How it works

How Atrium works

The problem

  1. A customer asking for 40 servo drives by email passes through four people: front desk, sales for the quote, order entry, accounts for payment.
  2. Each step waits for someone to be free, so the customer waits over 1.5 hours for a quote.
  3. Every week, accounts spend 2.5 hours matching the bank feed to see who still owes money.
  4. Owners want AI to help, but fear it sending a wrong price out with nobody noticing.

What it does

  1. 01An agent covers each step: the Front Desk agent routes the message, the Sales Assistant drafts the quote from the price list and the customer’s past orders.
  2. 02Once the customer confirms, the Order Clerk records the order in kintone, and the Accounting Clerk matches the bank feed and drafts reminders.
  3. 03Quotes, large orders and reminders leave only after a manager clicks Approve.
  4. 04The office view shows which agent is doing what, and from which document.
  5. 05HR, weekly reports and translation work the same way: seven agents, each with a named supervisor.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what companies usually ask before they start.

Ask anything else in 30 minutes
What happens when the AI is wrong?
Anything that must not be wrong, such as sending a quote, posting a large order or chasing a payment, waits for a person. Low-confidence items are held back.
Do staff need training?
Very little. Staff read a proposal and press Approve or Return; supervisors need one short briefing.
Does it work with our software?
Atrium connects to email, WhatsApp, kintone, QuickBooks and Excel Online. Other software is assessed in the AI Workflow Assessment.
Is our data safe?
Your data stays in your own systems and accounts; iPlus keeps none. It is never used to train models, and each role sees only what it needs.
What does it cost each month?
Beyond the fixed setup package, the API, paid directly to the provider, is estimated under $150 a month at about 11,000 tasks. The contract states the figure.
How long until it runs?
About 4–6 weeks for the first three agents, after a two-week AI Workflow Assessment that picks the work worth doing first.
What if we stop using it?
Your data and knowledge documents stay yours. Processes return to the old way of working, with no lock-in to a platform.
Can we start small?
Yes. Start with one or two agents, for example Front Desk and Order Clerk, and add more as the figures prove their worth.
