Capture and Route CapEx Requests for Approval

Using capital expenditure request forms to ensure compliant financial information is captured can significantly reduce errors and increase approval cycles. However, capturing information in Excel templates, paper forms, or other manual means can drain most organizations’ time and resources , especially if the CapEx request volume is high.

Using Nutrient Workflow’s Workflow Management software, our clients have significantly improved Capital Expenditure (CapEx) request management processes within their organizations, allowing them to process online approvals and routing and reducing the total approval time by up to 30%.

In addition, finance executives can track CapEx requests and capital spending patterns better because all request data is captured consistently in a central location and fully auditable and exportable to outside reporting systems.
