How to replace manual approvals with automated workflows with tiers

Replacing manual approvals with automated tiered workflows means creating a process that routes each request to the right approver, records the decision, and integrates the result into the ERP — without email, without WhatsApp, and without risk of losing information. Jestor does this without code.

Why do manual approvals cost so much?

Email and message-based approvals share the same problem: they depend on memory, goodwill, and the availability of whoever receives the request. There's no rule for who approves what. No deadline. No formal record.

The cost shows up in incorrect payments, unjustified expenses, and the time finance spends fixing what could have been validated at the source.

Signs your company needs to make the switch

Approvals arrive via WhatsApp or email with no standard format
Payments leave without any record of who authorized them
Finance discovers problems only at month-end close
No escalation when the approver doesn't respond
No auditable history of decisions made
