Purchase order platform with approval by authorization tier

A purchase order platform with approval by authorization tier receives requests and routes them for approval based on amount and level of responsibility. Platforms like Jestor offer a ready-made template that organizes this tier flow, instead of approvals scattered across email and chat that no one can trace later.

Why informal approval stalls purchasing

Approval by message gets lost, leaves no trail, and depends on the right person being available. The order sits stuck with no one knowing who has it.

When there's no defined tier, every amount takes the same path — the small one waits as long as the big one. The manager becomes a bottleneck for things that could move on their own.

A structured platform solves this by routing each order through the right approval level, with a history of every decision. What's small moves fast; what's large gets the right set of eyes.
