Illustrative figures — your dashboard reflects your own connected data.
Purchase requests over a certain amount usually need more than one sign-off — a manager, then finance, sometimes a director too. Handled over email, that chain is easy to lose track of, and even easier to leave with no real record once it's done.
Set up a purchase approval workflow once, and every request over your threshold routes through the same chain automatically, with the full history — amount, approver, timestamp, comment — kept permanently against the request.
How it works
- Threshold-based routing — different chains for different spend levels
- Amount and description captured with the original request, not editable after submission
- Finance sees exactly what's pending their sign-off, with nothing to chase manually
- Full audit trail for every purchase, ready for a finance review or audit
