NEXUS Optimize Automation

Which manual work should be automated first?

Optimize reads your ticket history and finds the manual work that doesn't need to be manual, from tickets that always land with the same team to approvals that are never rejected. Each opportunity is ranked, estimated in hours saved per month, and paired with the change that removes it.

What Optimize covers

Seven patterns of avoidable work

Runs across incidents, requests, changes, problems, HR and customer cases, plus your own task tables.

  • Tickets that always end up with the same team
  • Reassignment loops and slow handoffs
  • Tickets left waiting, and tickets that could close themselves
  • Approvals that are never rejected, and work at risk of breaching SLA

Ranked by what it's worth

Every opportunity is scored for impact and for how confident NEXUS is in the pattern.

  • Priority from critical to low
  • Effort rated low, medium or high
  • Estimated hours saved per week and per month
  • Quick wins: high impact, low effort

Implementation playbook

Each opportunity says where it was found and what to change.

  • Assignment rules and routing fixes
  • Auto-close rules and reminder notifications
  • Flow Designer flows
  • Progress tracking from detected to implemented

Where the time goes

The detail behind the two most common sources of delay.

  • How often tickets bounce, and how much each bounce costs
  • Total hours lost to reassignment
  • Which team tickets usually end up with
  • How long tickets wait in each state

In practice

A business case in hours

Each opportunity carries an hours-per-month estimate based on how often the pattern occurs.

Who did the work

Separates work done by people from work done by automation, so you can see how much is already automated.

Your own processes included

Custom case and task tables from your own applications can be analyzed too.

Sensitive data stays out

On sensitive instances, HR and healthcare records are excluded automatically.

Progress you can show

Move opportunities from detected to implemented and keep monitoring them on later runs.

AI optimization summaries

Optional written summaries of the top opportunities using OpenAI, Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini.
