Agentic automation is rapidly moving from theoretical concept to real-world business driver. On the .do platform, we see firsthand how organizations are leveraging agentic workflows to not only streamline operations but also unlock significant business value. This isn't just about saving time; it's about creating new capabilities, increasing agility, and achieving tangible business outcomes.
At its core, agentic automation involves building autonomous or semi-autonomous software agents that perform tasks and make decisions based on pre-defined rules and data. When applied to business processes, this transforms rigid, manual workflows into dynamic, intelligent systems. Services-as-Software built on the .do platform are a prime example of this, allowing businesses to encapsulate complex logic and processes into reusable, API-driven services.
The business impact can be profound. Let's explore some real-world case studies (representative examples based on platform usage) illustrating the transformative power of agentic automation:
A rapidly growing e-commerce company was struggling to keep up with customer support inquiries. Manual processes for handling common issues like order tracking, returns, and product information were slow and resource-intensive.
Agentic Automation Solution: The company implemented agentic service agents using the .do platform. These agents were designed to understand natural language queries (leveraging AI capabilities integrated with the platform), access relevant order and product data, and provide instant, accurate responses. Complex cases were automatically escalated to human agents with all relevant context provided by the service agent.
Business Impact:
A manufacturing company faced challenges in their procurement process, including manual data entry, inconsistent vendor communication, and delays in order fulfillment.
Agentic Automation Solution: The company built automated procurement workflows on the .do platform. Agentic services were created to monitor inventory levels, generate purchase orders automatically based on pre-defined thresholds, communicate with vendors via APIs, and track shipment status.
Business Impact:
A financial institution struggled with a lengthy and complex customer onboarding process, involving multiple manual checks and approvals across different departments. This led to high drop-off rates and a poor customer experience.
Agentic Automation Solution: The institution implemented an agentic onboarding workflow using the .do platform. Service agents were configured to automate identity verification, background checks, document processing, and cross-departmental notifications. The workflow was designed with built-in decision-making capabilities to handle different scenarios and flag exceptions for review.
Business Impact:
These case studies are just a glimpse into the power of agentic automation. The .do platform empowers businesses to build and deploy these transformative solutions, turning complex processes into manageable, intelligent services.
