Documents moving through an online approval process

Less Paper

Why bother? In many businesses, bills, contracts and forms still move by email, printer and in-tray. Someone types the details into Xero or MYOB, someone else chases the signature, and nobody can find the final copy later. We set up document workflows that read each document, send it to the right person to approve (from their phone if they're out), pass the details into your accounting and other systems, and file it where you can find it. You get faster approvals, fewer typing errors, and a clear record of who approved what.

Where Paperwork Gets Stuck

The document problems we hear about most

📄

Paper Holds Things Up

Paper forms and printed bills get lost, sit in trays and can only be signed by someone who is in the office.
Work waits
✍️

Approvals by Email

Documents wait in someone’s inbox for a sign-off, and nobody knows how long they’ve been there.
Decisions held up
🔄

Which Version Is Right?

Several copies of the same document go round by email, and people work from the wrong one.
Mistakes and rework

Hard to Prove at Audit

When an auditor or regulator asks who approved what and when, the answer is buried in emails and folders.
