The challenge
Order ops was a 6-person team drowning in email, EDI mismatches, and customer status pings. Hiring more wasn't scalable — and turnover was crushing institutional knowledge.
The solution
We deployed a suite of ClicksCloud AI agents trained on the distributor's catalog, pricing tiers, and SLA rules. Agents triage incoming orders, resolve common exceptions, and proactively notify customers — escalating only edge cases.
The results
60% reduction in manual ops touch-time. 24/7 coverage with no added headcount. $280K annualized savings reinvested into growth roles.
