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.

Application

Melt Studio was critical in helping us get our project off the ground. When we first onboarded with the team, Melt gave us countless hours of support from their most senior developers to bootstrap our project and get things moving. The breadth of their knowledge across infrastructure and architecture is impressive. We were able to make more progress in just a couple weeks than we otherwise would have made in months. I won't ever forget that. Many more amazing experiences since then :) but that's my favorite!
