Approval management

Approvals that route themselves to the right person.

Purchase orders, expenses, discounts, leave, and sign-offs in one clear process, with every decision recorded.

What is an approval management system?

An approval management system is software that takes a request, such as a purchase order, expense claim, discount, or leave application, and routes it to the right approvers based on rules like amount, department, or branch. Each decision is time-stamped and stored, so there is a clear audit trail.

In many growing businesses, approvals happen over WhatsApp, email, and phone calls. Requests get lost, nobody knows what is pending, and there is no record of who agreed to what. SETITUP builds approval systems that fit your existing hierarchy and rules.

What changes.

  • No more lost requests

    BeforeRequests buried in WhatsApp threads and inboxes.
    AfterEvery request in one queue with a clear status.
  • Rules, not guesswork

    AfterRequests route by amount, department, and branch automatically.
  • Faster decisions

    BeforeWork waits until the approver is back at a desk.
    AfterApprove or reject from a phone in one tap.
  • Full audit trail

    BeforeNo record of who agreed to what, or when.
    AfterEvery decision time-stamped with comments and attachments.

Approvals we commonly build.

  • Purchase orders

    Multi-level approval by amount, vendor, and cost centre.

  • Expense claims

    Receipts, policy checks, and reimbursement status in one place.

  • Discounts and pricing

    Sales discounts above a limit go to a manager before the quote is sent.

  • Leave and attendance

    Leave requests, balances, and team calendars.

  • Payments and credit

    Vendor payments and customer credit limits approved before money moves.

  • Documents and sign-offs

    Contracts, designs, and quality checks signed off by the right people.

Approval system questions

Can approvers respond from their phone?

Yes. Approvers get a notification and can approve, reject, or comment from their phone without logging into a desktop system.

Can rules change as we grow?

Yes. Approval limits, approvers, and routing rules are configurable, so you can change them without rebuilding the system.

What if an approver is unavailable?

Requests can be delegated or escalated automatically after a set time, so work does not wait on one person.

Does it connect to our ERP or accounting software?

Yes. Approved requests can create records in your ERP or accounting tool directly.
