What people found useful — and what they found limited

TS

Tan Siew Mooi

Owner, hardware supplier · Johor Bahru

"We were manually keying in data from delivery orders into our spreadsheet every day. Ahmad set up the reading step in about two weeks. It now handles about 80% of the orders without us touching them. The other 20% — mostly handwritten ones — still get flagged for manual entry, which we expected."

"The reconciliation aid shortened our monthly close from about two days to half a day. What I appreciated was that our bookkeeper was in the loop the whole time — the tool suggests, she confirms. That was important for us. There were a few transaction types it handled inconsistently at first, and they adjusted it after we flagged them."

Admin manager, trading company · Pasir Gudang

"The coaching sessions were the most useful thing we've done with any technology in years. Nadia used our actual work — mistakes our team had made the previous week — rather than a generic tutorial. Two of our staff who were hesitant about the tool are now the ones correcting it when it gets something wrong."

"We took all three services in sequence over about three months. The limitation note from the document reading step was particularly useful — it told us that certain supplier invoices with non-standard layouts would need manual attention. That saved us discovering it later. I would say the reconciliation aid is the one with the clearest return."

Accounts executive, retail chain · Johor Bahru

"I was sceptical because I've seen too many AI demos that look impressive and then don't hold up under real conditions. What Serambi did differently was tune the reading step on our actual invoice samples before handing it over. When they finally gave us the limitation note, it was accurate — the problem types they listed were exactly what we'd noticed during testing."

Mohd Faris Che Salleh

Operations manager, logistics SME · Johor Bahru

"The flat rate made the decision easier. I knew what I was committing to and there were no follow-up calls asking for additional phases. One thing I'd mention: the coaching works best if you have staff who are already using the tool regularly — if they're still learning the basics, the sessions feel like a lot to absorb in a month."

Document Reading Setup Hardware supplier, Johor Bahru

From two hours of daily keying to a 20-minute review

Starting point

A hardware supplier receiving 60–80 delivery orders daily was keying invoice data manually into their spreadsheet. Two staff members spent two hours each afternoon on this. Errors crept in during busy weeks. The data was often a day behind because they couldn't keep pace during deliveries.

What we set up

A reading step configured to extract supplier name, invoice number, item descriptions, quantities, and amounts from their standard delivery order format. Tuned on 100 recent orders. Connected to their existing Google Sheets workflow. Unclear items flagged with the field highlighted, not guessed at.

After one month

79% of delivery orders processed without manual input. Staff review the flagged 21% — mostly handwritten orders and occasional non-standard supplier formats — in about 20 minutes. The data is now current by end of business each day. Limitation note documented the handwritten gap clearly.

3 weeks setup to handover RM 135
Bookkeeping Reconciliation Aid Services firm, Skudai

Two-day month-end close shortened to half a day

Starting point

A 12-person services firm was closing its accounts at month-end through a manual process that took a part-time bookkeeper two full days. Bank lines had to be matched against 150–200 transactions each month. The bookkeeper worked overtime most months to finish before the reporting deadline.

What we set up

An integration with their existing Xero account (read access only) that pulls bank statements and open invoices and suggests matches with a confidence percentage. Unmatched items are presented in a single list. The bookkeeper reviews suggestions and confirms or overrides each one before any entry is made. Fallback procedure documented for when Xero API connection is unavailable.

After one month

First month-end close using the tool: 4.5 hours to complete instead of two days. Of 178 transactions, 141 were matched at high confidence and confirmed by the bookkeeper quickly. 37 required closer review. No transactions written to accounts without bookkeeper confirmation. Director reviewed and found no errors at the first attempt.

4 weeks setup to handover RM 360
Staff Coaching Trading company, Pasir Gudang

From reluctant users to confident troubleshooters in one month

Starting point

A trading company had set up AI tooling for drafting routine supplier replies but found that two of the three staff using it were either avoiding it or consistently using the output without reviewing it. Errors were reaching suppliers. The admin manager wanted the staff to be able to use the tool well, not just use it.

What we ran

Four one-hour coaching sessions over a month, using actual supplier replies that had been sent with errors in the previous two weeks. Each session worked backwards from a real mistake — why the tool produced that output, and what to check before sending. Staff asked to bring examples from each week. Sessions run online; one in-person visit for session 3.

After the engagement

Admin manager reports that both previously reluctant staff members now flag tool errors themselves before sending and occasionally catch each other's oversights. The company has not needed to contact us since handover. One staff member has started reviewing the tool's output for a junior colleague who joined recently, using the session recordings.
