesses in particular are finding Zapproved to be a big help in improving their efficiency. When we saw the Wall Street Journal’s special section on Small Business, we were excited to have been selected for the “Web Watch” column by Laura Lorber. She had a section of tools about “Organizing” and focused on the value of a better way to track business proposals.

Zapproved
This service, from Zapproved Inc. of Portland, Ore., tries to help small companies manage a single task: tracking business proposals. Like the popular online-invitation service Evite, Zapproved organizes a conversation about a proposal on a single Web page. Decision makers can travel to the page, approve or reject the project and leave comments. The page then shows a list of those decisions and comments for all invited participants to see. Decisions are also archived and searchable.
The standard service is free, and a premium version is in the works with add-ons, such as more storage capacity. It will run $12 per month for single users and $100 per month for up to 20 users.
