FAQs
What shipment attributes can trigger an approval workflow?
Any shipment attribute can trigger an approval in Agistix, including destination country, commodity classification, dollar value, mode, hazmat status, lane, and business unit. Rules can be built from a single attribute or any combination, giving compliance, finance, and EHS teams precise control over which shipments require review before they move.
Can approval workflows be configured by business unit or location?
Yes. Agistix supports approval workflow configurations at the business unit and location level, allowing different teams or facilities to operate under their own approval rules and reviewer pools while maintaining a centralized audit trail across the organization.
Can external reviewers be included in an approval workflow?
Yes. Approval flows in Agistix can include external reviewers such as customs brokers, trade compliance consultants, or third-party EHS advisors. External reviewers access the approval request through a role-based portal without requiring a full platform login.
