How it works
Smart approval routing that adapts to your workflow
Approval matrices that make sense.
Create complex approval workflows in minutes without scripting or IT involvement. Route by amount, department, class, subsidiary, or any field combination. Configure approvals for vendor bills, payment batches, purchase orders, accrual journal entries, or any NetSuite transaction. The system adapts to your business logic, not the other way around.
Approve wherever you are, while the data stays where it is.
Approvers get full context via secure email including invoice details, attachments, and approval history. Approve or reject any transaction—from vendor bills and purchase orders to payment batches and journal entries—from any device while maintaining complete audit trails inside NetSuite, where they belong.
Enterprise controls that adapt to growth.
Expand approval hierarchies, modify routing rules, and handle complex exceptions while maintaining bulletproof audit trails. Every workflow change is tracked, every approval decision is logged, and compliance documentation scales automatically with your business requirements. Built to evolve with your business, not constrain it.
