Streamlined Clearance Request Application for Faster Department Approvals

How Iqra Technology built a Joget DX-powered clearance request application for a large-scale Japanese energy company — replacing manual multi-department sign-off with a structured, fast-tracked digital clearance workflow.

Client Overview

A large-scale energy and utilities company in Japan requiring structured clearance approvals across multiple departments for operational, personnel, and project-related activities. Clearance requests — such as equipment releases, project sign-offs, and personnel movement authorizations — required sign-off from multiple department heads before proceeding.

The existing clearance process was entirely manual: requesters submitted paper forms or emailed individual department heads sequentially, with no centralized tracking, no guaranteed response deadlines, and no visibility into which departments had cleared and which were still pending.

Iqra Technology was engaged to build a digital clearance request application on Joget DX that routes requests to all required departments simultaneously or in sequence based on clearance type, tracks completion status in real time, and escalates automatically when any department exceeds its clearance SLA.

Project Overview

The project delivered a Joget DX clearance request platform that digitizes the complete clearance lifecycle — from submission through multi-department routing, departmental sign-off, escalation management, and final authorization. Requesters interact with a simple digital form while department approvers receive structured task assignments with full request context.

The system supports both parallel clearance (all departments simultaneously) and sequential clearance (one department triggers the next) based on clearance type — giving the organization flexibility to enforce the appropriate governance model for each request category.

Client Requirements

  • Build a digital clearance request submission portal accessible to all operational staff.
  • Support both parallel and sequential multi-department clearance routing based on request type.
  • Provide requesters with real-time visibility into which departments have cleared and which are pending.
  • Enforce SLA deadlines for each department's clearance response with automatic escalation.
  • Enable department approvers to approve, reject, or request further information within the workflow.
  • Maintain a complete audit trail of all clearance actions, timestamps, and approver identities.
  • Generate automated notifications to approvers and requesters at each workflow stage.
  • Provide management reports on clearance volumes, average completion times, and bottleneck departments.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1Clearance requests stalled whenever a single department was slow to respond — with no SLA enforcement or escalation mechanism, one delayed approver could hold up an entire operational process for days without any management visibility.
SolutionImplemented configurable SLA timers per department in Joget. If a department does not complete its clearance within the defined window, the system automatically sends a reminder to the approver and escalates to their manager — ensuring no clearance request is silently delayed.
Problem 2Requesters had no visibility into the status of their clearance requests after submission — they could not see which departments had completed their sign-off and which were outstanding, leading to manual follow-up calls that consumed both requester and approver time.
SolutionBuilt a real-time clearance status dashboard within the Joget portal showing requesters the live status of each department's clearance — with visual indicators for cleared, pending, and escalated departments — eliminating all manual status follow-ups.
Problem 3Different clearance types required different routing logic — some needed all departments to sign off simultaneously while others required strict sequencing — but the manual process applied the same informal approach to all, causing governance inconsistencies.
SolutionConfigured dynamic routing rules in Joget Process Builder that automatically apply the correct routing model (parallel or sequential) based on the clearance type selected at submission — ensuring appropriate governance is always enforced without manual configuration.
