Gain control of your expense approvals and boost efficiency with flexible approval workflows that meet your organization’s unique needs.

As companies grow, their expense approval policies become more and more complex. They need to implement unique approval workflows that may span departments, spend type, GL category, and more, but don’t have the tools to manage it all. This leaves many Finance teams burdened with manually tracking and enforcing those approval processes.

Airbase’s first-of-its-kind spend management platform solves this problem.

With Advanced Approvals you can create custom approval workflows that automatically route requests to the right approvers at the right time. Our flexible solution allows you to easily create custom rules and automatically route approvals to one or more approvers in any sequence that matches your policy.

Benefits of Airbase advanced approvals:

Easily design and automate flexible workflows for different types of spend, departments, locations, requesters, and more.
Build greater efficiency into your business by ensuring approvals never sit idle waiting for a single approver.

Gain greater control and flexibility by setting up approval requests in parallel, in sequence, or by any member of an approval group.

How it works:

Advanced Approvals helps you design the custom approval workflows that meet your unique needs, whether simple or complex.

3 easy steps to build your approval workflows:

  1. Create approval groups with multiple stakeholders. Define if requesters need approval from one individual or all of the members, and whether requests will be approved sequentially or concurrently.
  2. Easily create rules, define when they will be applied, and who the approvers (or approval groups) are. Rules can be based on the employee’s department, GL category of the expense, the type of tool or service the employee is requesting, and more.
  3. Ensure rapid approvals through Slack, mobile and web options.

Use case example:

All software spend must be audited and approved by one member of the IT-Auditors Group before the request is sent to the employee’s manager for final approval.

This is probably one of the best implementations for approval flows I’ve ever seen and I’ve used everything from Concur to Bill.com to NetSuite. This is just amazing.
