Client Overview

The client is a large print, packaging, and communications services provider with multi-location operations. As transaction volumes grew, back-office teams across billing, order management, collections, and estimating became heavily dependent on manual coordination, inbox-driven workflows, and repeated follow-ups. The client partnered with Accelirate to identify high-impact automation opportunities, quantify ROI, and build a modernization roadmap to reduce costs, unlock capacity, and scale without proportional headcount growth.

Key Takeaways

  • Identified 17 automation opportunities across back-office workflows.
  • Modelled $580K+ in annual efficiency savings.
  • Released capacity equal to 10+ FTEs.
  • Found potential for 70%+ processing time reduction.
  • Built a modernization roadmap focused on ROI and scalability.
As enterprise operations scale, back-office teams often face growing pressure from manual coordination, inbox-driven workflows, and repeated follow-ups across billing, order management, collections, and estimating. For the client, these fragmented processes created hidden capacity constraints, slower throughput, and rising operational costs. Accelirate partnered with the client through an IDX engagement to uncover where effort was truly being spent, identify high-impact automation opportunities, and build a modernization roadmap. By applying RPA, GenAI, and agentic automation opportunities, Accelirate helped the client move toward more structured, scalable, and automation-ready operations.

Identifying Automation Opportunities with IDX, RPA, and Agentic AI

Managing enterprise-scale back-office operations means dealing with high transaction volumes, inbox-driven coordination, repeated validations, and manual follow-ups across multiple teams. The client’s billing, order management, collections, and estimating workflows depended heavily on manual effort, making it harder to scale without increasing costs and headcount.
To address these challenges, the client partnered with Accelirate for an IDX engagement that mapped operational effort, identified high-impact automation opportunities, and built a modernization roadmap.
