Most NetSuite approval processes are workarounds — emails forwarded to managers, status fields updated manually, and escalations handled over WhatsApp.
Our NetSuite Smart Approvals module replaces all of it with a structured, auditable approval workflow engine built natively inside Oracle NetSuite.
