Why Approval Automation Matters for Modern Teams
Contracts and assets form the backbone of business operations – but without efficient approval processes, they become bottlenecks. Legal teams drown in manual contract reviews. Finance loses days chasing signatures. Operations stalls while equipment purchases await rubber-stamp approvals. This disconnect costs time, money, and opportunities.
ApproveThis and Revnue solve this through Zapier-powered automation. Revnue centralizes contracts, suppliers, and assets, while ApproveThis adds structured approval workflows. Together, they create a closed-loop system where critical requests move forward faster, with full visibility and compliance.
Key Benefits of Connecting Revnue + ApproveThis
Combining these platforms isn't just about replacing email chains. It's about creating auditable, rules-driven processes that adapt to your business needs:
- Eliminate Approval Black Holes: Track every contract revision or asset request in real time – no more guessing who has the ball.
- Enforce Compliance Automatically: Route high-value contracts to legal teams first, or require CFO sign-off on assets above $50K.
For example, a manufacturing company using Revnue to track machinery leases could auto-route new agreements through ApproveThis. Legal reviews terms first, then finance approves costs – all within Revnue's contract record. Approvers don't need Revnue licenses, making external counsel reviews seamless.
Finance Teams: Control Costs Without Micromanaging
ApproveThis' calculated fields let you set approval thresholds based on Revnue data. When a Revnue contract includes a $120K cloud services spend, ApproveThis can:
- Auto-approve contracts under $50K
- Route $50K-$100K to department heads
- Escalate $100K+ to CFO with finance team CC'd
This prevents bottlenecks on small spends while maintaining oversight. Vacation delegation ensures approvals never stall – if the CFO is out, requests shift to their deputy automatically.
Real-World Use Cases: Beyond Basic Approvals
While approving contracts and assets is obvious, the integration enables smarter workflows:
1. Asset Lifecycle Management (IT/Operations)
When Revnue detects a new IT asset (e.g., cloud server), ApproveThis triggers multi-tier reviews:
Example: A healthcare provider adds MRI machine maintenance contracts to Revnue. ApproveThis routes them to Clinical Operations (check uptime SLAs), then Legal (indemnification clauses), finally Finance (payment terms). Each team approves via email, with all decisions logged in Revnue's contract history.
2. Client Onboarding Acceleration (Sales/Legal)
Sales teams often bypass proper vetting to close deals faster. This Zapier integration enforces discipline without slowing momentum:
Workflow: New Revnue contract created → ApproveThis sends customized checklists to Sales Ops (client background check), Legal (NDA compliance), and Finance (credit check). Only when all approve does Revnue mark the contract as executable.
3. Proactive Renewal Management (Procurement)
Missed renewal deadlines cost businesses 12-15% annually. With ApproveThis' real-time triggers:
Automation: Revnue flags contracts expiring in 60 days → ApproveThis routes renewal requests to department heads. If denied (e.g., unused service), Revnue auto-schedules termination steps. If approved, procurement gets immediate access to negotiate terms.
Implementation: Setting Up Your Integration
Connecting Revnue and ApproveThis via Zapier takes under 20 minutes:
- Map Critical Triggers: Start with high-impact processes – contract approvals, asset requests, or customer onboarding.
- Configure Conditional Logic: Use ApproveThis' threshold rules to auto-approve low-risk items (e.g., NDAs under $10K).
- Test with Live Data: Run a $1 test contract through the system to verify routing and notifications.
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to pull Revnue data into approval criteria. For example, auto-escalate contracts if Revnue's "Termination Fee" field exceeds $25K.
Team-Specific Advantages
While the integration benefits all departments, some teams gain unique advantages:
Legal Teams
Reduce contract review time by 40% with:
- Auto-flagged risky clauses (via Revnue AI) requiring manual approval
- Sequential routing where sales approves commercial terms first
Procurement Teams
Prevent maverick spending by requiring approvals for:
- New suppliers added to Revnue
- POs exceeding budget thresholds
IT Teams
Accelerate hardware/software requests with:
- Asset approval workflows tied to Revnue's inventory levels
- Auto-denial of requests exceeding predefined budgets
Beyond Approvals: Advanced Use Cases
The integration's real power emerges when you layer in ApproveThis' advanced features:
Dynamic Escalation Paths
If Revnue shows a vendor has missed SLAs three times, ApproveThis can:
- Require VP-level approval for renewals
- Auto-add risk management to the approval chain
Audit-Ready Documentation
Every approval decision syncs between systems, creating an immutable audit trail. During compliance checks, pull Revnue contracts with their complete ApproveThis decision history.
Getting Started: Next Steps
To implement these workflows:
- Identify Pain Points: Where are approvals causing delays? Contract sign-offs? Purchase orders?
- Book a Custom Demo: See how Revnue and ApproveThis handle your specific use cases.
- Start Small: Automate one process (e.g., NDA approvals), then expand.
Final Thoughts: The Strategic Edge
Companies using ApproveThis + Revnue report 30% faster contract cycles and 22% fewer compliance incidents. But the bigger win is cultural – teams spend less time chasing approvals and more time on strategic work.
