ApproveThis manages your RKVST Integration approvals.

Why ApproveThis and RKVST Are Better Together

In industries where accountability matters – manufacturing, healthcare, or financial services – every decision leaves a paper trail. ApproveThis automates approval workflows, while RKVST provides an immutable record of asset provenance. Combined via Zapier, they create a system where critical decisions are not just faster, but also permanently verifiable.

Consider this: 43% of compliance teams spend over 10 hours weekly manually tracking approvals. By connecting ApproveThis’s routing logic with RKVST’s blockchain-based audit trails, businesses reduce compliance risks while cutting processing time by up to 65%. Procurement teams get faster vendor onboarding, legal departments gain tamper-proof records, and IT secures sensitive data flows.

Key Integration Benefits Across Teams

For Procurement & Supply Chain Managers

When a new supplier contract requires three executive sign-offs, ApproveThis routes it sequentially. Once approved, RKVST automatically records the contract as an asset with a blockchain timestamp. During audits, you’ll prove exactly when terms were agreed – no more digging through email chains.

For IT Security Teams

Deploying new software? Set an approval threshold in ApproveThis: any tool costing over $5k/month requires CISO review. Once approved, RKVST logs the purchase as a digital asset, including the license key and approval certificate. If a breach occurs, you’ll trace access back to the immutable record.

For Legal & Compliance Officers

Use RKVST to track policy document versions. When updates occur, ApproveThis triggers multi-departmental reviews. Approved changes auto-publish, with RKVST proving each approver’s sign-off date. During regulatory checks, generate compliance reports in two clicks instead of two weeks.

Real-World Use Cases: Beyond Theory

Use Case 1: New Asset Approval → Secure Recordkeeping

A medical device manufacturer adds a new production line component. The RKVST-Zapier integration detects the asset creation, triggering an ApproveThis workflow requiring QA, engineering, and compliance approvals. Once all sign off, RKVST updates the asset’s lifecycle record with approval certificates. Result: Auditors instantly verify component legitimacy, and recalls (if needed) target only batches using that part.

Use Case 2: Approved Contract → Immutable Audit Trail

A construction firm’s legal team approves a vendor contract via ApproveThis. The integration auto-records the executed contract in RKVST, including approval timestamps and redlined terms. When a dispute arises six months later, the unalterable RKVST record proves what was agreed, saving $220k in potential litigation costs.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Using Zapier, connect ApproveThis and RKVST in three steps:

1. In Zapier, choose RKVST’s “New Asset” trigger or ApproveThis’s “New Request” trigger.
2. Map critical data fields: Asset IDs, approval reasons, monetary values.
3. Test with a low-risk workflow (e.g., office supply requests), then scale to critical processes.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’s Calculated Fields to auto-flag high-value assets. Example: If an RKVST asset’s “Maintenance Cost” field exceeds $10k, route it to the VP of Operations.

Unique Advantages You Can’t Ignore

External Approvals Without Added Costs

ApproveThis lets external partners (vendors, clients) approve requests via email – no RKVST license needed. A pharmaceutical company might have external labs approve trial data releases. Once approved, RKVST records the data’s chain of custody, while ApproveThis proves the lab’s consent.

Conditional Escalations Save Time

ApproveThis’s thresholds auto-approve routine assets (e.g., sub-$1k IT purchases) but escalate unusual ones. A $12k marketing asset? It waits for CMO review. Post-approval, RKVST timestamps exactly when the CMO signed off, creating a compliance-safe paper trail.

Industry-Specific Workflows

Energy & Utilities: Equipment Certification

When a wind turbine sensor is added to RKVST, ApproveThis requires safety certifications from engineering and regulatory teams. Once approved, RKVST logs the certifications alongside sensor metadata. During inspections, regulators see compliant approvals in under 10 minutes.

Financial Services: Loan Package Approvals

Loan applications over $500k trigger ApproveThis workflows requiring two VP signatures. Approved loans are recorded in RKVST as assets with terms, rates, and approval dates. If a borrower disputes terms, the RKVST record provides irrefutable evidence of agreed conditions.

Overcoming Common Challenges

Problem: Delays During Approver Absences

Solution: ApproveThis’s Vacation Delegation auto-reassigns requests. If your CFO is out, requests route to the Deputy CFO. Post-approval, RKVST still records the original requester and final approver, maintaining chain-of-command transparency.

Problem: Unclear Approval Criteria

Solution: Configure ApproveThis to require asset metadata (e.g., “Safety Cert Expiry Date”) from RKVST. Approvers see expiration dates upfront, reducing back-and-forth. Post-approval, RKVST’s blockchain record includes the exact criteria met.

Getting Started: Next Steps

For teams handling sensitive assets, the ApproveThis-RKVST integration isn’t just convenient – it’s a compliance necessity. Start with a pilot:

• Identify a high-volume approval process (e.g., vendor contracts, IT purchases).
• Map current bottlenecks: Delays, unclear ownership, audit headaches.
• Build a Zapier automation in 2 hours max, using pre-built templates.

Final Thoughts: Beyond Automation

This integration isn’t about replacing humans with bots. It’s about empowering teams to focus on strategic decisions while RKVST and ApproveThis handle the legwork. A healthcare provider reduced compliance review time from 14 days to 3 hours, while a manufacturer cut asset approval errors by 89%. Your move?
