ApproveThis manages your Bilionis Integration approvals.

When Lead Generation Meets Rapid Decision-Making

Italian companies expanding globally face a critical challenge: converting international leads quickly while maintaining rigorous internal controls. Bilionis excels at opening doors through direct messaging with potential customers worldwide, but fast-growing teams often get bottlenecked by manual approval processes. This is where pairing Bilionis with ApproveThis creates measurable business impact.

Strategic Alignment for Cross-Border Success

Bilionis reduces friction in initial lead engagement, while ApproveThis removes delays in internal decision-making. Together, they create a closed-loop system where:

• Sales teams respond to qualified leads 2-3x faster
• Legal/compliance teams maintain oversight without micromanaging

Approval thresholds in ApproveThis automatically greenlight standard opportunities while flagging exceptions requiring review. This balance of speed and control proves particularly valuable when dealing with foreign regulatory requirements or complex pricing structures.

Real-World Applications Across Industries

Manufacturing Exporters: From Inquiry to Quote in Hours

Turin-based machinery manufacturers using Bilionis receive 50+ weekly inquiries via translated messages. By triggering ApproveThis workflows directly from Bilionis:

- Sales directors automatically review requests exceeding €250k
- Engineering leads approve custom technical specifications
- Finance validates payment terms before quotes release

One client reduced quote approval times from 6 days to 14 hours using calculated fields to flag high-risk markets automatically.

Food & Beverage Distributors: Compliance at Scale

Bilionis helps Emilia-Romagna cheesemakers connect with international buyers. ApproveThis adds:

- Automatic document checks for import/export certificates
- Parallel approvals from food safety and logistics teams
- Email-based sign-offs from external distributors

Approvers don't need Bilionis access - critical when working with overseas partners lacking internal system licenses.

Luxury Goods: Brand Consistency Across Borders

Milanese fashion houses leverage the integration to:

- Route new boutique partnership requests through regional directors
- Require dual approvals for discount exceptions
- Track seasonal campaign approvals in real time

Vacation delegation ensures continuity during market weeks when 70% of leadership travels.

Technical Implementation Made Simple

Connecting Bilionis and ApproveThis via Zapier takes under 15 minutes:

1. Create Zapier triggers for Bilionis message events
2. Map lead details to ApproveThis request templates
3. Set escalation rules based on deal size/region

Key advantage: Approvers interact only via email or ApproveThis dashboard - no Bilionis training required. This simplifies external stakeholder involvement compared to full CRM implementations.

Department-Specific Benefits

Sales Teams: Close Deals, Not Tickets

Reps spend 37% less time chasing approvals according to internal metrics. Automatic reminders and status visibility reduce "where's my deal?" emails by 62%.

Legal Teams: Risk Mitigation Without Bottlenecks

Conditional logic routes only non-standard contracts for review. One Verona-based firm auto-approved 81% of requests using region-based compliance thresholds.

Finance Departments: Control with Flexibility

Multi-currency support in calculated fields automatically converts amounts to EUR for approval checks. Escalation paths ensure large deals still reach CFO review.

Beyond Basic Approvals: Advanced Use Cases

While lead processing drives immediate ROI, sophisticated teams layer additional logic:

- Auto-decline unprofitable markets using historical data
- Trigger CRM updates upon approval completion
- Generate custom reports for export compliance audits

These workflows leverage ApproveThis' ability to combine data from Bilionis with internal systems through Zapier's 5,000+ app network.

Implementation Best Practices

Maximize value by:

- Starting with high-volume/low-risk approvals
- Using approval groups for regional oversight
- Setting clear escalation SLAs in workflow rules

Avoid over-engineering initial flows - focus on measurable time savings, then expand complexity quarterly.

The Competitive Edge in Global Markets

International buyers expect rapid responses - 72% choose vendors who reply within 4 hours (Bilionis data). Traditional approval processes create unacceptable delays. By combining Bilionis' lead generation with ApproveThis' structured workflows, Italian firms can:

- Reduce deal cycle time by 34% on average
- Maintain 100% compliance with internal controls
- Scale operations without proportional headcount growth
