**Jestor** fills common gaps in a traditional **ERP** around approval flows, **AI** use, and operational flexibility — areas where the accounting side of an ERP is usually solid, but the day-to-day process layer falls short.

### Why the ERP alone doesn't solve everything

An ERP is strong on the tax and accounting side, but it usually wasn't designed to accommodate custom approval flows, business-specific automations, or artificial intelligence in day-to-day operations.

### What Jestor complements relative to the ERP

- Configurable approval flows with tiers, without relying on a closed ERP module
- An **AI** layer to generate documents, read attachments, and support operational decisions
- Flexibility to build company-specific processes, without depending on the ERP vendor
- Native integration that lets the ERP keep doing what it already does well, on the tax and accounting side

### How Jestor connects to an existing ERP

1. Keep the current ERP running normally for the tax and accounting side
2. Set up the missing approval flows and operational processes in Jestor
3. Integrate natively with the ERP, like **Omie**, to post data automatically
4. Use Jestor's **AI** layer to speed up tasks the ERP doesn't cover

### ERP approval tiers, handled on top

This kind of complement is exactly what characterizes **ERP approval tiers** inside Jestor: the tax side stays with the ERP, but approval, flexibility, and AI come from Jestor.

### Table Summary

| **Tax and accounting** | Strong          | Not applicable, the ERP keeps doing this |
| **Tiered approval**    | Usually limited | Configurable                             |
| **AI in the process**  | Usually absent  | Native                                   |
