ApproveThis manages your Openscreen approvals.

When QR Codes Meet Approval Automation

Let's cut to the chase: You're using Openscreen to track assets, manage supply chains, or engage customers through QR codes. That's smart. But if your approval processes still involve chasing people through Slack or digging through email threads, you're leaving money on the table. That's where ApproveThis comes in – like giving your operations team a turbocharger.

When you connect Openscreen's QR-powered asset tracking with ApproveThis' no-nonsense approval automation through Zapier, you're not just streamlining workflows. You're creating an audit trail that would make your compliance team cry happy tears. And the best part? Approvers don't need an Openscreen license to greenlight requests. Perfect for working with external partners or cross-departmental reviews.

Three Ways This Combo Beats Manual Processes

1. Account Contacts That Don't Slip Through the Cracks

Picture this: Your sales team adds a new procurement contact for a major retail account in Openscreen. Instead of CC'ing five managers and hoping someone responds, ApproveThis automatically:

• Routes the contact details to the right approvers based on deal size
• Escalates if no response within 24 hours
• Updates Openscreen automatically once approved

Real-world win: A beverage distributor cut their vendor onboarding time from 14 days to 3 by auto-routing new supplier contacts through ApproveThis. Their procurement team now handles 3x more accounts without adding headcount.

2. Asset Tracking That Actually Prevents Losses

Here's where it gets interesting. Say your warehouse team scans a QR code to add a new maintenance contact for industrial equipment. With this integration:

• Approval requests include asset location history from Openscreen
• Maintenance managers approve via email (no app login needed)
• Auto-reassigns approvals if someone's on vacation

Cold hard results: An HVAC company reduced equipment downtime by 40% by ensuring only certified technicians were approved for specific asset types. Their field teams get automatic SMS alerts when approvals clear – no more waiting at job sites.

3. Project Contacts That Keep Complex Teams Aligned

Construction firms, listen up. When new subcontractors get added to a project in Openscreen, ApproveThis can:

- Require parallel approvals from safety and procurement
- Attach insurance docs automatically using Calculated Fields
- Trigger conditional approvals based on project phase

Bonus perk: One infrastructure company automated their change order approvals tied to specific project QR codes. Project managers now approve budget shifts directly from inspection site photos captured in Openscreen.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most approval tools make you choose between flexibility and control. With ApproveThis and Openscreen, you get both. Here's what sets this combo apart:

QR Code Context Where It Matters

Every approval request pulls in Openscreen's asset history, location data, and contact timelines. Approvers get the full picture without jumping between systems.

Approvals That Follow the Money

Set approval thresholds based on Openscreen's inventory values or project budgets. Automatically escalate high-value asset changes to senior staff while letting frontline managers handle routine approvals.

Compliance That Actually Works

Full audit trails showing who approved what – including which QR code scan triggered the request. Perfect for industries like healthcare or manufacturing where traceability isn't optional.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Here's the beautiful part – you're not building some fragile custom integration. With Zapier in the middle, it's all point-and-click:

1. Connect Openscreen to Zapier (takes 2 minutes)
2. Choose your trigger (new account/asset/project contact)
3. Map the key fields to ApproveThis
4. Set up approval rules and escalation paths
5. Test with one QR code scan

Pro tip: Start with your highest-volume approval type. Most teams see ROI within the first week of automating just one workflow.

Who Gets the Biggest Wins?

Procurement Teams

Auto-approve routine supplier contacts while flagging high-risk vendors for manual review. Built-in compliance checks reduce audit prep time by 60% for most teams.

Operations Managers

Get real-time visibility into asset approval statuses across multiple locations. One dashboard replaces endless spreadsheet tracking.

Project Leads

Ensure subcontractor approvals keep pace with rapid project changes. Conditional logic automatically routes safety certifications to the right inspectors.

The Bottom Line

If you're using Openscreen for QR code tracking but still handling approvals manually, you're essentially using a sports car to drive through a school zone. ApproveThis unlocks the real potential of your asset data by adding structured decision-making that scales.

This isn't about replacing human judgment – it's about eliminating the administrative sludge that slows down good decisions. When approvals keep pace with your field operations and supply chain movements, that's when you start seeing real efficiency gains.
