Modern businesses face significant inefficiencies in handling multi-level approval workflows. These include:
Manual Approvals and Delays
Traditional approval processes rely on emails, paper-based approvals, or unstructured digital workflows.
This results in slow approvals, leading to missed deadlines and project delays.
Inconsistent Approval Criteria
Different teams or managers may interpret approval policies differently.
This inconsistency causes errors, delays, and, in some cases, non-compliance with regulations.
Lack of Audit Trails
Many businesses struggle with tracking historical approval records.
This makes compliance audits challenging and increases legal risks.
Approval Escalations
Complex requests often require multi-level escalations, consuming managerial time.
Delays in escalation lead to stalled projects and inefficiencies.
Communication Gaps
Miscommunication among approvers, requesters, and stakeholders leads to confusion and errors.
Critical decisions may get overlooked or misinterpreted.
Limited Scalability
As businesses grow, manual approval workflows become difficult to manage.
Handling an increasing volume of requests manually leads to inefficiencies.
These challenges highlight the need for an intelligent, automated solution to improve approvals, reduce errors, and enhance team collaboration.
How FieldMaster.ai Simplifies and Accelerates Property Loan Approvals
Step 1: Initiating an Approval Request
A user submits a request for approval through FieldMaster’s interface.
The request is categorized based on type (e.g., purchase, expense, contract, hiring, etc.).
Predefined rules automatically assign the request to the appropriate approval workflow.
Example:
A procurement officer submits a request to purchase office equipment worth $60,000. The system identifies this as a high-value procurement request and routes it to the designated approval levels.
Step 2: Automated Approval Path Assignment
FieldMaster dynamically assigns an approval path using AI-based logic:
Identify Approval Levels
The system checks organizational policies to determine necessary approval levels.
Example:
L1: Department Manager for requests below $10,000
L2: Senior Manager for requests between $10,000–$50,000
L3: Executive Approval for requests above $50,000
Assign Approvers Based on Roles
The system matches the request with the appropriate approvers based on department, hierarchy, and company policies.
Notify Approvers
Once assigned, approvers receive real-time notifications via email, mobile app, or dashboard alerts.
Step 3: Review and Approval Process
Each approver has the following options:
Approve: The request is approved and automatically moves to the next step. Reject: The request is denied, and the requester is notified with a reason. Request Modification: The approver requests additional information before making a decision.
Key Features Enhancing Review Efficiency:
Automated reminders: Ensures approvers do not forget pending requests.
Mobile approvals: Enables managers to approve requests on-the-go.
Approval rationale logging: Approvers can leave comments explaining their decision.
Step 4: Dynamic Escalation for Delayed Approvals
If an approval request is not acted upon within a set timeframe:
The system automatically sends follow-up notifications to the approver.
If there is no response, the request is escalated to the next level of approval.
The requester is kept informed of the status via real-time updates.
Example:
A contract approval is pending with a Senior Manager for more than 48 hours.
FieldMaster automatically escalates it to the Executive level to prevent project delays.
Step 5: Real-Time Tracking and Collaboration
