How a Payments Startup Went from 4 Hours of Manual Dispute Review to 25 Minutes a Day

Clerra's operations team was spending over four hours every single day manually reading, classifying, and routing customer dispute forms. Every case was different. Some were simple. Some required pulling transaction history. Some needed legal review. The process was slow, inconsistent, and becoming a hard ceiling on how fast the company could grow.

Clerra

Head of Operations

"The agent understands our dispute logic better than some of our human reviewers did. It was running in production before I expected to see the first design document."

The Challenge

Clerra's operations team was spending over four hours every single day manually reading, classifying, and routing customer dispute forms. Every case was different. Some were simple. Some required pulling transaction history. Some needed legal review. The process was slow, inconsistent, and becoming a hard ceiling on how fast the company could grow.

The Solution

Agintex designed and deployed a custom AI agent built around Clerra's specific dispute logic and compliance requirements. The agent reads each incoming dispute, identifies the type and urgency, pulls the relevant transaction history automatically, and routes the case to the right resolution path; all without a human in the loop for standard cases. Edge cases are flagged for review. Everything else is handled. The agent was in production three weeks after the first scoping call.
