Workflow Automation & Governance
Choose better. Approve better. Track better.
Improve every stage of the Capex lifecycle.
Capex Requests
Get a clearer picture of capital expenditure requests. Finario automatically adapts to the type and status of the project, as well as the demands of your process, so you have exactly the data you need for each, while eliminating that which is not applicable.Â
Approval Workflow​
Automate capital expenditure requests to streamline and standardize the management of Capex across your enterprise. Proper authorization is an essential discipline and a mark of sound corporate governance. Improve every element of your process with our best-of-breed solution.
Rules Engine​
Generic workflow platforms and their slick visual workflow builders were not designed for the complexity of Capex. Finario’s rules engine is purpose-built to handle enterprise Capex approval effortlessly. Eliminate delays, manual workarounds and IT support headaches forever.
Enterprise Governance
Sound Capex governance goes way beyond routing to the correct approver. Currency conversions, entity data permission structures, ad-hoc approval options, backup approver provisions, audit trails, re-approval rules and data requirements must all be managed and respected seamlessly.
Stage Gates​
Manage the development and approval of complex projects from initial feasibility through post-completion review. Use your stage gate process to provide unparalleled control of costs, project data and management authorizations from start to finish.Â
