Key Challenge
Struggling with inefficient manual compliance checking processes that were slowing growth and increasing operational costs. Their primary concern was supply chain visibility.

The Challenge
This mid-size manufacturer had reached a breaking point with their manual compliance checking process. With 100-500 employees managing daily manufacturing operations, the team was spending an average of 25+ hours per week on repetitive compliance checking tasks that added no strategic value. The workload was unsustainable, and errors were becoming more frequent as volume grew.
The consequences extended beyond wasted time. In their manufacturing business, delayed compliance checking created a cascade of downstream problems — missed deadlines, frustrated stakeholders, and data quality issues that undermined decision-making. The team had tried hiring additional staff, but the cost was prohibitive and training new employees on their complex manufacturing processes took months. They needed a solution that could handle their current volume and scale with their growth, without requiring a proportional increase in headcount.
The Solution
The team selected Arahi AI to automate their manufacturing compliance checking workflow end-to-end. Implementation began with connecting their core tools — SAP, Google Sheets, and Monday.com — to the Arahi AI platform. Using the no-code builder, they configured AI agents that replicate their best-performing team member's decision-making process, but at machine speed and consistency.
The AI agents handle every step of the compliance checking process: receiving incoming requests or triggers, analyzing the context using manufacturing-specific rules, making intelligent routing decisions, executing the core actions, and notifying the right stakeholders. What previously required 45+ minutes of manual work per instance now completes automatically in under 2 minutes. The agents also learn from corrections, continuously improving their accuracy. The team connected Airtable for tracking and reporting, giving leadership real-time visibility into compliance checking performance metrics for the first time.

Key Takeaways
The most important lessons from this manufacturing compliance checking automation project.
This manufacturing team proved that compliance checking automation doesn't require technical expertise — the no-code platform made it accessible to business users.
Scaling compliance checking capacity by 10x without adding headcount fundamentally changed the economics of their manufacturing operations.
Consistent AI-powered processing eliminated the quality variance that came with different team members handling compliance checking differently.
Real-time visibility into compliance checking metrics gave leadership the data they needed to make better strategic decisions.
Implementation Timeline
From zero to production in 2 hours — here's how they did it.
Step 1: Connected manufacturing tools to Arahi AI
Integrated SAP, NetSuite, and Slack with Arahi AI using pre-built connectors — no API keys or custom code required. The team verified data flow between systems in under 15 minutes.
Step 2: Configured AI agent business rules
Defined the manufacturing-specific rules for compliance checking: scoring criteria, routing logic, escalation thresholds, and exception handling. The team used Arahi AI's visual rule builder to translate their existing process into automated workflows.
Step 3: Tested with live manufacturing data
Ran the AI agents on a week's worth of historical compliance checking data to validate accuracy and identify edge cases. Made minor adjustments to scoring weights and routing rules based on the results.
Step 4: Launched and monitored
Deployed the AI agents to production with the entire team notified via Airtable. Monitored the first 48 hours closely, confirming 99%+ accuracy before reducing oversight to weekly reviews.
