Alerts, Reviews, and Approvals

• Telescope manages all logistics to contact each firm, collects responses and requests regular updates.
• Telescope instantly notifies you when responders change answers to questions.
• Telescope ensures best practices around reviews, checklist completion, and multi-group approvals. As changes occur, Telescope sends out alerts to shorten your reaction time.
