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.

After working with other developers I can honestly say that my experience with Melt has been fantastic. First, the teams that have worked on our various projects are talented and diligent. Second, I appreciate weekly meetings where we can see the progress of our apps. Manuel and his team has always kept us abreast of the progress, the problems, and potential solutions to overcome the challenges. I love being able to see in Pivotal the number of stories and how each has been tackled. The openness, honesty and clarity in the communication has been a key for my satisfaction.
