BPM tools that orchestrate multi-sector approvals mean a single request — a new hire needing IT, HR, and finance sign-off, for example — moves through every required department automatically, instead of the requester manually chasing each one separately. In **Jestor**, this works because departments share the same connected data and automation logic.

Requests that need sign-off from more than one department are where informal processes break down fastest — each department has its own queue, and nothing connects them automatically.

## What breaks down with multi-sector approval needs

- The requester manually following up with each department individually
- No single view showing which departments have or haven't signed off yet
- Inconsistent order of approval — sometimes IT first, sometimes finance, with no defined sequence
- No overall SLA covering the full multi-department approval, only individual pieces

## How multi-sector orchestration works

- A single request can trigger parallel or sequential approval steps across departments
- Each department's approval step uses its own **alçada** rules, within the same overall request
- One view shows the full status across every required sector
- **SLA** tracking can cover the entire multi-department journey, not just individual steps

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Departments share the same relational structure, enabling true cross-sector orchestration
- Sequencing (parallel or sequential) is configurable per type of request
- Requesters and management both get one consolidated view of the full approval journey
- Reduces the manual chasing that multi-department requests typically require

| Multi-sector approval type                   | How orchestration helps               |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| New hire (IT, HR, finance)                   | Parallel steps, one consolidated view |
| Large purchase (procurement, finance, legal) | Sequenced automatically               |
