Automated Document Workflows for Kenya & East Africa
Send documents to the right reviewers and see where each review stands. Set up approval steps without writing code. Your team chooses the rules and who can act.
How many people must approve?
Any One
One approver is enough
All
Every approver is required
Specific Number
A configured threshold, e.g. 2 of 4
Example with four reviewers. Choose how many approvals each stage needs. Set signature requirements separately.

How it works and what to check
When a document moves between inboxes, it can be hard to see who needs to act. Dockria brings the file, review steps and recorded decisions into one process.
Use the visual designer to choose review stages, assign people and set routing rules. Check notification delivery and any escalation rules in your setup before relying on them.
State-based access control means that a document's permissions change automatically as it progresses through a workflow. A draft purchase order might be editable by the requester, read-only for the finance reviewer, and locked once approved. These transitions happen automatically, reducing the risk of unauthorised modifications.
Configured workflows can support document review and record decisions. Approval does not itself place an order, make a payment or establish compliance. Verify available history and notification behaviour for the intended process.
Choose how many people must approve each stage: Any One, All or a Specific Number, such as two out of four. This is called an approval quorum. Set any electronic-signature requirement separately; a workflow setting does not prove the signature meets a legal trust level.
Real organisations have to keep moving when key people are away. Substitute signing lets approvers nominate a delegate to act on their behalf during leave or absence, with full audit logging of who signed for whom and under what authority, so workflows continue without piling up in empty inboxes. Workflows can also wait on the wider document network: a transition can be configured to hold until a related document reaches a specific state, such as a contract waiting for its supporting due-diligence report to be approved before it can be signed.
Key Benefits
Visual Workflow Designer
Build complex approval chains with a drag-and-drop interface, no technical skills required.
Approval Quorum Modes
Configure each stage to advance on Any One approver, All approvers, or a Specific Number, so decision rules are encoded directly into every process.
Substitute Signing
Approvers can nominate a delegate to sign on their behalf during leave or absence, with full audit logging of who acted for whom and under what authority.
Signature Requirement Modes
Choose per stage whether approvers click to approve or must apply a formal electronic signature at a specified trust level before their decision is recorded.
Related-Document Conditions
Hold a transition until a related document reaches a required state, perfect for contracts that must wait for supporting reports to be approved first.
Conditional Routing
Route documents to different approvers based on document type, value thresholds, department, or any custom criteria.
Automatic Escalation
Set time-based escalation rules so documents never sit idle. If an approver does not act within the deadline, the system escalates automatically.
State-Based Access
Document permissions change automatically as a workflow progresses, ensuring the right people have the right access at the right time.
Industry Use Cases
County governments automate memo approvals, procurement authorisations, and inter-departmental correspondence routing.
Factories route Standard Operating Procedures through engineering review, safety approval, and management sign-off before publication.
Banks automate loan document processing, routing applications through credit analysis, compliance review, and final approval stages.
Law firms use workflows to manage contract review cycles, ensuring all parties review and approve documents in the correct order.
