Digital Document Approval
Automated approval workflows with 75% faster approval cycles
The Challenge
Document chaos is everyday reality in many organizations. Contracts, purchase orders, budget requests, and internal approvals travel through endless email chains as PDF attachments. Nobody knows exactly where a document is or who needs to sign it next. Important contracts are delayed by weeks because approvers are traveling or emails land in spam folders. Duplicate versions create confusion, and the compliance department cannot demonstrate complete audit trails. A single delayed contract can cost a major client worth €500,000. Manual tracking ties up two full-time employees who do nothing but write emails and search through folders.
Our Solution
A fully digitized document management system with intelligent approval workflows solves these problems. Documents are stored centrally in Google Drive or SharePoint and automatically versioned. Each document type triggers a predefined approval workflow that involves the right people in the right sequence. DocuSign enables legally binding digital signatures from anywhere. Automatic deputy rules kick in during absences. Escalations start automatically after defined time windows. The system provides complete transparency: everyone sees in real-time where a document stands and what happens next. Slack notifications ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
