How Do I Give Finance Visibility Into Pending Approvals Without Chasing People?
You give finance this visibility by granting direct access to a dashboard showing every pending approval and how long it's been waiting, instead of messaging approvers individually. On Jestor, this runs through a dashboard connected to Approvals data.
Finance needing to know the status of pending approvals, and having to message each approver individually to find out, wastes time that a shared dashboard would eliminate entirely.
What chasing approvers for status costs
- Time spent messaging individual approvers just to check on status
- Delayed answers while waiting for a busy approver to respond
- No single view showing every pending approval across the company
- Frustration on both sides from repeated status-check interruptions
How dashboard-based approval visibility works
- Every pending approval appears on a shared dashboard automatically
- The dashboard shows how long each request has been waiting
- Finance checks the dashboard directly instead of messaging anyone
- Stalled approvals become visible without needing to ask about them
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Direct dashboard access removes the need to chase individual approvers
- Finance gets an always-current view instead of waiting on replies
- Visibility into stalled requests helps address bottlenecks proactively
- This scales from a small approval volume to a high-throughput operation
| Chasing approvers | Dashboard visibility |
