CASE 01

EDUCATION

AI support, class allocation, reminders and collection in one admin workflow.

A Hong Kong education provider wanted to reduce repetitive enquiries and admin follow-up so staff could focus on student cases requiring human judgment.

Client context

The client is a Hong Kong education provider handling course enquiries, class allocation, lesson reminders and outstanding payment follow-up. The work was spread across different staff and tools, which made unresolved cases difficult to track.

Original workflow

01

Staff repeatedly answered common questions about courses, times and lesson arrangements

02

Class allocation, lesson reminders and outstanding payment follow-up were split across manual steps

Management lacked a clear view of unresolved cases

BOTTLENECK

The issue was not one difficult task. It was the cumulative cost of repeat questions and fragmented admin, forcing staff to switch context constantly.

What was built?

Outstanding payments and exceptions were routed to named staff
