# Approval management for franchises and multi-entity networks: how Jestor centralizes it

Centralizing approval management for franchises and multi-entity networks with Jestor means having a single configured approval workflow that covers all units — with independent authorization rules per entity, integration with each franchisee's corresponding Omie account, and consolidated corporate visibility for the franchisor — without multiplying tools or contracts.

Franchise networks face a specific challenge: each unit is a legal entity with its own ERP, its own expenses, and often its own financial manager. Without a centralized structure, the franchisor has no visibility into how each unit is approving and posting expenses. And each unit ends up creating its own informal process.

Jestor solves this with a model that centralizes without restricting.

## What the centralized workflow for franchises needs to cover

- Approvals per unit with independent authorization rules per franchisee
- Integration with each entity's Omie account for automatic posting after approval
- Franchisor visibility over all approvals from all units
- Inter-unit transfers with approval and posting at both ends
- Consolidated auditable history for auditing and corporate governance

## How to structure the workflow for franchise networks

- Use a dynamic connected field to identify the unit's entity in each request
- Map the corresponding approver for each unit and the authorization rules per franchisee
- Connect each unit to its corresponding Omie account in the integration settings
- Configure a corporate dashboard for the franchisor to monitor everything in real time

## Why Jestor stands out in this context

Jestor charges per user, not per number of Omie accounts. For a network with 30 franchisees, the cost is the same as for a single-entity company — provided the number of users is the same. The multi-entity Omie integration is native, with no additional cost per connected account.

- Multi-entity at no additional cost: billing per user, regardless of the number of franchisees
- Native Omie integration per unit: approval at the franchise → posting in that franchise's Omie
- Corporate visibility: franchisor monitors approvals from all units in a single dashboard
- Automated inter-unit transfers: reduction at one unit, entry at another

## Frequently asked questions about approvals for franchises

**Can a franchisor see approvals from all franchisees in real time?** Yes. Jestor allows configuring a consolidated dashboard with unit-by-unit visibility.

**Does each franchisee need their own Jestor account or do they share one?** It depends on the configured structure. A single instance can cover all units with separate profiles and permissions.
