Abstract
Systems and processes for remote provisioning of manager approval are described. A point-of-sale application on a worker mobile device can send a request for manager approval to perform a transaction-related action for which a worker lacks sufficient permissions. A manager application on a remote manager device can display a notification of the request and can also present additional information regarding the request (and historical requests), including a queue of pending requests that can be generated and updated according to priority rules and transaction conditions. The manager application receives an indication of the manager's approval to the worker mobile device. In response, the worker mobile device can automatically perform the action. In some configurations, an intermediate device (e.g., a local or remote server device) can execute the manager application and can add data and capabilities to the system and processes.
