ApproveThis manages your Flexxter Integration approvals.

When Bureaucracy Meets Bulldozers

Let’s be real: construction timelines don’t care about your approval bottlenecks. Neither do impatient clients waiting on project kickoffs. That’s why pairing ApproveThis (the approval automation sidekick) with Flexxter (the construction PM powerhouse) isn’t just smart—it’s survival mode for anyone tired of chasing signatures while concrete trucks idle on-site.

This integration isn’t about replacing how you work. It’s about removing the 37 emails, 12 Slack pings, and 1 passive-aggressive “Per my last message…” that stand between your team and actual progress.

Why This Combo Works Like a Power Tool

ApproveThis acts as the traffic cop for decisions, while Flexxter becomes your jobsite foreman executing the plan. Together, they solve three universal headaches:

1. No More “Who Approved This?”

Ever had a subcontractor start work based on an email chain from someone who quit last month? With ApproveThis, every change order, material purchase, or design tweak gets logged in Flexxter automatically upon approval. Audit trails stop being mythology.

2. Budgets That Actually Stick

ApproveThis’ calculated fields automatically flag when a request exceeds Flexxter’s project budget thresholds. No more accidental six-figure overspends because someone didn’t check the latest estimate.

3. The Subcontractor Shuffle

87% of your approvers don’t work for you (architects, clients, inspectors). ApproveThis lets them sign off via email without needing Flexxter access. Meanwhile, your team sees real-time approval statuses right in Flexxter projects.

Real-World Uses That Don’t Suck

These aren’t theoretical “maybe someday” scenarios. Here’s how mid-sized construction firms and project teams use this combo daily:

Use Case 1: Instant Project Greenlights

The Problem: Your PMs waste weeks getting execs to sign off on new builds while crews sit idle.

The Fix: Auto-create ApproveThis requests when Flexxter projects are drafted. Route to CFO, client, and safety lead simultaneously. Approval unlocks the Flexxter project budget and schedule.

Who Cares: Residential developers use this to shave 11 days off permit-to-breakground timelines. Commercial teams prevent unauthorized scope creep.

Use Case 2: Change Orders That Don’t Cause Divorces

The Problem: Clients ghost you when unexpected costs appear, delaying critical path work.

The Fix: When Flexxter task budgets hit 90%, ApproveThis auto-generates change order requests. Clients approve via email with one click—no logins. Approved? Flexxter tasks auto-update with new funds.

Who Cares: Renovation contractors cut payment delays by 68% using this. Civil engineers keep public projects moving during municipal budget reviews.

Use Case 3: Punch Lists That Punch Back

The Problem: Final inspections drag on because 12 stakeholders can’t agree a toilet’s installed correctly.

The Fix: Flexxter checklists trigger ApproveThis workflows requiring GC, architect, and client sign-off. Denied? Photos and comments auto-log in Flexxter for immediate rework.

Who Cares: High-end builders use this to reduce 11th-hour warranty disputes. Facility managers streamline handover docs.

Setting This Up Without an IT Degree

If you can make a sandwich, you can connect ApproveThis and Flexxter via Zapier. Here’s the blueprint:

1. Create your approval templates in ApproveThis (think: “Client Change Orders” or “Emergency Purchase Requests”)
2. In Zapier, pick a Flexxter trigger—like “New Project Draft” or “Budget Threshold Alert”
3. Map Flexxter data (budget, due date, PM name) to ApproveThis’ fields
4. Set who approves what. Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ conditional logic to auto-route $500 purchases to the site lead and $50k+ to the CFO
5. Connect approvals back to Flexxter—auto-update project statuses, unlock budgets, or alert teams

Total setup time: Less than a coffee break. Average time saved per week: 14 hours (we’ve seen teams hit 37).
