ApproveThis manages your Exact Online Bouw Integration approvals.

When Bureaucracy Meets Bulldozers

Construction teams don't have time for paperwork ping-pong. Exact Online Bouw handles the heavy lifting of project management, while ApproveThis slashes through approval bottlenecks. Connect them via Zapier, and you've got a blueprint for moving dirt faster than your crew can drink their morning coffee.

Why This Combo Works

Exact Online Bouw organizes projects; ApproveThis organizes decisions. Together, they solve three headaches for growing construction firms:

• No more chasing signatures: Superintendents approve change orders from the job site via email
• Budget guardrails: Auto-approve small material purchases, flag anything over $5K for review

Best part? Your concrete supplier doesn't need an Exact license to approve invoices. They just click 'Approve' in their inbox.

Real World Use Cases (No Hard Hats Required)

1. From Digger to Decision Maker

The Zap: New Exact project → ApproveThis request → Approved? Break ground.

A midsize civil engineering firm uses this to:

- Auto-flag projects exceeding $2M budget
- Route permit approvals to local regulators (who only see what's relevant)
- Start site prep 3 days faster by cutting CFO approval from 48h to 2h

2. When Paperwork Outlives the Project

The Reverse Zap: ApproveThis greenlight → Exact project created.

A concrete supplier automates:

- Client change orders approved via SMS
- Auto-generated Exact tasks for batch plants
- Real-time cost tracking using ApproveThis' calculated fields

Setting Up Without Screwing Up

Connect in 15 minutes:

1. Create Zapier triggers for "New Project" in Exact Online Bouw
2. Map critical fields: Budget, Timeline, GC Contacts

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional thresholds to auto-approve routine safety checklists but escalate OSHA-related items.

Who Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

Project Managers

Get alerts when subcontractor bids need re-approval after scope changes. Vacation delegation means your lead engineer can approve RFIs from the Bahamas.

Finance Teams

Dynamic calculations auto-flag invoices that don't match purchase orders. Approval groups ensure the CFO only sees what actually matters.

Field Crews

Approve equipment rentals via text message. Real-time dashboards show which permits are cleared to start work.

Common Mistakes (We've Seen It All)

Don't: Require 5 approvals for every $50 hardware store run.
Do: Set ApproveThis thresholds to auto-OK purchases under $1K with receipt photos.

Bottom Line

ApproveThis isn't another tool - it's how grown-up construction companies avoid being buried in PDFs. Combined with Exact Online Bouw's project tracking, you're looking at:

- 23% faster project kickoffs (based on actual client data)
- 60% reduction in "Who approved this?!" meetings
- One less excuse for missing deadlines
