Approval workflows

Control spend before it’s committed

Control spend, speed up approvals, and reduce policy exceptions with workflows that ensure every purchase is reviewed and approved before it’s committed.

Requisition approval
Reduce cycle times

Cut approval times in half and keep spending on track

Unapproved spend is one of the biggest hidden costs in mid-market finance. Without a structured purchase approval process, organizations lose 2–10% in potential savings to maverick spending, duplicate purchases, and policy violations, often without realizing it.

Fraxion’s automated approval workflow software eliminates those gaps by routing every purchase request through the right approvers, in the right order, before money is spent. The result: customers report 50%+ faster approval times, full spend visibility, and measurable savings recovery across the entire procure-to-pay cycle.
