Node-based CPA client intake workflow from call and tax documents through OCR, review, engagement letter, invoice and onboarding
Client deployment | CPA & Tax Services | 2026

From Client Intake Call to Engagement Letter in 15 Minutes

Chronexa connected a CPA firm’s existing Firm360 and UltraTax CS process so an intake call could become a reviewed engagement-letter draft in about 10–15 minutes. The system checks missing documents, extracts tax data, protects client identity and keeps scope, pricing and tax decisions with the firm.

Case study | Private Equity — Deal Operations | 2025

How a Mid-Market PE Firm Automated Due Diligence and Portfolio Monitoring

A mid-market private equity firm was bottlenecked twice over: associates reading entire data rooms by hand during diligence, and the team stitching portfolio-company reporting into a picture that was stale by the time it was assembled. We built a private diligence copilot and an automated portfolio-monitoring layer — cutting data-room review time by ~70% and giving the firm one current view of the portfolio.

How a Fintech SaaS Eliminated Its Invoice-Ingestion Backlog with AI
Case study | Fintech — Accounts Payable Automation | 2024

How a Fintech SaaS Eliminated Its Invoice-Ingestion Backlog with AI

A mid-market fintech SaaS that helps businesses manage vendor payments had let its own invoice-ingestion and validation pipeline become a manual backlog. We replaced it with an AI document pipeline that reads invoices in any format, runs the three-way match, and routes only true exceptions to a human — cutting manual handling by ~80% and taking the invoice-to-approval cycle from days to hours.

Node-based outbound workflow with lead data, website and news research, email drafting, human approval, campaign delivery, retry and dead-letter paths
Chronexa system | Sales & Revenue Operations | 2026

An Outbound Engine That Researches Every Lead Before Drafting

Chronexa built an n8n outbound engine that researches a company before it drafts an email. It combines Apollo or spreadsheet lead data with Exa web research, writes the evidence and draft to Baserow, waits for human approval, then sends approved records to ManyReach. Retries, duplicate checks and a dead-letter queue stop failures from disappearing.

A Shopify Lead Funnel That Teaches Meta Which Leads Matter

Chronexa connected a Shopify lead page to n8n so every form submission is checked before it reaches sales. Valid, consented leads can receive a WhatsApp follow-up. A separate 30-minute job sends qualified conversion signals back to Meta so ad optimisation can learn from lead quality, not form volume alone.

Reserve study automation workflow thumbnail
Case study | Real Estate Services | 2025

How ReserveStudy.com cut report creation time from days to minutes

ReserveStudy.com helps community associations plan long-term capital repairs through highly detailed Reserve Study reports. But behind every polished report was a slow, human-dependent workflow. Analysts spent days manually extracting data from engineering PDFs, cross-checking financial tables, constructing narratives, and packaging final documents. Volume spikes created severe bottlenecks, and the company struggled to scale without adding more analysts. Chronexa partnered with ReserveStudy.com to build a completely automated AI workflow combining OCR, structured data extraction, financial validation, and narrative generation. The new system produces a near-final draft of every report automatically—leaving analysts to focus only on exceptions and quality checks. What once required four days of manual effort can now be generated in under five minutes with higher consistency, audit-ready accuracy, and zero analyst burnout. This project marked a foundational shift in how reserve studies are produced, allowing the company to scale without hiring and freeing the team from repetitive work.

Scaling Personalized Outbound Pipeline Without Increasing Sales Headcount
Case study | Sales Operations — Revenue Operations | 2026

Scaling Personalized Outbound Pipeline Without Increasing Sales Headcount

A mid-market B2B firm was struggling to balance outreach quality with lead volume. Their sales development reps were spending the majority of their day performing manual research—scouring LinkedIn profiles, reading recent posts, and digging through company news to find a relevant hook. While this high-touch approach resulted in respectable reply rates, the sheer time required per prospect meant the team could only contact a handful of leads each day, creating a hard ceiling on pipeline growth.

Moving from Reactive to Predictive Yield Management in Precision Cultivation
Case study | Agriculture Technology — Controlled Environment Cultivation | 2025

Moving from Reactive to Predictive Yield Management in Precision Cultivation

A precision cultivation operation with sophisticated indoor facilities struggled to capitalize on the massive volume of data generated by its sensor networks. While the facility tracked critical variables— including CO2, light intensity, humidity, and active compound concentrations—the data lived in silos. Staff were forced to manually log sensor readings into spreadsheets, a process that was slow, prone to transcription errors, and fundamentally retrospective.
