ApproveThis manages your Allocadence Integration approvals.

Two Systems, One Powerful Connection

When enterprise warehouse management meets intelligent approval automation, businesses unlock new levels of operational efficiency. Allocadence provides the backbone for inventory control and order fulfillment, while ApproveThis brings structure and speed to decision-making processes. Together through Zapier integration, these platforms create closed-loop workflows that eliminate manual handoffs between teams.

Why This Integration Matters

Approval bottlenecks cost enterprises an average of 5 productive days per month according to industry research. For inventory-driven organizations using Allocadence, delayed purchase orders or stuck customer approvals directly impact warehouse throughput and customer satisfaction. The Zapier integration between ApproveThis and Allocadence addresses this challenge head-on by creating bi-directional automation that keeps both systems synchronized.

Core Capabilities: Where Allocadence and ApproveThis Excel

Allocadence specializes in three critical areas:

• Real-time inventory tracking across multiple warehouses
• Automated customer/purchase order processing
• Shipment coordination and fulfillment monitoring

ApproveThis complements these functions with:

• Configurable approval chains with conditional logic
• Automatic escalation paths for urgent requests
• Email-based approvals requiring no software access

Real-World Workflow Automation Examples

1. Accelerated Customer Order Processing

A mid-sized electronics distributor reduced order approval times by 68% by connecting Allocadence to ApproveThis. Here's how it works:

When Allocadence receives a new customer order, ApproveThis automatically:

• Checks order value against pre-set approval thresholds
• Routes high-value orders to senior staff via email
• Auto-approves routine orders under $5,000

Result: Orders move to fulfillment within 2 hours instead of 3 business days.

2. Smart Purchase Order Governance

A food service provider eliminated $240,000 in duplicate orders annually using this integration. The system:

• Flags POs exceeding budgeted category spend
• Requires dual approvals for non-contract vendors
• Maintains audit trails for compliance reporting

3. Closed-Loop Inventory Replenishment

When stock levels hit reorder points in Allocadence, ApproveThis:

• Creates purchase requests with preferred vendor pricing
• Routes to procurement team based on vacation schedules
• Updates Allocadence with approved order quantities

Team-Specific Benefits

Procurement Teams

Approval thresholds in ApproveThis prevent maverick spending by automatically flagging orders that bypass contracted suppliers. Built-in delegation ensures purchase requests never stall because someone's OOO.

Operations Managers

Real-time dashboards show approval status for every Allocadence order, enabling accurate ETAs for customers. Automatic escalation paths prevent fulfillment delays during peak seasons.

Finance Controllers

Calculated fields in ApproveThis automatically apply tax rates and shipping costs from Allocadence data, ensuring accurate budget tracking before approvals. All decisions sync back to Allocadence for complete audit trails.

Implementation Made Simple

Connecting Allocadence and ApproveThis through Zapier takes under 15 minutes:

1. Create Zapier accounts for both platforms
2. Choose your trigger event (e.g., "New Customer Order" in Allocadence)
3. Map key data fields between systems
4. Set approval rules and thresholds in ApproveThis
5. Test with sample orders

Critical Configuration Tips

• Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate Allocadence SKU costs
• Enable vacation delegation to prevent approval bottlenecks
• Set conditional approval paths based on order priority flags from Allocadence

Why This Integration Becomes Indispensable

The true power emerges when approval data flows both ways. Example scenario:

A customer requests expedited shipping in Allocadence → ApproveThis calculates the cost impact → Upon approval, Allocadence automatically:

• Reserves inventory
• Updates shipment timelines
• Adjusts warehouse pick schedules

The License Advantage

External partners approving requests only need ApproveThis access - no Allocadence licenses required. This proves invaluable for:

• Client approvals on consignment orders
• Cross-company procurement committees
• 3PL vendors confirming shipment capacities

Getting Started

To implement these automated workflows:

1. Create your Zapier connection
2. Sync your Allocadence account
3. Build approval templates in ApproveThis matching your order types

Final Recommendation

Start with purchase order approvals - most organizations see ROI within 30 days. Then expand to customer order exceptions and inventory replenishment workflows.
