Approvals that match your business

Sequential or parallel, single or multi-tier - approval chains move automatically through every level you define, without manual intervention.

Rules-based routing

Set thresholds by amount, vendor, or department. The right approver gets the right request without anyone deciding who that should be.

refresh-cw-02

Auto-substitution

When an approver is unavailable, the chain doesn't stall. Approvals reroute automatically to a designated substitute and keep moving.

divide-02

Segregation of duties

No single person controls a full transaction from request to approval. Every decision requires independent sign-off, by design.
