Often, automating tasks does not require a major system project or a change in working practices. RPA is a convenient and straightforward way to automate complex processes or laborious parts of them. RPA is used for many tasks such as exporting data to systems, generating reports and processing rule-based information, for example in ERP systems.
Today, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is not just limited to automating financial management processes, but all functions of a company, from human resources to production, can benefit from the advantages of RPA. This also leaves more time for employees to do meaningful work and focus on serving customers to the best of their ability.
The benefits of RPA include:
- Efficiency: RPA can perform tasks faster and more accurately than a human, leading to more efficient workflows
- Cost savings: RPA can save both IT and personnel costs
- Error reduction: RPA reduces human errors, leading to better data and work quality
- Scalability: RPA scales according to activity or workload
- Improved employee experience: employees' time is freed from manual tasks, allowing them to focus on more complex and value-adding tasks
- Flexibility: the robot can operate 24 hours a day, allowing for more flexible working.
