The approval process is an integral aspect of any organization. It allows different levels of the organization to approve works such as invoices, budget, marketing initiatives, content, or project outlines. 

When done manually, it is a slow process that will often lead to the creation of piles of pending approvals, reducing the overall productivity and efficiency of your business. And when not integrated into the workflow where the task awaiting approval lies, it gets harder to manage and keep track of where in the approval process work is.  

Fortunately, you can use approval software like the one by Hipporello together with project management software like Trello to streamline the process and make it something you can complete during your morning cup of coffee. 

What is Hipporello’s Approvals Power-up?

Hipporello’s Approvals is a Trello power-up that allows users to streamline approval processes starting from requesting approvals, receiving approvals, approving requests, and even rejecting requests. All this is done on a Trello portal that brings together data from different projects and departments, providing a wider and more convenient access to allow easier approval. 

Why integrate approvals in your daily workflow?

An approval app will revolutionize the way you receive and handle your approval processes. Here are a few reasons you should seriously consider getting an approval app:

They Boost Productivity

By allowing you to streamline all requests across platforms and from different shareholders, approval apps make the approval process fast and efficient. They eliminate the need to have extraneous formalities in request approval and make the process of submitting requests easier for clients and partners. Approval apps help you save time and effort.

Avoid Miscommunication by Streamlining Information 

Through automated streamlining, the approval process is made more accurate. All requests made get to the proper destination, and all approvals that need to be made are executed without delay. 

There is no room for misplacing requests or forgetting approvals, let alone mixing them up. Approval apps also come with the capacity to give notifications on Trello about new requests or requests that still have not been attended to.

Improve Customer Experience Through Faster Communication

Approval apps centralize all approval processes and communications in a single place that can be managed on your organizer’s dashboard. Customer requests can be attended to swiftly and accurately, making their experience with you enjoyable and efficient. Even better when your approvals process is built on the platform - Trello - where you're already working with your team.

Why Have an Approval Power-up on Trello?

Trello is a collaboration platform that makes it easy for businesses to bring together different projects, dashboards, and lists to allow easy access for everyone who needs them.

Here is how Hipporello's Approvals Power-up works with Trello to bring you all the benefits of approval software and more:

1. Request approval for a task on the card simply by hitting a button. Simplify processes, save time

With the Hipporello Approval App, requesting approvals for tasks is only a button away on your Trello dashboard. Hipporello eliminated the need for extensive paperwork with digitized documents. Simplifying the process in this way saves time and resources. It is also easy to integrate because Trello is already used to manage other projects. 

2. Use Trello's Kanban to see where in the approval process a Trello card is

Trello’s Kanban allows you to visualize workflows and make any changes necessary to improve the efficiency of a process. Therefore, you can use the same technology to track how approval is going to promptly notice any issues and fix them. This will let you keep clients and partners updated about the progress of their applications as well, promoting trust, accountability, and transparency.

3. Manage approvals where your team is already collaborating

Since approval apps create an overview of all the approvals and at what stage they are in their respective processes, team managers can easily detect duplicate requests for service and reject them. They can also manage any approval processes on projects that your team is already working on.

4. Get other business Power-ups on Trello, in addition to Approvals, and turn Trello into your business hub

Trello is well known for being an innovative leader in project management dashboard software. Some of the capabilities provided by Trello include automation of tasks or predetermined processes such as data entry, tracking workflows, and creating files or checklists. In addition to all of that, you can easily customize your Trello dashboard for the needs of your team and company at large.

Trello power-ups by Hipporello contribute to the way Trello works as with Hipporello you get end-to-end business process solutions with web pages on a web portal, forms, email integrations, automations and more. 

Streamline Your Approval Processes All In One Place

Hipporello’s Approval Power-up is a great integration for your Trello dashboard. Most times, approval processes are overlooked when it comes to automation. But using Hipporello's Approvals Power-up will allow you to stay ahead of the pack and prove to your customers, team members, and partners that you care about their experience with you.
