ApproveThis manages your Megaventory Integration approvals.
April 17, 2025
Integration Category: Ecommerce
Let's cut through the corporate jargon: inventory management sucks when you're chasing approvals through Slack threads and email chains. Megaventory keeps your stock levels in check, but what about the human bottlenecks slowing down every purchase order or client onboarding? That's where ApproveThis comes in – we're the missing approval layer that turns "Did you see my email?" into automated workflows.
Why These Two Tools Click
Megaventory handles the numbers. ApproveThis handles the people. Together, they solve the "stuck in pending" purgatory that plagues growing companies. We've seen manufacturers cut procurement delays by 60% and ecommerce teams slash client onboarding time in half – not by adding more meetings, but by connecting these systems through Zapier.
Real Teams Getting Real Results
Procurement Teams: From Spreadsheet Hell to Controlled Spending
Here's how a $20M electronics manufacturer uses the integration:
1. Buyer creates $15k capacitor order in Megaventory
2. Zapier triggers ApproveThis workflow with:
- Automatic escalation to CFO if over $10k
- Backup approver assigned if purchasing manager is OOO
3. Approved? PO auto-generates in Megaventory
4. Denied? Buyer gets reason logged with the request
Their AP team stopped playing detective with unapproved orders last quarter.
Sales Teams: Client Onboarding That Doesn't Embarrass You
A wholesale food distributor's process pre-integration:
New client entry → Sales rep emails credit check PDF → Accounting loses it → Client calls pissed about delayed order
Post-integration:
New Megaventory client → Auto-approval request to credit team → Approved? Client activated instantly → Denied? Sales gets alert to renegotiate terms
Their DSO dropped 14 days because approvals became part of the system, not an afterthought.
Setup That Doesn't Require an IT Degree
Connect ApproveThis + Megaventory in 3 steps even your non-techy ops manager can handle:
- Create Zapier account (free tier works)
- Choose your trigger in Megaventory (new PO, client, etc.)
- Map fields to ApproveThis template
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag orders exceeding department budgets or custom credit limits.
Department-Specific Wins
For Finance Teams
Approval thresholds cut micromanaging. Example: Auto-approve office supplies under $500 but require dual signatures for warehouse equipment over $5k. All decisions audit-trailed in ApproveThis dashboards.
For Operations Managers
Real-time tracking shows exactly where delays happen. That pending safety stock order? Turns out it wasn't the vendor – your manager was on vacation without delegation setup. Fix it once, save hours monthly.
For External Partners
Client needs to approve bulk order changes? Send approval emails that don't require them to log into Megaventory. They click approve/reject – Megaventory updates automatically. No shared logins, no security nightmares.
Beyond Basic Approvals
While our Zapier integration handles the heavy lifting, don't sleep on these ApproveThis features:
- Vacation delegation: Approvals automatically reroute when approvers are out – no more "Waiting on Jim" when Jim's fishing in Montana
- Conditional workflows: Require legal review only for orders with custom terms, not standard POs
Common "Aha Moments" From Actual Users
The lightbulb moments we hear most:
"Wait – approvers don't need Megaventory licenses? That changes everything for working with contractors!"
"You mean we can approve directly from Outlook without another login? Why didn't we do this sooner?"
"The escalation rules stopped our warehouse manager from approving his own $20k orders – compliance is happier."
When This Integration Isn't Magic
Let's be real – if your approval process is broken because you have too many decision-makers, no tool will help. But if you're drowning in manual follow-ups for Megaventory-related requests? That's our sweet spot.
