The reliable spine
The reliable spine is non-AI: the routing rules, the approval limits, the budget and contract-rate checks and the exception queue are deterministic, and every decision is recorded against the figure and the limit it was judged on.
Facility Management & Staffing
Approval Workflows
The decisions that move real money in a facility or staffing operator are approved over a phone call or a WhatsApp message and never recorded: an off-rate purchase order signed at site, a credit note or write-off raised to settle a client dispute, an out-of-roster extra deployment, an overtime or reliever cost outside plan, a discount on a bid, a wage advance. Nobody can see who approved what, against which limit, on what basis; the approval happens after the spend, not before; and when a dispute or an audit asks for the trail, there is none.
Who has it
Every segment, sharpest where an approval crosses operations, finance and compliance owners at once: write-offs and credit notes on disputed client invoices, off-contract purchases at site, extra deployment and overtime beyond the roster, and bid discounts on a pursuit.
What we build
A governed approval workflow for the spend and commitment decisions that matter: each request carries the one current record, the named requester and approver, the source-linked figures it turns on (the contract rate, the budget, the ageing, the roster), the limit it is checked against, and an exception path when it breaches one. Write-offs, credit notes, off-rate purchase orders, out-of-plan deployment and overtime, and bid discounts route to the right approver before the commitment is made, and every approval leaves a dated trail.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for the approval requests, for example reading a vendor invoice or a credit-note request into structured fields; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Spend and commitment decisions are approved before they happen, by the right owner, against a visible limit; the approval trail exists when a client dispute or an audit asks for it; the leaks that used to be approved verbally after the fact get caught at the gate.
Illustrative outcome
Off-limit spend, write-offs and out-of-plan deployment caught at the gate instead of discovered at month-end, with a dated approval trail for every commitment. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
