Problem

The business operated across multiple systems: finance platforms, payroll/vendor payments, email, messaging, sales tools, client records, project workflows, and team activity. Critical operational questions required manual spreadsheet work, context switching, and institutional knowledge.

System built

A custom operations platform that unifies financial reconciliation, HR and talent management, client records, sales workflows, tasks, documents, communications, meetings, and reporting. The system includes role-based permissions, audit logs, integrations, dashboards, and workflow tools.

AI role

AI lets users ask operational questions in plain English, generate daily activity summaries, summarize meeting transcripts, explain entity activity, and surface risks or anomalies. AI access is permission-scoped so users only see information they are authorized to see.

What it proves

CitronLab can build deep internal systems where AI must respect permissions, financial accuracy, user roles, operational nuance, integrations, auditability, and real workflows.
