ApproveThis

ApproveThis brings structure to approval processes with features like conditional routing and automatic escalations. Its email-based approvals allow external partners to participate without needing access to your core systems - a key advantage when working with suppliers or clients.

Key Use Cases

Order Validation Automation

When Carismar detects a new order, ApproveThis can automatically:

• Route high-value orders to finance leads
• Flag orders from new customers for fraud review

Example: A wholesale distributor uses approval thresholds to auto-approve orders under $5K while requiring manager sign-off for larger purchases. Their warehouse team receives approved orders directly in their WMS, cutting processing time by 40%.

Product Launch Coordination

New product submissions in Carismar trigger multi-department reviews through ApproveThis:

• Legal checks compliance documentation
• Marketing approves product descriptions

Example: A cosmetics brand reduced time-to-market by 3 weeks by synchronizing their formulation team's checklist with ApproveThis's sequential approvals.

Dynamic Pricing Governance

Price changes in Carismar now require validations based on:

• Margin thresholds using ApproveThis's calculated fields
• Regional manager approvals for location-specific pricing

Example: An electronics retailer prevented a $120K pricing error by setting automatic escalations for any price drop over 25%.

Team-Specific Benefits

Operations Teams

Reduce order fulfillment delays by linking Carismar's inventory alerts to ApproveThis's escalation rules. Warehouse managers get automatic notifications when stock levels require purchase order approvals.

Marketing Teams

Coordinate global product launches using ApproveThis's multi-language support. Regional marketers receive translated approval requests that tie directly to Carismar's localization settings.

Finance Teams

Implement tiered approvals for vendor payments integrated with Carismar's PO system. ApproveThis's audit trails simplify quarterly financial reviews.

Strategic Advantages

This integration solves three critical e-commerce challenges:

1. Speed vs Control: Automate routine approvals while maintaining oversight on exceptions
2. Cross-Team Alignment: Sync product data changes across departments in real time
3. Partner Collaboration: Involve external agencies in approvals without granting system access

A mid-sized retailer using both platforms reduced approval-related customer service tickets by 62% last quarter through automated status updates.

Getting Started

Begin with a single high-impact workflow:

1. Identify a process causing delays (e.g., returns authorization)
2. Map current approval steps in ApproveThis
3. Connect to Carismar's relevant triggers
4. Train stakeholders on the new workflow

Most teams see ROI within 30 days through reduced processing time and error rates. The combination of ApproveThis's granular controls with Carismar's commerce engine creates a responsive operational framework that scales with your business.
