The staff and volunteers at nonprofits are often required to spend out of their pockets for expenses that contribute to the organization’s mission. They expect such expenses to be reimbursed quickly. The lack of a streamlined approval workflow results in delayed approvals leaving staff and volunteers frustrated. Given the data- and labor-intensive tasks like submitting receipts, filling out forms, obtaining approvals at multiple levels in manual reimbursement workflows, nonprofits struggle to complete them on time. 

Manual approval processes are marked with paper-based forms and email-based approvals, which are time consuming and error-prone. The reimbursement approval is marred by missing receipts, lost documentation, and incomplete forms, when carried out manually. The lack of standardization leads to inconsistencies in the way reimbursements are handled, which frustrates employees and reduces efficiency of the organization.  

Workflow automation comes as a powerful solution that handles all these challenges. Cflow is a no code workflow automation solution that automates and streamlines the approval workflow. Nonprofits can create standardized workflows that ensure that all reimbursements are reviewed and approved accurately, on time. This feature rich workflow automation solution reduces the administrative load on staff and volunteers, which allows them to focus on more mission-critical tasks.
