Holidays, busy weeks and your inbox

Nobody waits for an approver on a beach

An approval that sits still because someone is away costs money. So every approver arranges their own cover, and picks when Glimps mails them.

Cover, with a start and end date

Pick a colleague and the dates. During that period your approvals also reach your delegate, and the invoice shows both names. On the end date it stops by itself.

Mails on your rhythm

Straight away for every invoice, one digest a day or a week, on the days you pick, or not at all. The digest can show only what is new and carry the PDF.

What is urgent stands out

An invoice that is due soon or overdue and not yet approved gets a label in your list and on the invoice. If someone is away unexpectedly, an administrator reassigns the approval.
