How to automate approvals and internal workflows without relying on IT

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.

With Jestor, you can automate workflows, connect teams, and build internal systems your way — all without code and with AI support.
