What We Do
Reindeer automates backoffice workflows in industries like logistics, supply chain, banking, finance and more. The work we target is manual, time-consuming, and hard to document completely.
Our approach is different because we focus on process mining before and after automation. We capture the messy, realistic side of how work gets done, train AI agents with small sample sets, and continuously retrain them with human-in-the-loop processes as your business changes. This keeps AI accurate and prevents the drift and hallucinations that cause implementations to fail. The platform adapts to whatever process creates the most friction for your team.
We've successfully automated workflows like payment approvals, quote management, and document processing for Fortune 500 companies like Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and Papaya.
