    Intelligent Payment & Feedback Integration with AWS, HubSpot, and LLMs

    Challenge:
    Payment events and customer feedback were previously processed in a fragmented manner: different payment providers, lack of real-time synchronization with HubSpot, manual evaluation of free-text feedback, and no systematic prioritization of negative customer feedback. This led to delayed response times from service and account teams, incomplete CRM context, and unnecessary manual effort.

    Approach:
    • Architecture design and implementation of a scalable AWS-based event integration platform for payment events.
    • Automated enrichment of events via HubSpot API (contact, company, deal) to establish complete CRM context.
    • Semantic analysis of free-text feedback using Large Language Models (OpenAI): detection of sentiment and topic category (e.g., Billing, Usability, Product). Creation of a concise summary including recommended actions.
    • Automatic writing back of results to HubSpot (notes, custom objects).
    • Proactive triggering of service tickets or tasks for negative feedback to improve response speed.
    Value:
    • Real-time linking of payment, feedback, and CRM data without manual intermediate steps.
    • Significant acceleration of service response times through automatic identification of critical customer feedback.
    • Improved customer health scores and higher customer satisfaction through proactive team actions.
    • Scalable architecture that can be used as a universal semantic feedback layer for any event, not just payments.
    • High compliance and operational security through standardized cloud and governance mechanisms.

    AI Use Case Discovery for Backoffice Process Automation

    Challenge:

    The client's backoffice processes, including document processing, customer data verification, and administrative workflows, were heavily manual. Teams faced repetitive tasks, fragmented systems, and long processing times, limiting scalability and efficiency. Management sought to explore how autonomous AI systems could coordinate, execute, and optimize internal processes for higher operational efficiency and accuracy.

    Approach:
    • Conducted an AI potential analysis across key backoffice workflows to identify automation and decision support opportunities.
    • Analyzed process bottlenecks and data dependencies between CRM, document management, and compliance systems.
    • Conceptualized and prioritized agentic AI use cases, including automated document classification, information extraction, and cross-departmental workflow orchestration.
    • Developed a proof-of-concept architecture for integrating multi-agent systems into the existing IT landscape, ensuring compliance with data privacy and regulatory requirements.
    • Created an AI adoption roadmap and a value model to quantify expected ROI and implementation effort.

    Value:
    • Identified four high-impact AI use cases capable of reducing manual effort by up to 65%.
    • Provided a blueprint for agentic process automation as a foundation for pilot projects in document processing and data validation.
    • Empowered management to prioritize AI investments based on measurable business value and compliance readiness.
