Automating Customer Onboarding

Need to onboard a client and check their payment history? Cascade handles it. It first uses `list_customers` to confirm the account exists, then checks for active services using `list_subscriptions`, all without you having to prompt each step. You can also drill down into specific accounts by calling `retrieve_customer`. This lets your agent build a full customer profile—from initial contact details right up through their current billing status.

Financial Reporting and Auditing

When you need to audit revenue, let Cascade take over. You can tell it to find all financial activity for the quarter, and it'll chain together calls to `list_invoices`, `list_payments`, and `list_expenses`. It builds a cohesive report that shows exactly where the money came from. Beyond basic transactions, if you want to track discounts or adjustments, Cascade uses `list_credit_notes` to pull every applicable credit note. This gives you a complete picture of revenue adjustments for any given period.

Product and Project Lifecycle Management

Track what services are being offered and how they translate into money. Cascade starts by listing all available pricing models using `list_plans` and identifying the specific items sold via `list_products`. This gives you the full catalog view. For service businesses, it’s critical to tie billing back to work done. You can check which projects are billable with `list_projects`, or review initial sales quotes by calling `list_estimates` to see what clients were initially quoted.
