A shipping company was spending time and money processing supplier invoices, with rework eating into the team's capacity on exceptions and mismatches. We scoped, built and deployed three targeted microbots — built with our engineering partner, Yodatech — against the invoice-matching workflow.
| Item | Price | Basis | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Development cost | $9,000 | Per process, fixed × 3 | $27,000 |
| Application support | $200 | Per process / month × 36 | $7,200 |
| Ad-hoc requests | $180 | Per person-day, as needed | As incurred |
| Total | $34,200 |
6 FTEs on the process cut to 2, plus $10K in maintenance. Pricing assumes 12 months of application support after go-live, renewable; excludes application licence and hardware, which the client holds directly.
Microbots remain the foundation — rule-based, repetitive work: data entry, extraction, file manipulation. The AI agents we build now sit on top of this layer, not instead of it, and this is the discipline they inherit: scoped, priced, and measured against a baseline before and after.
