Built around how engineering firms actually bill.
project stages, time charges and variation orders.
delivery, approval and payment are tied to long project timelines.
unapproved variations can look overdue while commercial review is active.

One controlled route from signal to outcome.
let ordinary actions run while high-risk or unusual cases wait for a person. Thresholds and approvers are visible before a sequence goes live.

CSV import data contract
Use the ledger as truth. Add the decision layer it lacks.
A validated import creates the invoice state used by the playbook; later files update matching records through stable identifiers. Map required columns, validate sample rows and define the import owner before any automated action is permitted.
Evidence remains attached to the decision.
For this workflow, DueHello keeps threshold matched, approver identity, decision and final action. The team can see what happened without reconstructing it from inboxes.

Questions before you put it into production.
How is approval by exception used by a engineering firm?+
DueHello monitors project stages, time charges and variation orders, applies the configured receivables policy and records why each action was sent, paused or routed to project director and commercial finance.
What data does DueHello use from CSV import?+
The workflow uses stable invoice and customer IDs, issue date and due date, open amount and currency, payment, dispute and owner status. A validated import creates the invoice state used by the playbook; later files update matching records through stable identifiers.
What stops the approval by exception workflow?+
The workflow stops or changes route when an authorised person approves, edits or rejects the action. DueHello then separate genuine delay from certification or variation-order review.
Does DueHello replace the finance or account team?+
No. DueHello performs the permitted follow-up and brings exceptions to the accountable person with the context and evidence needed to decide.
Map this against real invoices.
Bring one month of project stages, time charges and variation orders. We will map the policy, exceptions and CSV import data route with your team.
