Case Study 01

Steuart Nutrition

Accounts Payable Automation
Industry
Packaging & Containers Manufacturing
Company Size
11-50 employees
Founded
2019
Location
United States

The Challenge

The accounts payable team was spending 2-3 hours each day manually processing invoices across Gmail, Bill.com, and QuickBooks Online.

What We Built

We built a unified AP automation dashboard using AI email classification and OCR to identify invoices, extract invoice data, monitor QuickBooks for new purchase order invoices, and pre-populate Bill.com through direct API integrations. A human review step gives the team control before bills are created.

The Impact

85-90%

Less Manual Work

Invoice processing went from hours to minutes, saving approximately 10-15 hours per week.

Lead Nurturing Automation
Industry
Residential Construction & Remodeling
Company Size
2-10 employees
Location
United States

The Challenge

Griffin Group was managing lead intake and follow-up manually, creating inconsistent response times and increasing the risk of leads falling through the cracks.

What We Built

We built a multistage lead nurturing system that captures website inquiries, sends personalized email and SMS follow-ups, manages questionnaires, and guides qualified prospects toward discovery calls and in-person appointments. AI helps personalize outreach and interpret inbound SMS responses, with human review when needed.

The Impact

< 5 min

Lead Response Time

Response times dropped from up to 36 hours, while manual lead handling decreased by approximately 80%.

Formed Plastics Inc.

PDF Data Extraction Automation
Industry
Plastics Manufacturing
Company Size
51-200 employees
Founded
1946
Location
United States

The Challenge

Years of valuable pricing data were stored in unstructured PDF invoices, making it difficult to track historical costs and compare price changes.

What We Built

We built a PDF OCR automation system that extracts item numbers, prices, dates, and vendor information from invoices and stores the data in a structured, searchable database. A custom dashboard gives the team quick access to pricing history by item or part number.

The Impact

20+ hours

Saved by Automation

The system processes historical invoices and incoming PDFs automatically, making pricing data easier to search, compare, and analyze.

//Common QuestionsFAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q1How do I know if AI automation is right for my business?

If your team spends time on repetitive tasks, manual data entry, or switching between systems, AI automation can likely improve efficiency. We start by identifying the highest-value opportunities before recommending any solution.

Q2What types of business processes can you automate?

We automate repetitive workflows across sales, customer support, operations, finance, marketing, and internal processes. Common examples include lead follow-up, document processing, reporting, scheduling, and data synchronization.

Q3Can AI work with the software we already use?

Yes. We build AI solutions that integrate with your existing CRM, ERP, project management platforms, and other business tools, so you don't have to replace the systems your team already uses.

Q4How do you decide what to automate first?

Every project starts with a discovery process. We analyze your workflows, identify bottlenecks, and recommend the automation opportunities that will deliver the greatest business value with the lowest implementation risk.

Q5How long does an AI automation project take?

Simple workflow automation projects can often be completed within a few weeks. More advanced AI implementation projects typically take several months, depending on complexity, integrations, and business requirements.

Q6Can we start with a small AI project?

Absolutely. Many businesses begin with a single workflow or pilot project. Starting small reduces risk, demonstrates value quickly, and creates a foundation for future AI initiatives.

Q7How do you measure the success of an AI project?

Success is measured by business outcomes, not just technology. We focus on metrics such as time saved, operational efficiency, reduced manual work, faster response times, improved accuracy, and overall business value.

Q8How much does AI automation consulting cost?

Project costs depend on your business needs, the complexity of your workflows, and the level of AI implementation required. Many businesses start with a fixed-scope discovery or pilot project before expanding.
