Use Case

Automate Procurement Approvals — Without Sending PO Data to the Cloud

Approval workflows stall. Approvers are unavailable. Thresholds are inconsistently applied. dodoAI enforces your approval logic inside your network — no cloud intermediary sees your vendor data.

Where procurement approvals break down

The Problem

Manual routing creates four failure modes

  • PO approval bottlenecks — approvers become single points of failure for dozens of concurrent requests
  • Threshold violations — different teams apply spending limits inconsistently across categories
  • Manual routing errors — requests sent to wrong approver tiers, causing delays and rework
  • Fragmented audit gaps — approval decisions scattered across email threads with no structured log
The Solution

Agent-enforced routing against your policy file

  • Agent classifies each purchase request against your category-level policy file — no human classification required
  • Threshold checks applied consistently — same rules, every request, every time
  • Correct approver tier selected from your approval matrix — escalation only where genuinely required
  • Structured decision log written to your audit storage — rule applied, inputs, decision, justification, timestamp

Procurement approval flow

Measurable process outcomes

Hours, not days
Approval cycle time

Routine approvals that previously waited for available human reviewers are classified and routed in minutes. Escalations go directly to the right approver without manual triage.

100% consistent
Policy application

The same approval rules applied to every PO request, across every category, by every team. No threshold drift, no exceptions by habit, no routing by relationship.

Full audit trail
Decision logging

Every decision logged with rule applied, input values, decision output, and justification. Exportable for compliance review. Stored on your infrastructure, not ours.
