CODA-Workflow is a dynamic, new application that automates cumbersome, repetitive manual administration processes, such as the flow of accounting documents for approval and authorization.

Requests are automatically e-mailed to the relevant authorizers’ mailboxes to alert them that a document requires their attention, enabling them to process it without delay. Because authorizers respond by completing fields within the email itself, the process is simple and swift: they do not need to open the actual application; or have it on their machine; or even be users of it (a major benefit for higher level authorizers, such as CEOs or CFOs).

Where multiple inputs are required for decision-making, the workflow can be set to work in parallel (contacting all relevant authorizers at the same time) or serially (passing from person to person in a user-definable order). The latter has the additional advantage that higher-level authorizers know that the requests have already been filtered and checked by the people before them in the chain.
