ApproveThis manages your e-manage|ONE Integration approvals.

When Approval Automation Meets Dealer Management

For furniture dealers managing complex projects across North America and Asia, e-manage|ONE has become the operational backbone. But even the best systems hit bottlenecks when human decisions slow down processes. This is where ApproveThis transforms workflows through Zapier-powered automation - creating a complete system where operational data triggers smart approvals, and approvals drive immediate action.

Together, these platforms solve three critical challenges:

• Eliminating approval delays that stall project timelines
• Maintaining compliance across multi-location teams
• Enabling external partners to approve requests without system access

Core Strengths Combined

e-manage|ONE's Operational Depth

As a specialized dealer operating system, e-manage|ONE excels at managing the unique needs of furniture businesses - from showroom projects to overseas manufacturing coordination. Its project tracking, company management, and sales lead tools form the system of record for daily operations.

ApproveThis' Decision Automation

ApproveThis adds structured decision-making layers through features like conditional approval paths, automatic escalation rules, and email-based approvals. Crucially, approvers only need email access - no additional licenses for e-manage|ONE or other systems.

Four Transformative Use Cases

1. New Client Onboarding

When sales teams create new company records for furniture showroom clients, ApproveThis automatically routes:

• Credit approval requests to finance
• Project scope reviews to operations
• Design approvals to creative teams

Real impact: A Texas-based dealer reduced client onboarding from 14 days to 72 hours by automating cross-departmental approvals triggered directly from e-manage|ONE company records.

2. Project Kickstart Automation

Approved design concepts in ApproveThis automatically create e-manage|ONE projects with:

• Pre-filled budgets from approval calculations
• Auto-assigned teams based on project type
• Milestone deadlines tied to approval dates

Example: A Vancouver manufacturer links custom furniture approvals to production schedules, ensuring workshops receive specs within 15 minutes of client sign-off.

3. Sales Lead Qualification

High-value leads from trade shows or designer partnerships trigger:

• Margin approval checks before quoting
• Design compatibility reviews
• Installment plan authorization

Result: Chicago retailers report 40% fewer pricing errors by requiring financial approvals before sending custom quotes through e-manage|ONE.

4. Post-Approval Action

Every approval decision in ApproveThis updates e-manage|ONE:

• Approved purchase orders auto-create vendor tasks
• Denied requests trigger client re-engagement workflows
• Conditional approvals update project risk registers

Impact: New York dealers automatically adjust 30% of projects based on approval feedback, maintaining tighter budget control.

Team-Specific Benefits

Finance Teams

Approval thresholds automatically escalate high-value requests while auto-approving routine expenses. Real-time calculations in approval forms prevent budget overruns.

Project Managers

See approval statuses alongside project timelines in e-manage|ONE. Vacation delegation ensures design approvals never stall during peak seasons.

Sales Teams

Embed approval steps directly in quote workflows without switching systems. Approvers get mobile-friendly email links to maintain deal velocity.

Leadership

Central dashboards show approval bottlenecks across locations. Audit trails automatically attach to e-manage|ONE project records for compliance.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration through Zapier takes under 30 minutes:

Step 1: Connect the Systems

Authenticate both e-manage|ONE and ApproveThis in Zapier. No coding required - use standard login credentials.

Step 2: Map Key Triggers

Example connection: When e-manage|ONE detects a new high-value lead → Create ApproveThis request with lead details → Route for sales manager approval.

Step 3: Configure Logic

Set conditional rules in ApproveThis:
• Auto-approve repeat client requests below $5K
• Escalate international orders to regional directors
• Require dual signatures for custom designs

Step 4: Test & Launch

Run test approvals through real email accounts. Confirm e-manage|ONE data updates match approval outcomes. Go live with monitoring for first 72 hours.

Why This Integration Works

Unlike generic approval tools, this combination understands furniture business nuances:

Material Lead Times

Approval deadlines factor in fabric procurement schedules - if Italian leather requires 8-week lead time, approval windows adjust automatically.

Showroom Specifics

Approval forms pre-fill location-specific parameters from e-manage|ONE - ensuring Dallas showroom measurements don't get applied to Tokyo installations.

Trade Pricing

Designer discount approvals validate against e-manage|ONE's partner tiers automatically, preventing unauthorized price adjustments.

Getting Started

For furniture businesses using e-manage|ONE, adding ApproveThis creates a decision-making layer that keeps projects moving while maintaining financial control. The integration works particularly well for:

• Multi-location dealers needing consistent approval policies
• High-volume installers managing concurrent projects
• Custom furniture makers requiring client sign-offs at multiple stages

Approvers can be internal teams, external clients, or manufacturing partners - no e-manage|ONE licenses required for reviewers. All approval activity syncs back to relevant e-manage|ONE records automatically.
