A CLOSE LOOK AT REAL WORLD RPA EXAMPLES

RPA Robots automating tasks across industries

RPA By Use Cases

A digital transformation strategy for an organization should cover every function or department that has processes with high automation potential. From procurement to delivery management and customer service, RPA robots can help each of the functions streamline their processes - quickly and securely.

At Cloud4C, we have designed ready-to-use as well as customized Robotic Process Automation solutions for every function, enabling them to achieve operational efficiency with scalable automation.

RPA in Supply Chain

Simplified inventory, shipments, and materiel processing

 

RPA Robots handling end-to-end - Procurement to Production

Robotic Process Automation is being increasingly adopted within the supply chain for supply/demand planning, vendor selection/evaluation, inventory management and to attain faster cycle times. Organizations are taking an end-to-end Robotic Process Automation approach in the supply chain to gain full benefits.

Processes that have benefited from our intelligent RPA solutions:

  • Material Master Data Management
  • PR to PO Conversion (Automated PO creation for the Contract Items)
  • GRN Posting
  • MIS Report (Days of Inventory, Lead Time, Vendor Evaluation)
  • Ageing Inventory
  • Open PO
 

RPA Use Case - Accelerating Procurement process

Cloud4C has designed and built intelligent automation for Dodla Dairy, a leading dairy firm in South India, for streamlining processes - right from milk collection from 22+ lakh farmers to invoicing till distribution.

Based on their existing processes, the RPA solution was customized to meet their requirements. Automation solution included tagging milk from each farmer, categorizing based on weight, fat and SNF content, updating milk collection reports & truck sheets, sending alerts, posting Goods Received Note (GRN), and checking & calculating prices so that each farmer gets paid appropriately as per his produce.

Results

  • 16 processes automated
  • 950 hours saved monthly
  • 40 % reduction in processing time
  • 100% accuracy achieved

RPA Use Case - Flawlessly processing Invoices

We designed RPA robots for many organizations that take care of their accounts payable processes such as accessing invoice documents, updating vendor information, validating, and processing payments.

At Cloud4C, we use an in-house Optical Character Recognition (OCR) platform to automate data capture from various structured and unstructured data formats (paper-based as well as online), also take care of accuracy and training required as per customer's processes.

RPA bots capture information present in the form of structured/unstructured data, and process that information, for correctness, based on some set-rules defined by the customer. The validated invoices are then updated into the SAP system, and notifications are sent to Administrators.

RPA in IT Services

Bringing back the focus on core functions

Routine tasks take up by Virtual IT Team members made possible through RPA

IT teams receive a lot of service requests that are simple and repetitive, and for such requests, all they need to do is follow some defined steps. A Virtual IT team member powered by Robotic Process Automation can offload the IT team with such requests, thereby helping the core team concentrate on higher priority or complex issues.

Processes that have benefited from our intelligent RPA solutions:

  • Self-help for Users services like Password Reset, Mailbox management, and 9 other activities
  • SAP Landscape Health Check
  • Infrastructure Compliance reports
  • Active User Reports
 

RPA Use Case - Optimizing IT services

At a leading firm, automated SAP health check activity, freeing their IT team to focus more on complex tasks. SAP health checks and status typically include some rudimentary tasks, which can be easily automated.

Their SAP landscape health check included working on 22 T-Codes that were being run by their (L2/L3) engineers and generating reports which were consuming an average of 2-3 man-hours. The RPA robot was introduced in their system to remove rudimentary tasks from their L2/L3 resources task list. This robot logs into all the systems in SAP landscape, runs 22 T-codes, extracts report, and, based on standard parameters defined, sends alerts for only cases that need L2/L3 engineer's attention.
