Solution

Approvals in minutes, not phone tag.

Short answer: A good fleet repair approval process sends the fleet a clear estimate, lets them approve or decline each line, blocks unapproved lines from the invoice and keeps them informed while they decide. MetaFleet does each step through estimate links, the customer portal and status texts, and can auto-approve small estimates for customers who set a dollar threshold.

How it works

Step by step.

  1. Estimate sent. A link, no login.
  2. Line by line. Approve or decline each line.
  3. Guardrail. Unapproved lines stay off the invoice.
  4. Status. Texts and ETA emails.

Why approvals stall

Approvals stall when the fleet manager gets a phone call with no detail, cannot see photos, or must approve all or nothing. Line-level approval with the technician's findings and photos lets a manager say yes to the safety items and defer the rest.

Approval bypass for trusted accounts

Each customer can have a dollar threshold: estimates at or under it are approved automatically, and larger ones go to the fleet for sign-off. For account customers who have pre-authorized work, staff can skip the approval step on a job.

Questions

Can a fleet approve part of an estimate?

Yes, line by line.

Can small repairs skip approval?

Yes. Estimates at or under the customer's dollar threshold are approved automatically.

Does the fleet need an account?

Estimate links work without a login; the portal adds history.
