Smart cities are using AI agents to audit digital content for Section 508 compliance, detect fires and fire risks, automate documentation, and provide chatbot assistance to citizens and visitors. With the amount of data cities must manage growing all the time, there’s high potential for many other agentic AI use cases to bring value to local governments.
From transactional to transformational:
Free your finance team with AI orchestration
Your best finance professionals are trapped in a cycle of manual, error-prone tasks. They spend over a full work week each month just processing invoices, leading to burnout and disengagement. This isn’t just an HR problem — it’s a strategic bottleneck.
Kamiwaza’s AI agents securely automate these complex financial workflows with 99% accuracy from behind your firewall. This liberates your team for the high-value strategic analysis that drives your business forward.
The burnout cycle of modern finance
Talented finance teams are drowning in transactional work. This manual grind creates a cascade of problems that ripple across the organization:
- Inefficiency and errors: Manual data entry for invoices, expense reports, and reconciliation is slow and costly. Manual processing can cost $10-$25 per invoice, with error correction adding another $53 per mistake.
- Strategic bottlenecks: Time consumed by manual tasks prevents your team from focusing on strategic work like cash flow analysis, forecasting, and vendor relationship management.
- Compliance and fraud risk: Weak internal controls in AP increase fraud risk and create audit nightmares. Decentralized documents scattered across inboxes and hard drives jeopardize SOX/SOC certifications.
- Professional burnout: Talented professionals are frustrated and disengaged, with 78% of AP teams reporting process-related stress. You’re asking humans to do “robot work.” and they know it.
Deploy AI agents for end-to-end financial automation
Kamiwaza acts as an AI orchestrator, deploying intelligent agents that automate your most complex financial processes from start to finish.
Agentic AP automation
Go beyond simple OCR. Our AI agents automate the entire accounts payable workflow, including invoice capture, three-way matching, and reconciliation with precision. This slashes processing costs to as low as $3 per invoice and reduces data entry errors by up to 90%.
Automated internal controls & compliance
Kamiwaza acts as an “internal control accelerator” by processing all sensitive financial documents in place. This happens behind your firewall or in your private cloud, so your data never moves. Our approach eliminates security risks and ensures the auditable, consistent data capture required for SOX compliance.
Strategic insight generation
Connect fragmented systems and turn decentralized documents into an intelligent data bridge. With 99% data accuracy, your team gets trustworthy information for decision-making. They can finally move from reactive task management to proactive business support.
Real-world transformation: A Fortune 500 CPG leader
A major food manufacturer deployed Kamiwaza to overhaul its distributed data processes. The results:
- 87% reduction in processing time
- $3.5 million saved in consulting costs
- Zero new hires required, as the entire solution was deployed by their existing team, with no specialized AI talent needed
Intelligence without compromise
Traditional IDP solutions fall short. They only cover a fraction of the workload and force you to move sensitive data, creating compliance risks. Kamiwaza’s platform is engineered to deliver results without risk.
- Process Data Where It Lives: Your financial data is sensitive. We deploy AI to your data, ensuring it never leaves your secure environment. This eliminates data transfer risks and maintains regulatory compliance.
- End-to-End Agentic Workflows: This isn’t just data extraction. Kamiwaza acts as an AI Orchestrator. We connect fragmented systems to automate complex, multi-step processes from start to finish.
- Liberate Your Talent: The 100%-460% ROI on AP automation isn’t just from cost savings. It’s from empowering your best people to stop doing manual work and start driving strategic value.
Go from processor to conductor
Stop asking your team to work until midnight at month-end. “Tomorrow’s CFO” doesn’t manually review spreadsheets. Instead, she orchestrates hundreds of financial analyst agents. Her team doesn’t just close the books. They close them 70% faster and focus on predictive modeling.
Kamiwaza provides the leverage to automate the transactional and amplify the transformational.
