Invoices stuck in approval limbo? Not anymore.

From Chaos to Clarity in Approvals

See how structured workflows replace ad-hoc approval chasing

Without OneFinOps
  • Email chains with "please approve" buried in inboxes
  • WhatsApp follow-ups -- "Did you see the invoice I sent?"
  • No idea who has the invoice right now or when it was last touched
  • Approvers on leave? Invoices wait indefinitely
  • Vendor penalties from delayed payments caused by slow approvals
Average approval cycle: 5-7 business days
With OneFinOps
  • Structured workflows route to the right approver automatically
  • SLA tracking with real-time status on every pending item
  • Full visibility -- see exactly where each invoice is in the pipeline
  • Auto-delegation and escalation when approvers are unavailable
  • Mobile approvals with push notifications for instant action
Average approval cycle: Under 4 hours
Core Capabilities

Build, Track, and Approve -- From Anywhere

Three pillars that make approval bottlenecks a thing of the past

01. Workflow Builder

Visual Workflow Builder

Design approval flows visually with drag-and-drop rules. Set conditions based on invoice amount, vendor type, cost center, or department -- and the system routes each invoice to the right chain automatically.

  • Drag-and-drop rule builder -- no coding required
  • Conditional routing based on amount thresholds (e.g., above ₹1 lakh needs CFO)
  • Sequential and parallel approval paths
  • Test mode to simulate workflows before going live

02. SLA Tracking

SLA Tracking and Escalation

Define time limits for each approval level. When a deadline is approaching, the approver gets a nudge. If they miss it, the system escalates to their manager or a designated backup.

  • Configurable SLAs per approval level (e.g., 4 hours for Manager, 8 hours for CFO)
  • Automatic escalation chains with customizable rules
  • Bottleneck analytics -- see which approvers are consistently slow
  • SLA breach dashboard with historical performance trends

03. Mobile Approvals

Mobile Approvals

Approvers do not need to be at their desk. Push notifications arrive on their phone with invoice details, and they can approve or reject with a single tap. Even works offline -- actions sync when connectivity returns.

  • One-tap approve or reject from push notification
  • Full invoice details and matching info on mobile
  • Offline queue -- approve now, sync later
  • Add comments and request changes from mobile
