Case studies

Real problems our customers have solved with their AI

Each of these is a real problem a customer brought to their AI, told the way it actually happened. Names and details are anonymised, and results are described honestly — they vary with each business's processes, team, and how they use it.

Messy orders into priced, margin-checked quotes

The challenge

Quotes were slow and margins inconsistent. Supplier pricing was scattered across emails and price lists, and the team could not quickly see why they were being undercut on big timber and decking jobs.

What the AI does

The AI turns a rough phone or emailed order into a priced PDF quote, pulls current supplier pricing, cross-references a competitor quote when one is supplied, and recomputes the correct freight, GST, and markup so quotes go out fast and priced to win without eroding margin.

The difference

Quote turnaround
BeforePriced by hand across emails and lists
AfterMinutes, ready to check
Margin accuracy
BeforeInconsistent, errors caught late
AfterFreight, GST and markup cross-checked before quoting
Losing jobs on price
BeforeHard to see why
AfterCompetitor pricing understood on the spot

How it works

  • Reads orders from phone notes, emails, and attachments
  • Cross-references supplier price lists and point-of-sale markup rules
  • Compares against a competitor quote to explain the price gap
  • Produces a clean, editable PDF quote ready for the counter

Building & insurance restoration
Tasmania
Regional contractor, multi-person estimating team

Same-day scoping reports for an insurance-restoration contractor

The challenge

The estimating team was manually turning field notes and emailed briefs into damage-scoping reports on locked company templates, wrangling formatting, exporting clean PDFs, and writing client follow-up emails by hand, often against tight estimator deadlines.

What the AI does

The AI builds the scoping report straight from the job details on the team’s locked templates, exports a clean, client-ready PDF, and drafts the professional follow-up email to the estimator, all in one pass.

The difference

Report turnaround
BeforeManual, under deadline pressure
AfterSame-day, brief to sent PDF
Output quality
BeforeHand-formatted, draft marks slipping through
AfterClean, client-ready on the locked template
Admin load
BeforeTeam stuck formatting documents
AfterFreed to focus on the jobs

How it works

  • Reads the job brief from the app or an email
  • Fills the locked scoping or trade-breakdown template
  • Exports a clean, correctly-oriented PDF
  • Drafts the sign-off email to the estimator

Small team, no dedicated systems role

A governance and compliance framework, built without a systems person

The challenge

A small team needed to stand up an entire governance and compliance framework — process maps, data registers, and a full set of HSE standards — consistently and professionally, without a dedicated systems or documentation person.

What the AI does

The AI drafts each standard to a consistent template, designs the register structure, writes the SharePoint data-architecture document including security and access, and produces load-ready files plus plain-English setup instructions for a non-technical team.

The difference

Standards and registers
BeforeNothing documented, no systems person
AfterFull set built in days, audit-ready
Consistency
BeforeAd hoc
AfterEvery standard on one template, single source of truth
Technical barrier
BeforeBlocked without an IT specialist
AfterNon-technical team can build and load it

How it works

  • Maps the firm’s core and support processes
  • Designs best-practice registers as structured lists
  • Authors each HSE standard on one consistent template
  • Produces import-ready files plus non-technical instructions

Home automation & AV integration
Australia
Installer-led business

Email leads turned into logged jobs for an AV integrator

The challenge

Leads and jobs arriving by email were slow to log, admin ate into installer time, and monthly compliance scans were easy to forget.

What the AI does

The AI creates the job from a client email into their job-management system and SharePoint, files the drawings, sets the follow-up reminder, drafts the client reply, and runs the recurring compliance email scans automatically.

The difference

Lead-to-job logging
BeforeManual, delayed
AfterLogged the moment the email lands
Follow-ups
BeforeEasy to forget
AfterReminders set automatically
Monthly compliance scans
BeforeChased manually
AfterRun on schedule

How it works

  • Creates the job from an inbound client email
  • Files attachments to the drawings folders
  • Sets follow-up reminders with the client details
  • Runs the scheduled compliance scans

Independent workshop

Insurer and fleet comms handled for a smash-repair workshop

The challenge

Constant insurer and fleet-network correspondence and claims paperwork were pulling the team off the tools.

What the AI does

The AI drafts the insurer and fleet emails in the workshop’s voice, assembles claim notes and photo requests, chases tow providers, and produces marketing collateral such as fleet flyers.

The difference

Claims and fleet comms
BeforeTime-consuming, off the tools
AfterDrafted fast, professional, on-brand
Admin hiring pressure
BeforeNeeded more admin help
AfterHandled without extra headcount
Marketing collateral
BeforeRarely got done
AfterFlyers and emails produced on demand

How it works

  • Drafts insurer and fleet-network correspondence
  • Assembles claim notes, photos, and mechanical-report requests
  • Chases towing and job status
  • Produces fleet marketing collateral
