The Exact Tools Inside APES
A screen-by-screen look at the real product — how it's built, and how it runs.
Eight Screens. Building It and Running It.
APES is two things: a no-code builder for your processes, and the engine that enforces them. Both are shown below.
Module & Collection Builder
Where you define what the system tracks — before any rule or approval touches it.
- ✓Create collections (entities) with fields, types, and validation — no code
- ✓Link records together with relations, one-to-many or many-to-many
- ✓Add computed fields that calculate automatically from other data
- ✓Changes apply instantly across the module — no redeploy
Multi-Level Approval Chains
Where every request gets routed, reviewed, and signed off — automatically, in the right order.
- ✓Approval chains route by role, department, or transaction amount
- ✓See every pending request and exactly who it's waiting on
- ✓Approve, reject, or delegate in one click — each action time-stamped
- ✓Conditional routing sends different transaction types down different paths
Workflow & Logic Designer
Where the approval chain from Screen 2 actually gets built — drag, connect, configure.
- ✓Drag-and-drop canvas for chaining steps, conditions, and branches
- ✓Set who approves at each step, and what triggers escalation
- ✓Test a workflow end-to-end before publishing it live
- ✓Reuse the same workflow logic across multiple modules
Full Audit Trail
Where every action in the system leaves a permanent, searchable record.
- ✓Every approval, rejection, and override captured automatically
- ✓Filter by user, date range, module, or action type
- ✓See the before-and-after value on every changed record
- ✓Export the log for compliance or an external audit
Form & Page Builder
Where the actual screens your team sees get assembled — the forms, lists, and pages.
- ✓Drag fields onto a form, arrange the layout, set what's required
- ✓Build list and detail pages without a developer
- ✓Preview exactly how it will look before publishing
- ✓Pages update live once published — no deployment step
Live Governance Dashboard
Where managers and auditors see the state of every process, in real time.
- ✓Live counts: pending, approved, rejected, overdue
- ✓Bottleneck view shows exactly where requests are stuck
- ✓Compliance score broken down by department or branch
- ✓Click into any number to see the underlying requests
Roles, Branches & Permission Setup
Where admins configure who belongs where — before any approval ever runs.
- ✓Map roles, departments, and branches to your real org chart
- ✓Set what each role can see, edit, or approve
- ✓Configure temporary delegation for leave or absence
- ✓Every setup change is logged like any other action
Real-Time Alerts
Where the right person finds out the moment something needs them — not at end of day.
- ✓Instant alert the moment a request needs your approval
- ✓Escalation alerts fire automatically if a request sits too long
- ✓Configurable by channel — in-app or email
- ✓Digest view for managers overseeing multiple queues
