“Payment approvals used to take 12 days minimum because our CEO travels constantly. The delegation feature with expiry dates solved it instantly. When he's traveling, approvals route to the CFO automatically. Auto-escalation catches anything stuck for 48 hours. Approval time dropped to 2 days average.”
