The Challenge
Customer onboarding at this multi-line insurance firm had become a major churn driver. With 30-150 employees, their insurance business was onboarding 40-60 new customers per month, and each one required a manual sequence of welcome emails, account setup steps, training sessions, and check-in calls. The process was inconsistent — depending on which team member handled the onboarding, new customers had wildly different experiences.
The numbers told the story: 35% of new customers never completed the onboarding checklist, time-to-first-value averaged 21 days, and 60-day churn rate was 18%. Their insurance customer success team was spending 70% of their time on repetitive onboarding tasks instead of proactive engagement with at-risk accounts. Customers who did churn consistently cited "difficulty getting started" and "lack of guidance" as primary reasons — problems that better onboarding would have prevented.
The Solution
The team selected Arahi AI to automate their insurance customer onboarding workflow end-to-end. Implementation began with connecting their core tools — Applied Epic, Gmail, and Slack — to the Arahi AI platform. Using the no-code builder, they configured AI agents that replicate their best-performing team member's decision-making process, but at machine speed and consistency.
The AI agents handle every step of the customer onboarding process: receiving incoming requests or triggers, analyzing the context using insurance-specific rules, making intelligent routing decisions, executing the core actions, and notifying the right stakeholders. What previously required 45+ minutes of manual work per instance now completes automatically in under 2 minutes. The agents also learn from corrections, continuously improving their accuracy. The team connected Google Sheets for tracking and reporting, giving leadership real-time visibility into customer onboarding performance metrics for the first time.
