ApproveThis manages your Sunday Wardrobe Integration approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters in Logistics

Modern businesses lose an average of 22 days per year waiting for manual approvals. When shipping timelines determine customer satisfaction and operational costs, delays in authorization create domino effects that impact every department. This is where combining ApproveThis' approval automation with Sunday Wardrobe's shipment management creates measurable operational advantages.

How These Platforms Complement Each Other

Sunday Wardrobe excels at creating and tracking shipments through its user-friendly interface, while ApproveThis adds critical governance layers. Together through Zapier, they enable:

• Automatic validation of shipment details before processing
• Real-time status updates across both systems

Retailers using this integration report 40% faster shipment processing times, while manufacturing companies reduce approval-related errors by 68%.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Pre-Shipment Approval Workflows

When a team member creates a shipment in Sunday Wardrobe, ApproveThis automatically:

• Routes the request to department heads based on shipment value thresholds
• Sends email/Slack approvals with one-click responses
• Updates Sunday Wardrobe shipment status automatically

Example: A mid-sized ecommerce company uses approval thresholds to auto-approve shipments under $500 while routing larger orders to finance. Their warehouse team now processes 220+ daily shipments without manual oversight.

2. Post-Approval Shipping Automation

When ApproveThis confirms an approved request, Sunday Wardrobe immediately:

• Generates shipping labels
• Updates inventory systems
• Triggers customer notifications

Example: A pharmaceutical distributor automated temperature-sensitive shipments using conditional logic. If approvals take longer than 2 hours, the system automatically upgrades to expedited shipping at no extra cost.

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Connect both apps through Zapier

Step 2: Map these key triggers/actions:

• Sunday Wardrobe "Shipment Created" → ApproveThis "Create Request"
• ApproveThis "Request Approved" → Sunday Wardrobe "Create and Send Shipment"

Step 3: Configure approval thresholds and escalation rules in ApproveThis based on:

• Shipment value
• Destination countries
• Product categories

Most teams complete setup in under 45 minutes using pre-built templates.

Cross-Team Benefits

Logistics Teams

Reduce time spent chasing approvals by 65% while maintaining compliance through audit trails. Vacation delegation ensures shipments keep moving during staff absences.

Finance Departments

Real-time visibility into shipping costs before commitments. Multi-level approvals prevent budget overruns on high-value shipments.

Customer Service

Provide accurate ETAs using combined approval/shipping timelines. Automatic tracking updates reduce "Where's my order?" inquiries by 40%.

Key Differentiators

Unlike basic approval tools, this integration through Zapier enables:

• External Approvals: Vendors/clients can approve shipments via email without Sunday Wardrobe licenses
• Dynamic Routing: Automatically escalate delayed approvals to alternate managers
• Cost Controls: Block shipments exceeding budget until executive review

A regional distributor prevented $120k in overspending last quarter using conditional approval thresholds based on shipment dimensions and destinations.

Optimization Tips

Do: Combine approval groups with Sunday Wardrobe's shipment categories to create department-specific workflows (e.g., hazardous materials → safety team approval).

Don't: Use single-approver setups for high-value shipments - leverage consensus-based approvals for better oversight.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag shipments exceeding weight limits or containing restricted items.

Getting Started

Begin with a free ApproveThis trial and existing Sunday Wardrobe account. Technical teams can explore our API documentation for custom implementations, though most users find the Zapier integration sufficient for core needs.

For complex scenarios like multi-country tax compliance or cold chain logistics, request a personalized demo to see custom logic configurations.

Final Considerations

While the integration handles most common use cases, ensure your team:

• Documents all approval policies before automation
• Trains approvers on email-based response options
• Monitors initial workflows for unexpected exceptions

Companies using both platforms typically see full ROI within 3 months through reduced operational delays and improved shipping accuracy.
