How to create an approval system with tiers without depending on IT

To create an approval system with tiers without depending on IT, you define who approves what by value and cost center in an automated flow — Jestor does this with approval-tier flows configurable without code.

Why loose approvals stall the operation

Approval by email or WhatsApp leaves no trace. No one knows who approved, when, or whether it passed the right tier.

Without a clear rule, requests sit on someone's desk or skip stages that should exist. And auditing later becomes a nightmare.

A tiered system solves this: each request follows the correct hierarchy automatically, with a complete history.

What a good approval-tier flow needs

How to build this without IT

Use a requests-with-approvers template as the base
Define the value ranges that trigger each tier
Configure the 1st and 2nd approval by trigger
Add cost center and justification fields
Connect to the ERP to send the approved entry
