The challenge

JM Financial needed a system to manage the flow of internal business decisions across stakeholders and approval tiers. Without a formal tracking layer, decisions moved through email threads and offline channels with no audit trail, no status visibility, and no accountability at each approval stage. The business required a purpose-built framework that matched their approval hierarchy without imposing a generic workflow tool.

How we approached it

Appetals designed and built a decisioning and approval framework specific to JM Financial's operational structure. The system captured decision initiation, routed items to the correct approval tier, tracked status at each stage, and produced a complete audit record on completion. The framework was built around JM Financial's existing authority matrix rather than requiring the organisation to adapt to a standard tool.

Technical scope: Decision workflow engine, multi-tier approval routing, status tracking dashboard, audit log and history, role-based access aligned to approval authority.
