Route approvals by rules, not by chasing people down.

Purchase orders waiting in an inbox. Price overrides approved via text message. Capital requests lost in an email thread. We replace ad-hoc approval processes with digital workflows that route to the right person, escalate when they\u2019re slow, and log every decision.

The Problem

Approvals That Run on Email and Hope

Approval requests buried in email inboxes with no visibility into where they are in the queue
No escalation rules \u2014 urgent requests sit for days when the approver is out or overloaded
Approval authority unclear or inconsistent \u2014 different people approve the same thing depending on who asks
No audit trail connecting the approval decision to the person who made it and when
What We Deliver

Service Scope

01
Role-Based Routing

Route approval requests based on type, amount, department, and customer tier. The right approver gets the request without the requester needing to know the org chart.

02
Escalation & SLA Tracking

Configurable SLAs for each approval type with automatic escalation when deadlines are missed. No approval sits in a queue without accountability.

03
Multi-Level Approvals

Sequential and parallel approval chains for requests that need multiple sign-offs \u2014 purchasing above threshold, pricing exceptions, capital expenditures, and customer credit changes.

04
Mobile & Email Approval

Approvers can review and approve from email or mobile without logging into the system. Reduce approval cycle time by meeting approvers where they are.

05
Delegation & Coverage

Automatic delegation rules when approvers are out of office. Coverage assignments ensure approvals keep moving during vacations, travel, and shift changes.

06
Audit Trail & Reporting

Every approval request, decision, escalation, and delegation is logged with timestamps and approver identity. Compliance-ready audit trail for every workflow.

Approval Process Inventory

Catalog every approval workflow in the organization \u2014 purchasing, pricing, credit, returns, capital, and operational. Document current routing, authority levels, and bottlenecks.

02

Design digital workflows with routing rules, approval thresholds, escalation timers, and delegation policies. Get stakeholder sign-off on authority levels and SLAs.

03
Build & Integrate

Build workflows and integrate with your ERP, email, and mobile platforms. Connect approval outcomes to downstream system actions \u2014 PO release, price override posting, credit limit change.

04
Pilot & Refine

Deploy high-volume workflows first, measure cycle time and compliance, and refine routing and escalation rules based on real usage patterns.

05
Rollout & Monitoring

Expand to remaining workflows with SLA dashboards, bottleneck reporting, and compliance audit reporting. Continuous refinement as organizational roles and policies evolve.
