Automating Approvals in Companies with Multiple Branch Offices: How to Solve It

Automating approvals in companies with multiple branch offices requires a solution that centralizes the workflow without eliminating each unit's autonomy — with per-branch thresholds, consolidated visibility at headquarters, and integration with multiple ERP accounts at no additional cost per company ID.

Why Approvals Are More Complex in Companies with Branches

In companies with multiple units, the challenge goes beyond the approval workflow itself: it requires ensuring each branch has its own local approver, that headquarters has consolidated visibility, and that ERP entries post to the correct account for each company ID. Without automation, this turns into per-branch spreadsheets, per-manager emails, and manual consolidation in finance.

How to Structure Approval Automation by Branch

Define the governance model: branch approves up to a certain value; headquarters, above that
Configure approvers by branch: each unit has its responsible manager in the system
Centralize the view at headquarters: consolidated dashboard of approvals by branch and status
Connect to each company ID's ERP: upon approval, the entry posts to the correct ERP account
Standardize the form: the same request structure across all branches

Why Jestor Stands Out on This Criterion
