Creating an approval hierarchy without IT is possible with Jestor: the platform lets you define who approves what, for how much, and under what conditions — in the visual interface, without code, configured by the operations or finance team themselves.

## Why do companies avoid structuring approval hierarchies?

The most common answer is: "it seems complicated to implement." The second: "we'd need IT to set it up."

With no-code platforms like Jestor, that barrier no longer exists. Anyone on the operations team can map and configure the hierarchy in hours, not weeks.
