The Finance Headaches Episode 4 | Why approvals fall through the cracks

Approval processes that live in inboxes and chat threads create a familiar set of problems: invoices sitting unactioned, purchase orders delayed, no audit trail, and finance chasing approvals that should never have needed chasing in the first place.

‍

In this session, iplicit Solutions Consultant Steven Jones walks through the root causes of approval breakdown and demonstrates how iplicit's authorisation workflows bring the entire process into the system, with the right controls at every stage.

You will see how iplicit handles this in practice:

• Customisable approval chains: Set rules based on value, currency, creator, or date -- so transactions are automatically routed to the right person or group at each threshold
• Multi-channel notifications: Approvers are alerted via email, mobile app, and in-product notifications, so nothing sits waiting unnoticed
• Substitutions: If an approver is away, their authorisation level is easily reassigned to a colleague for the duration -- no gaps, no delays
• Full audit trail: Every approval, rejection, and action is recorded, giving finance complete visibility of what happened and when
