Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

What is process automation?

Robotic Process Automation is based on using software that mimics human behaviour in repetitive processes, RPA is a technical approach towards automating repetitive tasks previously performed by employees, and frees them from monotonous work to dedicate time to more productive tasks. Through technology advancement in automation, the possibility of using technologies such as AI or machine learning is starting to arise. This not only leads to cost reduction, but also reduces the risk of human error. Is automation the future of finance and accounting services? Definitely. This not only concerns repetitive processes (especially accounting), but also the possibility of implementing solutions allowing for controlling and detecting calculation errors or automatic verification of contractors.

Why should your business implement RPA solutions?

• Robotic Process Automation works at the user interface (GUI) of existing systems and company software, understood as the e-mail Client and ERP systems, and does not require knowledge of the overall company system.
• Implementing RPA solutions is a short-term process in comparison to changes in overall functioning of the business- the implementation is a short process, carried out in a few months’ time
• Robotic Process Automation eliminates human error.
• Automation allows employees to focus on creative tasks.

What are other benefits of RPA?

• Decreasing business process costs,
• Automatic solutions that work 24/7,
• Possibility of using existing infrastructure without implementing operational systems or IT tools,
• Access to the robot’s history logs.
