When Route Planning Meets Approval Automation
Let's get real: your sales team lives in Badger Maps because it turns geographic data into revenue. But every time they need to create a new account, update territories, or adjust client permissions? Cue the email chains, Slack pings, and that one VP who's always on vacation. That's where ApproveThis comes in - not to replace your CRM, but to handle the bureaucratic sludge so your sellers can get back to selling.
When you connect Badger Maps to ApproveThis through Zapier, you're not just linking software. You're creating an automatic handoff between the people who find opportunities and the people who need to greenlight them. No more copy-pasting data between systems. No more "Did you get my approval request?" follow-ups. Just deals moving forward while everyone stays in their lane.
Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies
If you're managing 50-5,000 employees, you've hit that sweet spot where manual processes start crumbling but enterprise solutions feel like overkill. Here's where the integration shines:
- Sales ops keeps control without becoming a bottleneck
- Field teams get faster decisions while stuck in airport lounges
- Finance doesn't freak out about unauthorized discounts
Best part? Approvers don't need Badger Maps licenses. Your accounting manager can approve a territory realignment from their Gmail without needing a crash course in sales mapping software. Same goes for clients or vendors - external approval without the login headaches.
Real Workflows for Actual Humans
1. New Account Vetting That Doesn't Suck
Scenario: Your rep lands a 500-location retail chain. In Badger Maps, that's 500 new pins on the map. But wait - does this client get your enterprise pricing? Who signs off on custom service SLAs?
The Fix: Zapier triggers an ApproveThis workflow the second a new Badger account is created. The request auto-populates with deal size, location count, and rep notes. It routes to:
- Sales VP for pricing exception approval
- Legal for contract review
- Ops for resource allocation check
No account activation until all boxes are checked. And if someone's OOO? ApproveThis' vacation delegation bumps it to their backup. Field reps see the status right in Badger Maps notes.
2. Territory Updates Without the Turf Wars
Problem: Merging two sales regions because someone quit. In Badger Maps, it's a few clicks. In reality, you need regional managers to sign off, HR to confirm headcount changes, and comp team to adjust quotas.
The Fix: Any Badger Maps account update triggers parallel approvals. East Coast manager approves via email, HR director reviews in the ApproveThis dashboard, comp team gets a Slack alert. Only when all agree does the map actually change. Audit trail? Built-in.
3. Client Permissions That Don't Haunt You
Nightmare fuel: An intern edits a Fortune 500 client's service tiers in Badger Maps. With ApproveThis, any permission change over $X in ARR requires CRO sign-off first. Threshold rules auto-approve small tweaks but escalate the big stuff. Sleep better.
Setup That Won't Make You Hate Tech
If you can order DoorDash, you can connect these systems:
- Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
- Choose Badger Maps as trigger app
- Pick ApproveThis as action app
- Map fields (takes 2 minutes)
Pro tip: Start with one workflow - maybe new account approvals. Let the team see how much time they save, then expand to other processes. ApproveThis' conditional logic means you can get fancy later without rebuilding from scratch.
Who Actually Benefits Here?
Sales Managers
Stop playing operator between reps and leadership. Custom workflows mean new hire accounts get auto-approved up to $50K, while enterprise deals route upstairs. Real-time dashboards show bottlenecks before QBRs blow up.
Operations Teams
Badger Maps tells you where assets are; ApproveThis tells you why they're moving. Link equipment checkouts to location updates. Get maintenance approvals before trucks roll out. Sync inventory thresholds with purchase approvals.
Finance Nerds
Approved discount in ApproveThis? Badger Maps auto-applies it to the client's map profile. No more chasing down which deals used which promotions. Plus, audit-ready records without the spreadsheet gymnastics.
But Wait - There's Actual Features
(No cheesy infomercial music, we promise)
Email approvals let execs sign off from phones without another app. Calculated fields auto-flag deals needing CFO review. Approval groups prevent four VPs from debating a $500 spend. And if your CRO hates process? Set thresholds where small deals auto-approve but big ones ping their inbox.
It's not about adding more software - it's about making Badger Maps work smarter for companies that outgrew "just winging it."
Cool, But Does This Break Often?
Zapier handles over 5 billion tasks monthly. ApproveThis integrates with 2,000+ apps. Badger Maps stays in their lane as your sales command center. Translation: This isn't some duct-taped integration that fails when someone updates Chrome.
Most clients set it up in an afternoon, forget it's there, and just reap the "Hey, why are deals closing faster?" benefits. The kind of tech that works so well, people stop complaining about IT for five whole minutes.
Your Move, Approval Heroes
Look - you could keep herding approval cats manually. Or you could connect Badger Maps to ApproveThis and actually trust that the right people are signing off on the right things. Less babysitting software, more selling.
Spin up a free ApproveThis account, plug it into your Badger Maps via Zapier, and see how many pointless meetings it kills. Or book a 12-minute demo if you prefer seeing the magic first.
Either way, your sales ops team might finally stop giving you that "I swear to god" look in standups. Worth a shot, no?
