Representative Case
AI-assisted intake and routing for shared services
Australian enterprise shared services function handling HR, IT, and finance requests through fragmented email, portal, and workflow channels.
Timeline
12-week workflow redesign and deployment
ROI / efficiency
Estimated payback inside 8 months through reduced manual handling and fewer escalations.
Challenge
Manual triage, inconsistent intake data, and unclear routing were slowing response times and making it difficult for leaders to see where work was blocked.
Solution delivered
- Redesigned the intake model around intent, urgency, data quality, ownership, and approval requirements.
- Introduced AI-assisted classification with human review checkpoints for low-confidence, sensitive, or unusual requests.
- Connected the workflow to operational reporting for queue health, ageing work, rework, and exception volume.
