ApproveThis manages your Cohesiv Integration approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters Now

Modern teams face a critical challenge: decision velocity. Every delayed approval creates bottlenecks in procurement, contract execution, and project launches. Traditional email chains and manual follow-ups simply can't keep pace with today's business demands. This is where combining ApproveThis' structured approval automation with Cohesiv's AI-powered record management creates a new operating standard.

Two Platforms, One Competitive Edge

ApproveThis brings military-grade precision to approval processes with features like conditional routing, approval thresholds, and automatic delegation. Cohesiv acts as the central nervous system for operational data, using AI to surface insights from your existing records and processes. Together through Zapier, they enable:

• Closed-loop accountability: Every Cohesiv record update triggers approval workflows, with decisions automatically reflected back in your system of record
• Frictionless cross-team collaboration: External partners approve directly via email without needing Cohesiv logins

Real-World Workflows That Move the Needle

1. Procurement That Protects Margins

When a purchase requisition hits $25k in Cohesiv, ApproveThis automatically routes it to the CFO while sending standard requests to department heads. The CFO receives an email with embedded cost-benefit analysis pulled from Cohesiv's AI insights. Approved budgets sync back instantly, triggering purchase orders.

Impact: Manufacturing companies using this integration reduced procurement cycle times by 38% while decreasing unauthorized spend by 27%.

2. Contract Lifecycles Without Legal Logjams

New vendor contracts created in Cohesiv initiate parallel approval chains - legal team reviews clauses via ApproveThis while department leads assess business terms. The system automatically enforces version control and tracks redline deadlines.

Impact: Legal teams at tech startups report handling 45% more contracts monthly without increased headcount.

3. Compliance Audits Made Proactive

Cohesiv's AI detects potential compliance gaps in project documentation, triggering ApproveThis workflows that require corrective action sign-off from specific stakeholders. All decisions are permanently audited in both systems.

Impact: Healthcare providers using this approach reduced compliance findings by 62% year-over-year.

Team-Specific Benefits

Operations Leaders

Eliminate spreadsheet tracking of capital expenditure approvals. Real-time dashboards in ApproveThis show exactly where each request stands, while Cohesiv maintains the golden record of all decisions.

Finance Teams

Enforce spending policies through dynamic approval thresholds. When a Cohesiv record exceeds preset limits, ApproveThis automatically escalates to senior approvers with context from previous decisions.

Project Managers

Kickoff new initiatives faster by linking Cohesiv project plans to phase-gate approvals. No more chasing sign-offs - the system routes approvals based on RACI matrices and tracks SLAs.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration takes under 20 minutes through Zapier:

1. Connect Cohesiv and ApproveThis to your Zapier account
2. Choose trigger events like "New Record in Cohesiv" or "Updated Status Field"
3. Map critical data points between systems (e.g., Cohesiv project ID → ApproveThis custom field)
4. Test with a non-critical workflow before full deployment

Critical Features That Make It Work

ApproveThis' calculated fields transform raw Cohesiv data into actionable approval context. For example, automatically comparing a purchase amount against remaining budget. Combined with approval groups, this ensures the right people make decisions with the right information.

When to Consider This Integration

The sweet spot for this integration is organizations that:

• Have outgrown email-based approvals but don't need full ERP systems
• Require audit trails for compliance purposes
• Manage external stakeholders who shouldn't have system access

Limitations to Understand

While powerful, this integration isn't a replacement for:

• Complex document editing (use native Cohesiv features for this)
• Real-time co-authoring scenarios
• Approvals requiring physical signatures

The Road Ahead

As Cohesiv expands its AI capabilities, expect smarter approval triggers - like predictive budget alerts initiating pre-emptive approval workflows. ApproveThis continues to enhance its conditional logic engine, enabling multi-system approval chains that adapt to real-time business conditions.
