Case Scenarios
Real examples of how we've replaced manual operations with AI automation systems.
These scenarios show our approach and thinking. Every business is different, but the patterns are consistent: identify bottlenecks, design systems, automate execution.
Scenario 1: SaaS Lead Qualification & Routing
Context
A B2B SaaS company with 50 employees was receiving 200+ inbound leads per week from multiple sources (website forms, demo requests, trial signups). Their sales team was manually reviewing every lead, copying data between systems, and losing opportunities to slow response times.
Problem
The sales team spent 10+ hours per week on lead triage:
- • Manually scoring leads based on company size, industry, and intent signals
- • Copying lead data from forms into their CRM
- • Deciding which rep should handle each lead
- • Sending initial outreach emails
High-intent leads were waiting 24-48 hours for first contact, and low-quality leads were consuming valuable sales time.
Automation System
We built a lead qualification and routing system that:
- • Captures leads from all sources and enriches them with company data
- • Uses AI to score leads based on fit criteria (company size, industry, role, intent signals)
- • Automatically routes high-value leads to the appropriate sales rep based on territory and availability
- • Sends personalized outreach emails within minutes of form submission
- • Flags edge cases for manual review (ambiguous company data, VIP prospects)
Outcome
The sales team eliminated manual lead triage entirely. High-intent leads now receive first contact within 15 minutes, and the team focuses exclusively on qualified conversations. The system handles 200+ leads per week without human intervention, with manual review only for flagged edge cases.
Scenario 2: Support Ticket Triage & Resolution
Context
A marketplace platform with 10,000+ active users was receiving 500+ support tickets per week. Their 5-person support team was overwhelmed with repetitive requests (password resets, account questions, basic troubleshooting) while complex issues sat in the queue.
Problem
The support team was spending 60% of their time on issues that didn't require human expertise:
- • Manually categorizing and prioritizing every ticket
- • Responding to common questions with templated answers
- • Escalating issues to the right specialist
- • Following up on unresolved tickets
Average response time was 12+ hours, and complex issues were buried under routine requests.
Automation System
We built a support triage and resolution system that:
- • Automatically categorizes incoming tickets by type and urgency
- • Uses AI to identify common issues and provide instant resolution (password resets, account questions, basic troubleshooting)
- • Routes complex issues to the appropriate specialist based on expertise and workload
- • Monitors ticket status and automatically follows up on stalled conversations
- • Escalates to human agents when AI confidence is low or customer requests it
Outcome
The system now handles 40% of tickets automatically with instant resolution. The support team focuses exclusively on complex issues that require human expertise. Average response time for automated tickets dropped to under 1 minute, and the team can handle 2x the ticket volume without additional headcount.
Scenario 3: Cross-System Data Synchronization
Context
A service business with 100 employees was using 5 different tools (CRM, project management, billing, scheduling, reporting) that didn't integrate well. Their operations team spent hours each day manually moving data between systems to keep everything in sync.
Problem
The operations team was stuck in a daily cycle of manual data entry:
- • Copying client information from CRM to project management tool
- • Updating billing records when project status changed
- • Manually generating reports by pulling data from multiple systems
- • Reconciling discrepancies when data got out of sync
This consumed 15+ hours per week and introduced frequent errors that required additional cleanup time.
Automation System
We built a cross-system orchestration layer that:
- • Monitors all systems for changes (new clients, project updates, billing events)
- • Automatically propagates changes across systems in real-time
- • Uses AI to resolve data conflicts and ambiguities
- • Generates consolidated reports by pulling data from all systems
- • Flags discrepancies for manual review when automatic resolution isn't possible
Outcome
The operations team eliminated manual data entry entirely. All systems stay in sync automatically, and reports are generated on-demand without manual data collection. The team reclaimed 15+ hours per week and data accuracy improved significantly.
What These Scenarios Have in Common
While these businesses operate in different industries with different tools, the automation patterns are remarkably similar:
1. Manual Work That Doesn't Scale
In each case, the team was spending significant time on repetitive tasks that grew linearly with business volume. The work was necessary but didn't require human expertise.
2. AI for Decisions, Automation for Execution
Each system uses AI to make judgments (lead quality, ticket category, data conflicts) and automation to execute the resulting actions. The combination replaces entire workflows, not just individual tasks.
3. Human Handoff for Edge Cases
None of these systems try to automate everything. They handle the 80% of routine work automatically and flag the 20% of complex cases for human review. This keeps the team focused on high-value work.
4. Custom Design, Not Templates
Each system was designed specifically for that business's workflows, tools, and edge cases. The underlying patterns are similar, but the implementation is always custom.
