Case Study:
Wise
A scalable AI productivity solution using Claude, accelerating workflows and reducing manual effort across teams.
Background
Wise wanted to explore how generative AI could be introduced into everyday internal operations in a practical, controlled, and value-driven way. The objective was not simply to experiment with AI, but to identify real tasks where employees could save time, reduce repetitive effort, and improve the speed and consistency of their work.
Across technical and operational teams, many day-to-day activities involve recurring analysis, documentation, troubleshooting, drafting, coordination, and process execution. These activities are necessary, but they can consume significant employee time when performed manually. Wise therefore looked for an AI platform that could support employees directly in their workflows while also creating a foundation for future automation initiatives.
A further objective was to introduce AI in a way that could be adopted by different teams rather than limiting usage to a single technical function. This meant providing a shared environment where employees could use AI assistance for approved business use cases and where technical teams could benefit from more specialized coding capabilities.
Proposed Solution
Wise adopted Claude for Teams and introduced Claude Code as part of its internal AI enablement initiative. Claude for Teams provides employees with a shared environment for using Claude in daily work, while Claude Code gives technical teams a more focused way to use Claude for software development, troubleshooting, code understanding, and implementation-related tasks.
The solution is centered on practical internal use cases. Employees can use Claude to assist with analysis, documentation, drafting, summarization, problem solving, and other knowledge-work activities. Technical teams can use Claude Code to better understand existing code, investigate issues, accelerate development tasks, review implementations, and reduce the time required to move from an initial idea or problem to a workable solution.
Wise is also using Claude as an enabler for workflow automation. Repetitive internal processes can be assessed to determine where AI can assist with information handling, decision support, content generation, or task execution. By combining direct employee productivity use cases with workflow automation, Wise is building a broader AI-enabled operating model rather than treating Claude as a standalone tool.
The rollout approach emphasizes gradual adoption, practical value, and continued identification of suitable use cases. This allows teams to learn where Claude provides the greatest benefit and creates a path for expanding usage as internal confidence and experience grow.
Metrics for Success
With approximately 10 Claude seats deployed across the organization, Wise is measuring success primarily through time saved, reduced manual effort, faster execution, and the growing use of AI across day-to-day technical and operational activities. The following indicators provide a practical view of the expected productivity impact of the initiative.
| Metric | Success Indicator | Business Impact |
| Organizational adoption | Approximately 10 Claude seats deployed across the organization | Establishes an initial AI-enabled user base and a foundation for expanding Claude to additional teams and workflows. |
| Time saved per user | Estimated 30-45 minutes saved per user per working day | Reflects faster drafting, analysis, documentation, research, troubleshooting, and execution of repetitive tasks. |
| Monthly team capacity gained | Estimated 50-75 employee hours saved per month across approximately 10 seats | Returns meaningful working capacity to the team and allows employees to spend more time on higher-value activities. |
| Reduction in manual effort | Estimated 20-30% reduction in effort for selected repetitive and AI-assisted tasks | Demonstrates the impact of using Claude to support recurring internal processes and reduce repetitive work. |
| Technical task acceleration | Estimated 20-30% faster turnaround for selected technical activities | Shows how Claude Code can accelerate code analysis, troubleshooting, documentation, scripting, and development support. |
| Workflow efficiency | Increasing use of Claude to assist or automate repeatable internal workflows | Moves AI adoption beyond individual productivity toward broader operational efficiency and process improvement. |
| Speed to first output | Faster movement from a requirement or idea to a first draft, analysis, script, or implementation | Allows employees to focus more time on validation, decision-making, refinement, and higher-value work. |

Conclusion
By introducing Claude for Teams and Claude Code, Wise has created a practical foundation for integrating generative AI into everyday internal work. The initiative supports both technical and non-technical employees, helping them reduce repetitive effort, accelerate common tasks, and use AI as an assistant within real operational workflows.
The value of the initiative extends beyond individual productivity. By identifying repeatable processes that can be enhanced or automated with Claude, Wise is creating opportunities to improve efficiency at the workflow level and to make AI part of how work is executed across the organization.
As usage expands, Wise can continue identifying new high-value use cases, refining internal practices, and measuring the impact of AI on productivity and execution speed. This provides a scalable path toward broader AI adoption while keeping the focus on practical business outcomes and employee enablement.
