How it works

One question. The cited answer, with approval path.

The documentation exists. The problem is access. Squirro unifies your policy corpus and makes it conversational — a question asked in Teams returns a cited, policy-grounded answer in under three seconds, with the correct approval path attached. No ticket raised. No colleague interrupted. No out-of-policy submission that bounces back.

CHANNEL

Employee asks via Teams or any configured channel

Plain language. No ticket to raise. No colleague to interrupt. No portal to navigate.

Cited answer and approval path returned

Exact policy document, clause number, approval threshold, and authority. Fully traceable and audit-ready.

Approval chainLine Manager → Department Head

A CHF 8,000 conference trip falls in the CHF 1,000 – 10,000 travel band, which routes to Line Manager, then Department Head.

That chain came from the approval matrix, not from a policy document. I extract the category and the amount from your question; the governed table decides the route.

ESCALATION

Complex cases escalated with context

Genuine edge cases reach finance pre-loaded with the question, employee context, and relevant policy excerpt. The repetitive volume never reaches the team.
