Bills pile up at month-end, and approval chains for them are inconsistent. The work is routing and follow-up, not judgment, which makes it a clean fit for an agent.

Flo reads the bill, matches it to the spend owner and the PO, drafts the right approval chain, and routes it. It chases laggards and records every step for the close.

Flo routes and records. Finance approves and pays. The approval trail is clean and complete. Nobody assembles it by hand.
