Anyone who’s worked in a company knows approvals can be a bottleneck.  
Requests get lost in emails, manual forms pile up, and decisions take too long.  
But in 2025, with **no-code and BPM platforms**, it’s now possible to **automate approvals and internal workflows** without depending on IT.

### 1️⃣ The problem with manual approvals

As companies grow, the number of requests skyrockets — and without structure, operations slow down.  
Purchase approvals, reimbursements, and contracts go through multiple departments, creating unnecessary friction.

### 2️⃣ How automation fixes it

Automation applies **approval rules automatically**.  
For example:

- If the value is under $200, it goes straight to the manager;
- Above that, it routes to the director;
- Once approved, the request is sent to finance automatically.

No emails, no manual follow-ups — everything flows seamlessly.

### 3️⃣ The tools that make it happen

With platforms like **Jestor**, you can design custom approval workflows without code.  
Define steps, assign responsible roles, and trigger automatic actions at each stage.  
You can also integrate these workflows with **Oracle, Salesforce, or Omie**, syncing financial and operational data in real time.

### 4️⃣ BPM as the foundation

**BPM (Business Process Management)** ensures structure before automation.  
It defines clear stages, responsibilities, and logic, so automation improves visibility instead of creating chaos.

Automating approvals isn’t just about speed — it’s about **freeing teams to focus on smarter, faster decision-making**.
