Think about the last time you needed a simple request approved at work. Was it a leave request? An expense report? Or a new hire requisition? Chances are, it wasn’t a quick, seamless process. It likely involved sending an email, following up a day later, and then another follow-up, all while the request sat in a bottleneck, often someone’s inbox.
In a fast-paced business environment, these delays aren’t just frustrating; they have a real cost. They slow down key business operations, reduce employee morale, and waste countless hours on administrative follow-ups.
This is the very problem PahappaHR is designed to solve. By digitising and automating every step of the approval process, it eliminates bottlenecks, provides complete transparency, and ensures that approvals are handled with the speed and efficiency modern businesses demand.
Top 3 challenges of Manual Approval Processes
- Time-Consuming and Labour-Intensive
Manual approval processes involve physical paperwork, signatures, and manual tracking, which can be extremely time-consuming. This leads to delays in decision-making and slows down business operations.
- Lack of Transparency and Accountability
Manual processes make it difficult to track the status of approvals, leading to a lack of transparency. It’s also challenging to hold individuals accountable for delays or errors, as there’s no clear audit trail.
- Prone to Errors and Miscommunication
Manual approval processes are more susceptible to human error, such as lost documents, misplaced signatures, or miscommunication. This can lead to further delays, rework, and frustration among team members.
How PahappaHR enables faster approvals and reduced delays

Real-time Alerts and Notifications
PahappaHR sends instant alerts to managers and relevant approvers via email or mobile push notifications whenever a new request is awaiting their action. This proactive system ensures that no request is overlooked, significantly reducing delays caused by forgotten or buried emails.
Employee Self-Service (ESS) Portal
