Hippo CMMS Doesn't Fix Your Approval Delays Problem
Hippo CMMS lacks automated approval routing and field notifications, stalling work while waiting for admin authorization.
How Approval Delays Actually Works With Hippo CMMS

Where Hippo CMMS Falls Short
But when it comes to approval delays, Hippo CMMS leaves a gap:
- −No custom forms for regulatory checks
- −No offline mapping database

Signs You Have a Approval Delays Problem (Even With Hippo CMMS)
- !Techs wait hours or days for a supervisor to approve a scope change
- !Paper approval forms get lost between the field and the office
- !Nobody knows where a pending approval is in the chain
The Cost of Leaving This Gap Open
Every stalled approval idles a crew at $75–$150/hour. A single day of approval delay on a 3-person crew costs $600–$1,800 in unproductive labor.
Hippo CMMS Can't Fix This Because:
Hippo CMMS lacks automated approval routing and field notifications, stalling work while waiting for admin authorization.
