ApproveThis manages your Agiliron Integration approvals.

When Approvals Meet Omnichannel Muscle

Let's get real - if you're moving physical products through multiple sales channels, your approval processes are probably held together by email threads and crossed fingers. Agiliron helps you sell everywhere while managing from one place. ApproveThis makes sure decisions actually get made without chasing people down. Together? They're like a warehouse forklift for bureaucratic bottlenecks.

Here's the deal: 83% of companies lose money weekly due to delayed approvals (IDC, 2023). When you connect Agiliron's inventory/sales data with ApproveThis' decision automation through Zapier, you're not just streamlining ops - you're preventing revenue leaks at every turn.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Product Companies

Agiliron users typically have 12-50 SKUs across 3+ sales channels. That means purchase orders needing buyer sign-off, custom pricing requests from distributors, and RMA approvals that can't wait. ApproveThis handles the human decision layer without requiring approvers to log into yet another system.

Key advantages:

• Approvers only need email - critical when working with 3PLs or external sales reps
• Automatic escalations when purchase requests hit budget thresholds
• Real-time sync between approval statuses and Agiliron's order/inventory records

Real-World Workflows That Actually Move Inventory

1. New Distributor Account Vetting

Scenario: A Midwest plumbing supplier uses Agiliron to manage wholesale accounts. Every new distributor application triggers:

1. Agiliron → Zapier → ApproveThis request to sales manager
2. Auto-check against minimum order commitments via Calculated Fields
3. Approval → Auto-create Agiliron account with tiered pricing

Without this: Sales ops manually compares Excel sheets, loses 3 days/week on vetting.

2. Custom Bulk Order Approvals

An outdoor gear company gets 50+ "urgent" requests monthly from retailers wanting to lock-in preseason pricing. Their setup:

• Agiliron quote → ApproveThis workflow with 48hr SLA
• Auto-approve if >20% margin via Approval Thresholds
• Denied requests trigger Agiliron CRM tasks for sales team

Result: 22% faster order processing during peak season.

3. Cross-Departmental Inventory Buys

A food packaging manufacturer links ApproveThis to Agiliron's PO system:

• Procurement requests require plant manager + CFO approval
• Approval Groups ensure consensus between locations
• Auto-update Agiliron lead times based on approval date

Eliminated $140k in duplicate raw material orders last quarter.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Connect Agiliron and ApproveThis in 3 steps:

1. In Zapier, set Agiliron's "New Account" as trigger
2. Map critical fields (Credit Limit, Tax Exempt Status, etc.) to ApproveThis
3. Set approval rules - consensus vs sequential, auto-escalations

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' Calculated Fields to auto-flag high-risk accounts based on D&B data synced from Agiliron.

The Nuts and Bolts You Care About

ApprovalThis plays nice with Agiliron's API 40 without requiring:

• Additional Agiliron licenses for approvers
• Manual data exports/imports
• IT involvement for most workflows

Translation: Your 3PL manager in Nebraska can approve freight charges without getting a Agiliron login. Your CFO gets emailed PDF summaries for high-value approvals. Everyone stops bugging IT about "just one more SAP report".

Getting Started (Without the BS)

Try these first:

1. Connect Agiliron sales orders to approval workflows for custom packaging requests
2. Auto-approve returns under $500 using Approval Thresholds
3. Sync approved vendor contracts to Agiliron's PO module

If you can handle setting up a Shopify store, you can configure this integration. Seriously - we've seen warehouse managers do it during lunch breaks.

Bottom Line for Product Businesses

ApproveThis isn't another system to manage - it's the glue between Agiliron and human decisions. When your buyers, ops leads, and execs can approve critical path items directly from their inbox (or Slack, Teams, carrier pigeon), you stop losing days to "I thought you signed off on this?"
