Case study 1 · Recruitment

From CV inbox to qualified shortlist without the morning admin.

A 10-person recruitment agency receives around 100–150 candidate applications per day across job boards, email and website forms. Recruiters currently spend part of every morning reading CVs, copying information into the CRM, checking basic suitability and preparing first-touch emails.

Before

The problem

  • High application volume
  • Manual CV screening
  • Candidate details copied into the CRM by hand
  • Strong applicants can wait hours before being reviewed
  • Repetitive first-touch drafting
  • Inconsistent CRM completeness

Acxiomflow workflow

The working process

  1. 1New CV or application arrives.
  2. 2The workflow extracts candidate details and relevant experience.
  3. 3AI compares the candidate against agreed role criteria.
  4. 4A candidate record and short summary are prepared for the CRM.
  5. 5A personalised first-touch draft is prepared.
  6. 6The recruiter reviews and approves qualification and routing.
  7. 7Approved CRM updates and communication are completed.
  8. 8Unclear candidates enter a human review queue instead of being rejected automatically.

Outcome

Results and operating controls

AI prepares and scores. The recruiter makes the hiring-related decision.

  • Recover approximately 8–12 recruiter hours per week from repetitive screening and admin
  • Strong applications triaged within approximately 10 minutes of arrival
  • More consistent mandatory CRM fields
  • Every low-confidence recommendation routed for human review

Case study 2 · Property services

Turn an overloaded maintenance inbox into a controlled triage workflow.

A property-service business manages several hundred properties and receives maintenance requests through email, forms and attachments. Staff currently read each request, identify the property, decide urgency, check supporting information, contact the right person and manually track progress across inboxes and spreadsheets.

  6. 06

    Status + owner

Before

The problem

  • Maintenance requests arrive through multiple channels
  • Property and context information can be incomplete
  • Staff manually classify urgency
  • Photos and attachments require review
  • Landlord and contractor communication involves repeated drafting
  • Requests can disappear into inbox threads
  • Management has poor visibility of outstanding exceptions

Acxiomflow workflow

The working process

  1. 1A maintenance request arrives by form or inbox.
  2. 2The workflow identifies the property, tenant and available context.
  3. 3AI classifies the request and prepares a short summary.
  4. 4Required information and attachments are checked.
  5. 5Routine requests are routed to the appropriate workflow.
  6. 6High-risk, safety-related, unclear or high-cost situations are escalated to a person.
  7. 7Draft landlord or contractor messages are prepared.
  8. 8Human approval occurs before sensitive external action.
  9. 9Progress and exceptions are logged centrally.

Outcome

Results and operating controls

AI classifies and prepares. People approve safety-sensitive, commercial and customer-facing decisions.

  • Initial request triage within approximately 5 minutes
  • Recover approximately 5–8 admin hours per week
  • Every request assigned a visible status and owner
  • Missing information identified before downstream work begins
  • Exception and escalation queue visible to operations staff

Case study 3 · Agency / professional services

Client reporting that builds itself — but still gets human approval.

A 15-client agency prepares weekly or monthly performance reports using data from several platforms, spreadsheets and project-management tools. A senior team member spends several hours collecting numbers, checking discrepancies, writing commentary and distributing updates.

  2. 02

  3. 03

  4. 04

    Draft analysis

  5. 05

    Owner approval

  6. 06

    Report + exceptions

Before

The problem

  • Data pulled manually from multiple systems
  • Copy-paste reporting
  • Time lost reconciling mismatched figures
  • Commentary starts from a blank page each week
  • Reports can be delayed
  • Senior staff spend time assembling rather than analysing

Acxiomflow workflow

The working process

  1. 1The reporting period triggers automatically.
  2. 2Approved data is collected from connected sources.
  3. 3Validation rules flag missing or inconsistent figures.
  4. 4AI prepares a structured performance summary.
  5. 5Important changes, anomalies and open questions are highlighted.
  6. 6The account owner reviews the numbers and narrative.
  7. 7The approved report is prepared for distribution.
  8. 8Exceptions are logged for follow-up rather than silently excluded.

Outcome

Results and operating controls

AI prepares the analysis. The account owner validates the numbers and approves the narrative.

  • Recover approximately 4–6 reporting hours per week
  • Reporting draft available on the scheduled day
  • Missing or inconsistent inputs visibly flagged
  • Every published narrative reviewed by a person
  • More time spent interpreting results instead of assembling them

How we prove it

Start with a baseline. Measure what changes.

Before building a workflow, Acxiomflow defines the current process and the metric that matters. That might be time spent, response speed, exception volume, handoff delay or data completeness. A pilot is then measured against that starting point.

Time saved

Compare weekly manual effort before and after the pilot.

Response speed

Measure the delay between a trigger and a useful next action.

Errors and exceptions

Track incomplete records, failed checks and work requiring review.

Handoffs removed

Count unnecessary transfers, re-keying steps and owner changes.

About these case studies

Real work, presented confidentially.

These case studies describe delivered workflows and their results while keeping client identities private.

Are these Acxiomflow customer case studies?
Yes. These case studies describe real workflows delivered by Acxiomflow. Client identities are withheld to protect confidentiality.
Are the numbers shown guaranteed results?
No. They describe the results of these specific engagements and are not a guarantee of identical results elsewhere. Every new engagement starts by establishing the client's own baseline.
Will Acxiomflow replace our existing software?
Usually no. Acxiomflow is designed to connect the CRM, inbox, spreadsheets, documents, support tools and AI features a business already uses into one working process.
Where does human approval fit?
AI can classify, extract, summarise and draft, while people retain approval over customer-facing, commercial, sensitive or high-risk actions.

Your workflow could be next

Find the first process worth measuring.

Start with one repetitive workflow. We map the current process, agree the baseline and identify where automation could remove unnecessary work without replacing the tools you already use.
