Digital application routes & approval processes

Applications, checks and approvals are part of the central processes in every organization

From paper process to digital workflow

These processes in administration, the financial sector and industry are often still characterized by paper, emails and manual coordination. This slows down decisions, leads to media disruptions – and causes frustration among citizens, customers and employees alike.

These processes are fully automated with digital application routes and approval processes. Applications can be submitted online, automatically checked and digitally approved – transparently, efficiently and traceably. This benefits everyone involved: citizens and customers through quick decisions, employees through clear processes and organizations through greater efficiency and traceability.

We design and implement workflows that are geared towards your specialist logic – based on open workflow engines (BPMN 2.0), rule-based process control and integration into existing IT environments.

Transparent processes with clear responsibilities

Shorter processing times and better service quality for citizens, customers and partners

Relieving the burden on employees through digital workflows

Automated checks, notifications and escalations

Standardized, seamless application and approval processes

Audit-proof documentation and compliance security

Use cases for digital application routes & approval processes

Digital loan and funding applications

Whether it's a development program, corporate loan or financing in a B2B context - application data, documents and evidence are automatically checked, validated and controlled by digital workflows. decisions are made faster and more comprehensibly, while applicants can view the processing status at any time.

Building and approval procedures in the administration

From online application to notification: citizens submit applications digitally, receive status reports in real time, and case handlers process cases in a structured and comprehensible manner. This improves processing times and citizen satisfaction.

Budget and resource approvals

Digital approval processes replace e-mail loops and paper forms. Applications run through defined roles and audit trails - decisions are faster, more secure and documented at all times.

Procurement and investment processes

Approvals are automatically managed according to rules, amount limits and responsibilities. This reduces throughput times and increases transparency for decision-makers.

Personnel processes

Vacation requests, new hires or contract changes are processed digitally - with automatic notifications, deadline monitoring and traceable approvals.

Funding and grant management

Organizations benefit from digital application portals, automated completeness checks and transparent processing status - for greater speed and traceability.
