Real-World Case Studies:

GenAI Use Cases That Delivered ROI Fast

That’s a compelling number. But where does it actually come from?

Not from vague strategies or moonshot experiments — but from smart, targeted use cases that solve real business bottlenecks.

This issue highlights practical examples from companies in Europe that achieved high ROI from GenAI adoption. Each one tackled routine, manual processes that were draining time and money. And all three started small.

Let’s dive in.

Use Case 1: Automating Order Processing from Emails

Sector: Logistics

Challenge:
After a series of mergers, a logistics provider had a fragmented order management system. Customers sent transport or service requests via emails across legacy platforms, with 100+ FTEs in a shared services center manually processing them.

AI Solution:
An AI system reads incoming customer emails, uses product catalogs and order history to understand the request, and automatically creates structured order entries for the ERP — with human review built in for quality control.

Results:

  • 98% email-reading accuracy

  • Fully automated order intake

  • 80%+ reduction in shared services center workload

  • Faster turnaround time in processing orders

  • Clear ROI measured in reduced costs

  • Scalable, with gradual rollout with human verification still possible ("human-in-the-loop")

💡 Pro Tip:
Don’t automate everything at once. Start with assisted AI, measure accuracy, and iterate. Building internal trust is key to scaling automation safely.

Use Case 2: Auto-Generating Product Descriptions from Images

Sector: E-commerce

Challenge:
An online retailer had a dedicated marketing team spending hours manually writing product descriptions — yet many listings still lacked complete info. This bottleneck delayed product launches and hurt conversions.

AI Solution:
A GenAI system now scrapes public data based on the product image, supplier and instantly generates accurate, complete descriptions — in multiple languages. No internal data exposure, no extra headcount.

Results:

  • 98%+ accurate, consistent descriptions

  • 100% product listings now complete

  • Faster time-to-market for new products

  • Freed up marketing team to focus on campaigns & growth

  • Improved SEO, customer satisfaction, and brand credibility

💡 Pro Tip:
Start with public-data tasks. This use case didn’t require internal data, so it had low privacy risk and quick deployment — a perfect first AI win.

Key Takeaway: Start Small. Think Big.

 You don’t need a giant AI program to see results.
✅ Start with one pain point.
✅ Choose a low-risk process.
✅ Automate it with GenAI.
✅ Track ROI, then expand.

In our next issues, we’ll share use cases in finance, HR, and operations — each delivering real-world business outcomes.

💡 Coming Up: AI in Microsoft Tools

Stay tuned.
