Approvals


Decisions made faster. Approvals tracked completely.

Enterprise approvals in Bangladesh still run on email chains, WhatsApp forwards, and physical signature folders. Approvals gives every approval request a structured workflow — tracked, escalated automatically, and audited completely.

What Approvals solves

Ask any enterprise in Bangladesh how long it takes to get a purchase order approved above a certain threshold. The answer is usually "it depends" — which means nobody knows, it's inconsistent, and critical decisions are delayed by process failure, not business complexity.

Approvals fixes the process. Not by simplifying the decision — by eliminating the chaos around it.

How it works

01

Request submission

Any team member submits an approval request through the Approvals interface. They attach documents, fill out a structured form (customised per request type), and submit. The system determines the correct approval chain automatically based on the request type, amount, department, and policy rules.

02

Intelligent routing

Approvals routes the request to the first approver with full context — the document, the requester's history, similar past approvals, and a policy check summary. Approvers see everything they need to decide. Nothing more, nothing less.

03

Escalation and reminders

If an approver hasn't acted within the defined SLA, Approvals escalates automatically. SLAs are configurable per request type and per approver level. No chasing. No forgotten emails.

04

Decision and audit trail

Every approval, rejection, and comment is logged immutably. The complete audit trail is available to compliance, finance, and management at any time — searchable, exportable, and reportable.
