How RPAs are revolutionizing business efficiency: 5 key applications per department

In an increasingly demanding business environment, Automation has become a key ally to improve operational efficiency.

Below, we explore five key areas where Business Process Automation (RPA) is already having a tangible impact.

What are RPAs?

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) are software tools designed to mimic human behavior when interacting with digital applications.

When developing and implementing RPAs, actions such as using the keyboard or mouse are replicated to perform repetitive tasks, such as entering data or managing emails.

Its main objective is to automate specific processes within a company, improving efficiency, reducing human error, and allowing employees to focus on higher-value tasks.

5 RPA Applications by Department

1. Supply Chain

Automation in this department allows for a much more agile and precise management:

• Processing customer orders from email to the ERP.
• Creating orders to suppliers from warehouse stock.
• Creation of internal manufacturing orders from warehouse stock.
• Generation of labels and logistics documentation.

2. Quality

Continuous quality monitoring and improvement benefit greatly from RPAs:

• Automatic generation of non-conformities in the plant
• Control and traceability of defects in production.
• Analysis of data extracted from workshop machines, for subsequent visualization in Power BI.

3. Occupational Risk Prevention (ORP)

Coordination between health and safety platforms can be automated to ensure compliance and efficiency:

• Connection between Health, Safety and Occupational Health and Safety Provider platforms and Occupational Risk Prevention Software (fitness letters, medical results).
• Attach documentation to your clients' CAE platform to access their facilities.
• Automatic sending of medical appointments to workers.
• Recording and analysis of work-related incidents.

4. Finance

One of the departments that benefits most from the saving time and reducing errors:

• Automatic invoice posting and bank reconciliation to the ERP.
• Extraction of the Banking Situation of each bank and company account, real-time financial reports.
• Generation of invoices for hours allocated to projects, in management software.
• Automation of payment and collection management.

5. Human Resources (HR)

Human capital can also be managed with greater efficiency thanks to RPAs:

• Automation of workday and absence management, to control software.
• Extraction of overtime, night shifts, and holidays from HR software.
• Upload payroll PDFs to employee portals and auto-email them from HR software.
• Performance analysis and talent management.

Others

• Education: Uploading documentation from ERP to state platforms to justify subsidized courses.

10 Advantages of Implementing RPA in Your Department

1. Time saving

   • RPAs perform tasks in seconds that would take a person minutes or hours, accelerating key business processes.

2. Error reduction

   • By automating repetitive tasks, common human errors such as mistakes when copying data or interpreting information are eliminated.

3. Increased productivity

   • The robots work 24/7 without breaks or fatigue, allowing for active processes outside of work hours.

4. Better use of human talent

   • Employees can focus on higher-value tasks, such as decision-making, creativity, or customer service.

5. Greater regulatory compliance

   • RPAs record every action they perform, facilitating traceability and compliance with regulations and audits.

6. Scalability

   • It's possible to scale processes quickly without hiring additional staff, simply by deploying more bots.

7. Integration without drastic changes

   • RPAs can work on existing systems without having to replace them or modify their architecture, which reduces costs and implementation times.

8. Improvement in service quality

   • By reducing errors and wait times, the internal and external customer experience is improved.

9. Fast return on investment (ROI)

   • Many companies realize tangible benefits within a few months of implementing RPA, thanks to operational efficiency and cost reduction.

10. Adaptability to different departments

• From Finance and HR to Logistics and Manufacturing, RPAs can be applied in multiple areas without technical limitations.
