ApproveThis manages your towio Integration approvals.

Two Tools, One Powerful Partnership

When construction project managers spend 12 hours weekly chasing approvals, and accounting teams lose invoices in email chains, productivity crumbles. This is where ApproveThis and Towio form a game-changing alliance. By connecting Towio's jobsite documentation with ApproveThis' structured approval system through Zapier, trade businesses gain military-grade process control without military-grade complexity.

ApproveThis handles the who approves what and when, while Towio manages the real work of client files, invoices, and contractor coordination. Together, they create closed-loop systems where:

• New Towio contacts trigger instant approval requests
• Approved estimates auto-convert to Towio invoices
• Completed jobs automatically archive with approval records

Real-World Workflows for Trade Professionals

1. Contractor Vetting at Scale

Electrical contractors using Towio to manage subcontractors now auto-route new vendor requests through ApproveThis. When a project lead adds a new supplier in Towio:

1. Zapier triggers an ApproveThis request
2. Safety managers review insurance certificates
3. Accounting verifies payment terms
4. Approved vendors auto-sync back to Towio

Bonus: ApproveThis' vacation delegation ensures no approval bottlenecks when managers are onsite.

2. Invoice Validation Guardrails

Landscaping companies process 300+ monthly material invoices in Towio. By connecting to ApproveThis:

1. $5k+ invoices require CFO approval
2. Discrepancies trigger project manager reviews
3. Approved invoices auto-post to accounting

ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically flag invoices exceeding budget thresholds.

3. Client Change Order Management

When remodeling clients request scope changes:

1. Townio files track change documentation
2. ApproveThis routes revised estimates
3. Approved changes auto-update project timelines

Project managers use real-time tracking dashboards to prevent unauthorized work.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration takes three steps:

1. Connect the Bridge: In Zapier, link your ApproveThis and Towio accounts
2. Map the Data: Set rules like "New Towio invoice → ApproveThis request"
3. Test & Launch: Run test approvals between a project and accounting

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' approval thresholds to auto-approve small change orders under $500 while flagging larger amounts for review.

Department-Specific Wins

Field Teams

Superintendents approve material requests directly from Towio project files via email - no app login required. ApproveThis' email-based approvals mean decisions happen between concrete pours.

Accounting

AP clerks reduce payment errors by validating Towio invoices against ApproveThis' approval history. Approval groups ensure dual signatures on checks over $10k.

Operations

COOs track approval KPIs like "Average Time to Approve Purchase Orders" alongside Towio project timelines, spotting bottlenecks across divisions.

Why This Combo Works

Traditional approval software forces teams into rigid frameworks. ApproveThis adapts to how trades actually work:

• Subcontractors approve via SMS/email (no licenses needed)
• Multi-step approvals mirror union hierarchies
• Conditional logic handles state-specific compliance

Meanwhile, Towio keeps crews productive with:

• Jobsites docs accessible offline
• Equipment tracking via mobile
• Client billing tied to GPS-verified work

Together, they provide the structure trades need without sacrificing jobsite flexibility.

Getting Started

Ready to stop chasing approvals? Here's your roadmap:

1. Register for ApproveThis (14-day trial)
2. Connect to Towio via Zapier in <45 mins
3. Start with one workflow (e.g., invoice approvals)

For complex operations, schedule a custom demo showing how to mirror your approval hierarchy in ApproveThis.

Final Word

In construction and trade businesses, profit margins live in the gaps between systems. By bridging Towio's operational muscle with ApproveThis' approval rigor, you're not just automating workflows - you're building guardrails that keep projects profitable and compliant. The tools are proven, the integration is simple, and the alternative is another year of missed deadlines and cost overruns.

Tomorrow's successful contractors aren't waiting - they're approving.
