What We Set Out to Improve.

Business
Growing B2B Company

A company handling a steady flow of customer requests, internal approvals, documents, follow-ups, and updates across email and multiple business tools.

Partnership
Agentic Automation Team

Coretus mapped the existing process, identified repeatable decisions, built agent workflows, connected systems, and designed clear human approval points.

Goal
Reduce Manual Back-Office Work

Help the operations team spend less time copying information, chasing missing details, updating records, and routing routine requests.

What We Built
AI Operations Agent

An AI assistant that understands incoming work, decides the next step, uses connected tools, and asks for human help only when required.

What Was Getting in the Way.

The operations team spent a large part of each day reading emails, checking attachments, copying details into internal systems, requesting missing information, assigning tasks, and following up on open items.

The process worked when volumes were low, but growth made it harder to keep response times consistent. Hiring more coordinators would increase cost without fixing the underlying workflow, so the company wanted to automate the repeatable parts while keeping people responsible for exceptions and important decisions.

Slow Processing
Requests could sit in an inbox until someone had time to read, understand, and route them.
Manual Data Entry
Teams repeatedly copied names, dates, order details, notes, and status updates between systems.
Missed Follow-Ups
Busy periods made it easier for missing documents, approvals, and customer responses to fall through the cracks.

Before and After

How the Workflow Improved.

Area
Before
After
Request Intake

Manual Inbox Review

Staff opened each message, identified the request type, and decided who should handle it.

Automatic Understanding & Routing

The agent classifies incoming work, captures important details, and routes it based on defined business rules.

System Updates

Copy & Paste

Information was manually transferred between email, CRM, spreadsheets, and internal tools.

Connected Actions

The agent creates and updates records directly in the systems used by the team.

Follow-Ups

Reminder Dependent

Staff had to remember which customers, vendors, or teammates still owed information.

Agent-Managed Follow-Up

The agent tracks open items, sends approved reminders, and alerts a person when something needs attention.

Key Features

What Made the Solution Useful.

MULTI STEP AGENT

Multi-Step Task Handling

The agent can complete a sequence of actions instead of stopping after one response, helping move work from intake to completion.

Business impact
Fewer Manual Handoffs
TOOL INTEGRATION

Works Across Existing Systems

The agent connects with the tools the business already uses, reducing the need for teams to switch between systems and repeat the same work.

Business impact
Less Copying Between Tools
HUMAN APPROVAL

Human Review for Important Decisions

High-risk, unusual, or approval-based tasks are clearly separated from routine work so automation does not remove necessary human judgment.

Business impact
Automation With Oversight
Faster Delivery

What accelerated the work

4 reusable building blocks
01

Agent Coordination

Client Testimonial

In their own words.

We did not want AI making every decision. We wanted it to handle the repetitive work , keep things moving, and bring our team in when something actually needed attention. That is where the value came from.

Turn Repetitive Operations into Agent-Led Workflows.
