SaaS · Customer Support

AI Agents

Business case

AI support agent resolves 68% of tickets automatically

Mid-market SaaS — 3,500 customers, 45,000 active users

The Challenge

Support volume had quadrupled in 18 months while the team only doubled. Average resolution time hit 4 hours, weekend tickets sat for 8–12 hours, and the company faced hiring two more agents at $85K each just to keep pace.

REWORK Solution

Hired a verified LLM Engineer through Rework Digital to design and ship a Claude-powered tier-1 support agent. Scope: intent classification across 14 ticket categories, knowledge-base RAG over 8,000 help-center articles, escalation routing, and a 24/7 deployment with feedback loops. Delivered against milestone-based escrow over 6 weeks.

Outcome

The agent now handles 68% of inbound tickets end-to-end with 95% CSAT on AI-resolved interactions. Repeat-ticket rate dropped 40%. Support team refocused on complex bug investigation and customer-success motions instead of password resets.

D2C E-commerce

Marketing Automation

Business case

D2C brand triples conversion with AI-powered email sequences

Sustainable activewear brand — 12,000 subscribers, 45 SKUs

The Challenge

Monthly revenue plateaued at $15–18K. Conversion sat at 1.2% (below the 2% industry average), cart abandonment was 18%, and additional paid-ad spend produced diminishing returns. The team had no in-house automation expertise.

REWORK Solution

Matched with a verified Automation Engineer specializing in marketing pipelines. Built dynamic customer-segmentation logic on top of Klaviyo + Shopify, AI-generated personalized product recommendations, an abandoned-cart sequence with adaptive timing, and a post-purchase win-back flow. Two milestones over 8 weeks, fully delivered through escrow.

Outcome

Conversion rate tripled to 3.6%. Email revenue grew 220% year-over-year with zero increase in paid-ad spend. Average order value rose 38% and customer lifetime value lifted 85%.

FinTech · Analytics

Data Pipelines

Business case

Real-time analytics pipeline replaces overnight batch

Retail-investing FinTech — 12,000 traders, 40 institutional clients

The Challenge

Dashboards updated once a day from overnight batch jobs. Two analysts spent full-time hours maintaining 20+ manual Excel reports. Institutional clients demanded real-time data the team could not deliver, and the analytics function was a growth bottleneck.

REWORK Solution

Engaged a Pro-tier Data Engineer with verified pipeline deliverables. Designed and shipped a streaming architecture on Kafka → dbt → Snowflake with sub-second event latency, replaced 20+ manual reports with self-service dashboards, and stood up SLA monitoring. Three milestones across 10 weeks under cross-border compliance handled by Rework Digital.

Outcome

Sub-second latency replaced 24-hour batch. Manual reporting dropped 98%. The analytics team now ships strategic analysis instead of pulling data, and institutional churn risk tied to real-time gaps was eliminated.

Logistics · AP Operations

RPA & Document AI

Business case

Logistics company cuts invoice processing 85%

Mid-sized logistics — 200 employees, 18,000 invoices/year

The Challenge

AP team spent 120+ hours per month on manual data entry from PDFs, EDI files, portal uploads, and scanned mail. Error rate ran 2.5%, vendor follow-ups consumed an additional 0.5 FTE, and audit compliance required hours of reconciliation per quarter.

REWORK Solution

Hired a verified RPA Specialist through AutoTeam matching. Built an AI document-extraction pipeline (OCR + LLM validation), intelligent routing to GL codes, three-way matching against POs and receipts, and an exception queue with human-in-the-loop approval. Shipped in 5 weeks, paid against deliverable milestones.

Outcome

Processing time fell from 120 to 18 hours per month. Error rate collapsed to 0.2%. AP cost dropped 90% annually. Real-time invoice visibility unlocked early-payment discounts the team had previously missed.

Independent Professional · RPA

Career Growth

Expert story

From $45/hr freelancer to Pro-tier RPA specialist ($180K/yr)

Solo automation engineer — 3 years freelance, based in Lisbon, PT

The Challenge

Listed on four general freelance marketplaces at $45/hr, bidding on 30+ proposals a month with an 8% win rate. Clients treated RPA like generic development work and routinely pushed back on rates. Verification was self-reported — no way to prove "10,000 hours of automation wins" stood out from "I know Zapier".

REWORK Solution

Onboarded to Rework Digital and published four proof-of-work deliverables — a live invoice-OCR pipeline, two Make/n8n flows with measurable ROI attached, and a portfolio of anonymized client result screenshots. AutoTeam ranking surfaced the profile to enterprise AP operations leads within two weeks. Converted three inbound leads into milestone-paid engagements in the first quarter.

Outcome

Reached Pro tier after four verified engagements. Average rate climbed from $45/hr to $198/hr as proof-of-work credibility compounded. Signed a six-month retainer with a logistics client in month five. Predictable, transparent platform pricing on every transaction made forecasting straightforward.

Discovery & Matching

Expert story

LLM engineer: 40 inbound clients in 8 months, zero sales calls

Independent ML engineer — ex-Big-Tech, niche in LLM evaluation, based in Austin, TX

The Challenge

Left a senior role at a large tech company to go independent. Had deep LLM evaluation expertise but no pipeline — six months of LinkedIn outreach produced three discovery calls and zero contracts. Traditional freelance marketplaces offered no way to signal specialty in a crowded "AI engineer" category; everyone claimed the same stack.

REWORK Solution

Published nine proof-of-work items on Rework Digital — a live GPT-4 vs Claude evaluation harness, two RAG pipelines with ROI metrics, an open-source prompt-caching benchmark, and four anonymized client case snippets with replayable demos. AutoTeam category-aware ranking indexed the profile under LLM Evaluation, RAG Engineering, and Prompt Optimization. Inbound requests started within ten days.

Outcome

Matched to 40 distinct clients across eight months through inbound AutoTeam requests. $240K GMV without a single outbound sales call. Average time-to-match stayed under 24 hours. 60% of clients booked a second engagement within 90 days, compounding into a predictable recurring book.
