AI-Powered Procurement for Legal Teams, Built to Scale
Case Study: Trusli
Trusli partnered with Melt Studio to develop a scalable, AI-enhanced procurement workflow system tailored for in-house legal teams. Our agile approach enabled rapid iteration across features like approvals, document handling, dashboards, and multitenancy—helping Trusli bring clarity and efficiency to legal operations.
THE CHALLENGE
Designing Smart Procurement Workflows for Legal Ops
To complement its AI-driven contract platform, Trusli needed a new module to manage purchasing requests, approval flows, and documents—seamlessly integrated into existing legal operations. The system had to be modular, multi-tenant, and ready to scale across enterprise clients.
INITIAL STATE
OUR SOLUTION
Building a Modular Procurement Engine Inside a Legal Tech Stack
Requirements
Simplified Legal Procurement Logic
We translated complex procurement needs into a simplified user experience with clear approval flows, self-serve intake forms, and permission-controlled dashboards—reducing legal bottlenecks.
Application
Building Scalable Workflows
Using JavaScript, AWS, and Gitlab, our team developed components for multitenancy, deal tracking, budget metrics, and document management—all aligned to legal operations best practices.
Prototype
Deliverables and Final Handoff
We delivered a working MVP with modular architecture and documentation for handoff—ready for further scaling under Trusli’s new parent, Gruve AI.
DELIVER STATE
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

Camila, I really appreciate the extra efforts you have made on the app this months. I feel you went above and beyond to create scalable solutions consistent with the existing design. You achieved far more than I thought was going to be possible going in, and the new version of the app gives me a lot more confidence to go into sales mode.
I've dm'd you a gift card code for Amazon as thanks.

Every Mother
A quick shoutout to Melt, it's been several months now and it's clear that our new dev team has been crushing expectations all around. Shoutout to Camila who has been killing it on uhc and flex, especially on uhc, which basically gave us documentation for a platform that only exists in their dreams. Considering she's doing this without a test environment which uhc guaranteed us, Camila has put in a lot of elbow grease to make this implementation seemingly smooth sailing. Additional shoutouts to Yuli and Miguel who both have stepped into the shoes of past RPS teammates to support internal operational functions as well as put the pedal on the gas to churn out product developments. Lastly to Yulys and Austin who have seamlessly taken in the project reigns from Natali alongside the rest of Melt. Special shoutout to Sebastian who is always helping from the shadows but more recently has been contributing a great deal of effort to help resolve some longstanding revenue analytics issues. So thank you to our Melt teammates for being able to hop in immediately, helping EM put some very big pieces into place at this critical moment of our company's growth! 🎉🎉
