Typically, businesses review budget reports monthly to monitor spending and ensure they are aligned with financial goals. In cases where periodic reporting and consistent approval tiers are required, using Collavate’s Reprocess function instead of starting a new approval process each month can be a major boost to efficiency.

Using the Reprocess function, relevant departments can simply update the document content and re-submit under the same approval structure, eliminating the hassle of having to re-configure new reviewers and details each month and ensuring the consistency of the review process.
