AUTOMATED APPROVAL WORKFLOWS

Approvals crawl through email chains and chase-ups. Multi-level sign-offs stall on whoever is out of office, and nobody can see where a request is stuck.

Business Question

"A standard change that takes ten minutes to make takes ten days to approve — where does all that time actually go?"

What SPoG Does

  • Routes approvals automatically by rule — value, risk, region — to the right approvers in the right order.
  • Notifies, reminds and escalates automatically so requests never sit silently in an inbox.
  • Shows exactly where every approval is stuck and how long each stage really takes.
