Overview
- Industry: Mining / Gold Trading
- Client: Gold by Gold
- Duration: Phase 1 (7 months ROI) + ongoing improvements
- Key Services: Process Automation, AI Integration, Data Verification
- Tech Stack: n8n, LLMs for Captcha solving, Headless Broweser, Proxy, APIs, MS Excel
The Challenge
Gold by Gold needed to comply with government-mandated due diligence in the gold supply chain. Manual verification of suppliers required checking several government websites, which consumed nearly 200 hours per month of operational effort.
Key challenges included:
- Manual checks on government websites for supplier verification.
- Storing evidence (screenshots, reports) in scattered formats.
- Long turnaround times for compliance validation.
The Solution
Celerik’s AI Automations team designed and delivered an automated verification workflow:
- Developed two APIs for:
- Life condition verification.
- Judicial background checks.
- Integrated AI-driven Captcha solving to handle government portals.
- Automated workflows with n8n, processing data from Excel and consolidating evidence.
- Generated PDF and Excel reports with screenshots for audit and compliance.
“Good understanding of the workflow mechanics; always ready to back us up and solve problems.”
