Campfire sends every vendor invoice through structured approval chains based on defined policies. Approvers are selected automatically using factors such as invoice amount, expense category, department, and supplier type. Workflows can run in sequence, in parallel, or follow conditional paths depending on the situation. Escalation rules can be applied if approvals are delayed, helping keep invoices moving. Each approver receives full invoice details and supporting documents within the workflow, so decisions can be made quickly without switching systems. This creates a consistent and controlled process for managing approvals across the business.
Campfire reduces delays by sending invoices straight to the right approvers without manual handling. If someone is unavailable, escalation paths ensure the process continues without interruption. Approval policies are enforced at every step, so no invoice is processed without the required authorisation. This strengthens internal controls and reduces exposure to fraud. Managers can review and approve invoices from mobile devices, making it easier to keep approvals moving even when they are away from their desks. A faster approval cycle helps ensure payments are processed on time and operations run without disruption.
Campfire records every approval action automatically, including timestamps, approver details, comments, and decision context. This creates a complete audit trail that supports compliance requirements and internal reviews. Approval policies reflect spending rules and delegation limits, ensuring they are applied consistently across all teams and entities. Reporting tools provide insight into approval cycle times, highlight bottlenecks, and track any policy exceptions. This gives finance leaders clear visibility into how approvals are managed and where improvements can be made, helping maintain strong governance across the accounts payable process.
