01 — Client Situation
Why the client needed this
The client wanted to reduce repetitive refund operations and improve customer support workflows. Volume was high enough that manual judgment became a bottleneck, but refunds still required policy accuracy and exception handling.
02 — Challenge
What made this difficult
- Encoding refund business rules into reliable workflows
- Using AI-assisted decisions without unsupervised approvals
- Integrating external order and payment systems
- Supporting human approval for ambiguous cases
- Keeping backend processing reliable under operational load
03 — Approach
Recommendation and decision making
The focus was not only automation, but controlled automation—where business rules and exceptions remained manageable. AI proposes structured outcomes; backend services validate policy and payment conditions; humans retain authority on edge cases.
- Refund Request
- Policy & Payment Checks
- AI-Assisted Decision
