Case Studies
AI agents we have already built and deployed
Real deployments. Real outcomes. Each agent was built from scratch around the client's exact workflow.
Frozen Foods / CPGHow a $150M Frozen Foods Distributor Eliminated Overnight Temperature Risk and Prevented $200K–$250K in Annual Losses
A leading frozen foods distributor managed millions of dollars of temperature-sensitive inventory across its refrigerated fleet but had no visibility into trailer temperatures during overnight hours. This created a significant risk of product spoilage, inventory loss, and customer service disruptions.

CPG / Consumer Packaged GoodsHow a $50M CPG Brand Replaced a $180K TPM System and Unlocked $300K in Annual Value Using Open-Source TPM and Agentic AI
A $50 million consumer packaged goods (CPG) brand was struggling with the growing complexity of trade promotion management. Despite investing heavily in a traditional TPM platform, many critical processes remained manual, including trade planning, accrual management, deduction reconciliation, customer profitability reporting, and trade spend analysis.
The company was spending approximately $180,000 annually on TPM software while dedicating significant internal resources to managing promotions, deductions, and reporting activities.

Frozen Foods / CPGHow a $250M+ Frozen Food Manufacturer Cut Daily Inventory Reporting from 120 Minutes to 5 Minutes and Saved $44,000 Annually
A $250M+ frozen food manufacturer managed inventory across multiple third-party warehouses and cold storage facilities. Accurate inventory visibility was critical for supply planning, production scheduling, customer service, and inventory management.
However, the company relied on a highly manual inventory reporting process that required data from twelve separate sources, including warehouse portals and accounting system reports, to be downloaded, reconciled, and consolidated twice each day.

CPG / Business Process OutsourcingHow a $800M CPG Company Replaced OCR and Manual Data Entry with Agentic AI, Generating $592,000 in Annual Savings and a 4.6x ROI
A leading business services provider supported multiple consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies with aggregate annual sales exceeding $800 million. The organization was responsible for transcribing retailer deduction documentation, validating deductions against trade promotion planners, proof-of-performance documents, and promotional contracts across multiple customers, channels, and retailer platforms.
As client volumes increased, the process of extracting, validating, and transferring retailer data into spreadsheets, reports, and operational dashboards became increasingly dependent on manual labor.

FAQ
Questions about month-end close automation
Clear answers on how the close agent works through your checklist, which tasks it handles, how it gives the controller visibility, and what your accounting team stays responsible for.
Month-end close automation is a process where an AI agent works through your close checklist, runs account reconciliations, prepares and posts recurring journal entries, calculates accruals, and flags incomplete items for your accounting team to review. WorkAgentic builds close agents for controllers and accounting managers who spend 10 to 15 business days each month on a close process that involves too many manual steps and too little visibility into what is done and what is still outstanding.
Most accounting teams using WorkAgentic close automation reduce their close cycle by 40 to 60 percent. A 12-day close typically comes down to 5 or 6 days in the first quarter after deployment. The reduction comes from running reconciliations and accruals automatically during the month rather than starting them at close, and from eliminating the time the accounting team spends tracking down status updates and missing support files.
WorkAgentic close agents automate account reconciliations, bank reconciliations, recurring journal entry preparation and posting, accrual calculations, prepaid amortization schedules, depreciation calculations, intercompany eliminations, and close checklist tracking. Tasks that require judgment, such as complex estimates, non-standard adjustments, and review approvals, remain with your accounting team. The agent handles the repeatable work so your team focuses on what actually needs human attention.
Most month-end close automation deployments go live within 2 to 4 weeks. The process covers close checklist mapping, ERP integration, recurring journal entry configuration, reconciliation rule setup, accrual calculation build, and a parallel first close where the agent runs alongside your manual process before taking over.
No. The agent handles the repeatable mechanical steps that consume most of the close timeline: running reconciliations, preparing recurring journal entries, calculating accruals, and tracking checklist status. Your accounting team keeps full responsibility for reviewing and approving all entries, investigating exceptions, making judgment-based adjustments, and signing off on the close. The controller stays in control. The agent removes the workload that does not need human judgment.
Yes. WorkAgentic close agents are configured for multi-entity deployments with different charts of accounts, different close calendars, and different intercompany relationships. Each entity runs its own close process through the agent and the results feed into a consolidated close status view for the controller or CFO. Intercompany eliminations are applied as part of the close workflow.
WorkAgentic close agents connect to NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, Oracle Financials, Microsoft Dynamics, and Workday, as well as any ERP with a structured API or data export. Journal entries, reconciliations, and accruals are posted directly to the ERP as part of the close process. No internal IT team is required.
The close agent maintains a live close checklist that shows the status of every task: completed, in progress, flagged, or awaiting approval. The controller can see close status at any time without asking the team. Items that fall behind schedule are escalated automatically. When the accounting team completes a task, the checklist updates immediately so the controller always has a current view of where the close stands.
