What is approval workflow software?

Approval workflow software automates the process of requesting, giving, or receiving approval on repetitive tasks, documents, or other processes within an organization. This means creating custom, multi-step workflows with conditional logic, tiered approvals, and logging every approval step.

What is the best approval workflow software?

The best approval workflow software isn't just about routing a request or sending a nudge for approval to a stakeholder. It's about streamlining business operations by enforcing financial controls, maintaining audit integrity, and keeping your business safe without unwanted risks. This means using software like DualEntry, which has enterprise-level security features. These include role-based access controls, multifactor authentication, SAML single sign-on, activity logs, version history, and audit trails. You get full transparency at every step.

What is the difference between workflow and approval process?

A workflow is the full sequence of steps a task follows from start to finish—from entering an invoice to routing it, booking it and, finally, reporting on it. An approval process is just one part of that workflow. This is where designated stakeholders handle reviews and sign-offs.
