How Approvals & Collaboration Work for You

Bill Approval vs Payment Authorization

The person reviewing a bill isn’t always the one releasing funds. MakersHub separates these steps to keep approvals accurate and control over payments in the right hands.

Built for Complexity

Route bills by vendor, project, GL code, department, amount, or more - so your AP approval automation reflects how your business actually operates.

Speed + Control

Approvals move quickly without sacrificing oversight. Approvers see only what’s relevant, keeping decisions confident and efficient.

Collaboration Without Clutter

Finance teams comment and tag in-app, project managers see just their jobs, and vendors receive invoice summaries by email. No logins or manual follow-ups required.

Transparency for Everyone

One source of truth for bills, approvals, and communications reduces bottlenecks and provides a complete audit trail.

Automation is Only as Good as your Data

Approvals are only as smart as the context behind them. MakersHub captures vendor, totals, line items, GL codes, projects, customers, and jobs — so each bill is routed and reviewed with the full context from the start.

Contextual, Multi-Step Approvals

Approvals rarely stop with one person. MakersHub supports multi-step AP approvals involving project managers, department heads, finance, and executives for high-value spend. Approvals can run in sequence or in parallel, keeping things efficient while enforcing oversight.

Collaboration in Real Time

Finance teams can tag colleagues, leave comments, and resolve questions right in the platform. Vendors receive invoice summaries with links to original bills by email, so they stay informed without needing a MakersHub account.

Enforcing Separation by Design

MakersHub keeps bill approvals and payment authorizations distinct through role-based permissions, configurable workflows, and a centralized audit trail; ensuring accuracy at the bill level and control at the payment level.

In Their Words

“What we love most about MakersHub is its ease of use. The fact that it is sophisticated enough to be used by our multiple locations and managers that need to have clear exposure in order to approve bills timely and then move through our multi layered internal approval process is a game-changer.”
