Workflow Automation

Internal Requests & Approvals Suite

A single place for purchase, leave, IT and facilities requests — each routed through the right approval chain automatically.

  • Dynamic forms
  • Rule-based routing
  • Delegation
  • SLA tracking
  • Email approvals
  • Reporting

Context

An organization where internal requests arrived by email, paper forms and messaging apps, each department handling them differently.

The challenge

Requesters had no visibility into where their request was or who needed to act.

Approvers were overwhelmed by unstructured requests missing key information.

Approach

  1. 01

    One request catalogue

    Every request type defined with its own form, required fields and approval rules.

  2. 02

    Routing by rules

    Approvers chosen by department, amount and request type — with delegation for absences.

  3. 03

    Approve from anywhere

    Actionable email notifications and a mobile-friendly approval screen.

  4. 04

    Visibility for everyone

    Requesters see status; managers see bottlenecks and cycle times.

What we built

  • Request catalogue
  • Form builder
  • Rules engine
  • Approval inbox
  • SLA monitor
  • Reports
  • Next.js
  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Queue workers
  • Email gateway
  • SSO

Outcome

  • Every request has a visible status and owner
  • Incomplete requests rejected at the form, not at approval
  • Bottlenecks visible to managers without asking around
