Egret Cloud's AI-Intelligent Approval Enables "Voice Approval, Intelligent Summarization, and Data Support" to Help Managers Return to the Essence of Decision-Making

In today’s fast-paced business environment, every minute can determine the success or failure of a project. Imagine this scenario: On Monday morning, Supply Chain Manager David discovers that critical raw material inventories are running dangerously low, putting the entire production line at risk of shutting down that afternoon. He immediately submits an urgent purchase request in the system and begins waiting anxiously.

Meanwhile, Chief Financial Officer Sarah is on a business trip. Her pending approval list is filled with dozens of requests, each requiring careful review. Following traditional processes, she would need to: open David’s application → read through a dozen-page supplier comparison report → examine technical parameter details → type a reply amid a bumpy ride… Each delay in this process consumes the company’s valuable resources and opportunities.

This is exactly the core pain point that Egret Cloud’s 「AI Intelligent Approval」 function aims to solve. Let’s see how intelligent approval reshapes this scenario:

Three Revolutionary Innovations of Intelligent Approval

1. Intelligent Summarization: Understand Business in Seconds
Sarah clicks the voice broadcast function, and the AI accurately extracts the core of the application within seconds: “David requests an emergency purchase of XX parts, amounting to ¥50,000. The original supplier is out of stock. Supplier B is recommended, with a price 5% below market rate. Delivery is requested today.” This function, based on advanced NLP technology, understands key information in business documents, reducing average reading time from 15 minutes to 30 seconds.

2. Voice Approval: Command at Your Convenience
After understanding the situation, Sarah directly replies by voice: “Approved. Please ensure the procurement team delivers today and informs the production line to prepare for receipt. Also, request the quality inspection department to strengthen inbound checks.” The system instantly converts her voice into accurate text annotations, supports mixed Chinese and English input, and ensures efficient approval even in mobile scenarios.

3. Data Support: Decision-Making with Confidence
Before finalizing her approval, Sarah wants to verify the supplier’s qualifications. She directly asks: “Please show Supplier B’s delivery qualification rate and breach of contract record from last year.” The AI immediately retrieves ERP system data: *“Qualification rate: 99.8%; no breach of contract in 12 months; comprehensive score: 4.8/5.”* This provides a solid data foundation for decision-making.

The Multiplier Effect of Intelligent Approval

The value of this system goes far beyond speeding up individual approvals. Statistics show that companies using Egret Cloud’s Intelligent Approval generally achieve:

  • 70% reduction in approval cycles, from an average of 3 days to 0.5 days
  • 2 hours daily saved for management on approval tasks
  • 60% decrease in approval errors
  • 40% improvement in employee satisfaction

A manufacturing customer shared: *“During last year’s peak season, we processed 200+ urgent applications timely through the intelligent approval system, avoiding potential production halts and recovering potential losses of over ¥3 million.”*

Deep-Level Value of Intelligent Approval

1. Enhanced Risk Control
The system has built-in compliance checks that automatically identify unusual applications. When approval amounts exceed authority limits or suppliers pose risks, it immediately issues warnings and recommends escalated approval processes.

2. Automated Knowledge Preservation
All decision-making logic, approval comments, and data analysis results from the approval process are automatically categorized and archived, forming an exclusive corporate knowledge base. New employees can quickly get up to speed by studying historical approval cases, and similar decisions can leverage past successful experiences, significantly reducing training costs and decision-making risks.

3. Visual Process Optimization
The AI analyzes bottleneck areas in the approval process and generates optimization suggestions. For example, one company found that technical evaluation was the most time-consuming part of procurement approvals. After adjusting the process based on this insight, efficiency improved by 35%.

4. Strengthened Compliance and Auditing
The system automatically records complete approval trails, including voice-to-text content, data query records, and decision timestamps, providing comprehensive evidence for compliance audits and meeting the requirements of public companies and internal controls.

Stepping into a New Era of Intelligent Decision-Making

The true value of intelligent approval lies in freeing managers from tedious operational processes, allowing them to focus on the most valuable aspect: decision-making itself. With AI assistance, every decision becomes more data-driven, precise, and efficient.

As one customer noted: “Now I am no longer an ‘operator’ of the approval process but have returned to being a true decision-maker. The AI not only handles repetitive tasks but also accumulates valuable decision-making assets for us through knowledge preservation, continuously enhancing our team’s overall decision-making capabilities.”
