Turning Disconnected Business Processes in F&B Into One AI Workflow

Modern businesses often rely on a growing number of systems to keep operations moving. 

Our client in the Food & beverage industry already had several automations helping with the processes. The challenge was that they were running across a separate tool stack rather than one central system that the business could manage itself.

We migrated these workflows into Claude, creating a single AI-driven hub for everyday business operations.

The challenge

This business was not starting from scratch. It already had automations covering four core areas: a daily leadership briefing, Xero bookkeeping, a monthly SEO report and Google Business Profile management.

But each one sat on a different, older tool stack. There was no single place to see how everything worked, and every change meant working across several systems. 

As the business grew, that fragmentation was becoming a cost of its own.

The question wasn't whether to automate. It was how to bring working automations into one system without disrupting the business that depended on them.

The solution

Apex AI migrated and consolidated the organisation's existing automation into Claude, creating a central AI workflow layer across key business operations.

The solution brought together three core areas:

Daily operations

A centralised daily briefing brings together tasks, calendar activity, emails and CRM information, giving the team a clearer view of priorities each morning.

Bookkeeping

Receipt processing was connected directly with Xero, allowing transactions to be created with the appropriate GST treatment and supporting documentation attached.

SEO reporting

Monthly reporting was streamlined by bringing together data from the organisation's key analytics and SEO platforms into one workflow.

We also established a centralised business knowledge base and migrated additional AI workflows as part of the wider consolidation.

What changed in the business

The biggest change was the reduction in operational friction.

Instead of moving between separate automation systems, the organisation now has a central AI workflow through which key processes can be accessed and managed.

Daily information is brought together automatically.

Receipt processing requires less manual handling.

SEO reporting no longer depends on pulling information together across multiple platforms.

And because the workflows are connected, the organisation has a stronger foundation for adding further AI-enabled processes in the future.

The result is not simply another automation tool.

It's a more connected way of running existing business processes.

While the project was a migration of existing automations rather than a direct manual-to-automated comparison, the consolidation removes repeated administrative steps across several recurring workflows.

For teams managing multiple systems every day, those small efficiencies can add up significantly over time.
