- 30-150 employees
- Challenge
- Struggling with inefficient manual ticket routing processes that were slowing growth and increasing operational costs. Their primary concern was accreditation compliance.
The challenge
Manual ticket routing was the biggest bottleneck in this education technology company's operations. Their team of 30-150 employees processed hundreds of ticket routing requests weekly, each requiring multiple steps, cross-referencing against education-specific requirements, and coordination between departments. The average ticket routing request took 45 minutes to complete manually, and the backlog was growing by 15% each quarter. Beyond the time drain, the quality of their ticket routing output was inconsistent. Different team members followed different procedures, and there was no standardized way to handle edge cases that are common in education. A recent audit revealed that 12% of completed ticket routing records contained errors that required rework — costing the organization an additional $50K annually in correction and remediation efforts. The leadership team recognized that continuing to throw people at the problem wasn't viable and began searching for an AI-powered solution.
The solution
Arahi AI provided the automation backbone this education team needed. They deployed a multi-agent workflow that breaks the ticket routing process into discrete, automated steps — each handled by a specialized AI agent. The first agent monitors triggers from Canvas and Slack. The second agent analyzes and processes incoming requests using education-specific business logic. The third agent executes actions across connected tools and notifies team members via Notion. The beauty of the no-code approach was speed of implementation. The team had their first agent live within 90 minutes, and the full ticket routing workflow was operational within a single afternoon. They used Arahi AI's template for education ticket routing as a starting point, customized the business rules to match their specific process, and connected their existing tool stack without writing a single line of code. Within the first week, the agents had processed over 200 ticket routing instances with high accuracy — more than the team typically handled in a month.
Implementation
2 AI agents deployed in Half a day.
Tools connected
- Canvas
- Blackboard
- Google Classroom
- Slack
- Gmail
- Mapped the existing ticket routing workflow
Documented every step of the current manual ticket routing process, including decision points, exceptions, and handoffs between team members. Identified which steps could be fully automated versus those needing human oversight.
- Built the automation in Arahi AI
Used Arahi AI's no-code builder to create the ticket routing workflow: connected Canvas and Google Classroom as data sources, configured AI decision logic for education-specific requirements, and set up automated actions and notifications.
- Parallel run with manual process
Ran the AI agents alongside the manual process for one week to compare outputs. The AI matched or exceeded human accuracy on the vast majority of ticket routing instances, with edge cases automatically flagged for human review.
