Pros
Cons

Low-Code Customization:

Offers a powerful low-code engine to build highly specific approval workflows without needing a developer.

Process Flexibility:

Excellent for businesses with unique, non-standard procurement rules that require multi-step conditional logic.

Implementation Time:

Building custom low-code workflows requires more initial effort and training compared to the plug-and-play nature of AP automation.
