Expense approval software and expense approval workflow that routes and policy-checks for you

Approvals stall when they rely on email and memory. An expense sits in someone's inbox for a week, the approver has no easy way to know if it is in policy, and finance discovers problems only after the money is spent. The workflow is supposed to be a control, but it mostly creates delay.
