5 benefits of implementing automation software

Author: Ethienni Martins

Automation is a multi-faceted initiative in companies: there is automation done with specialized systems, such as ERPs and CRMs, and there is automation using RPA and Artificial Intelligence.

RPA consists of a new approach to process automation, from the creation of routines that simulate exactly the same steps as a human user in the execution of a specific process. There are several advantages and benefits in implementing automation software, so let's see 5 of them:

‍

1.    Time optimization

With the implementation of RPA routines/scripts, we have the agility to perform processes, analyzes and administrative routines of an office or department of the company. This is because the robot imitates human performance in repetitive tasks, however, much faster and more consistently, thanks to the programming of routines in scripts (software).

2.    Acceleration of Digital Transformation

Automation extends and facilitates the deployment of the use of AI and Data Science, which dramatically increases the competitive advantage of companies.

Digital Transformation consists of several projects and actions for companies to achieve a greater degree of automation and resilience.

3.  Operational scalability

With automated processes, it is possible to predict the effort to increase the efficiency of operational areas, for example: serve more customers, process more purchase orders, reduce credit analysis time, among others. Consequently, there is a reduction in operating costs, as automation creates a cost reduction strategy that, if well structured and implemented, will not have a negative impact on its operational quality, nor on the company's performance.

In addition, automation software also brings better indicators of the processes, the so-called KPIs. Thus, we have the chance to measure and evaluate - more broadly - whether the performance of an initiative or action plan is effectively responding to the goals and objectives outlined in the business strategic plan.

4.    Non-invasive technology

There is an increasing search for less invasive technologies, that is, technologies that interact with the ecosystem of processes and platforms of companies.

RPA is non-invasive in nature, which means it is particularly useful when you want to streamline operations without revamping existing IT systems. RPA technology provides independent software agents that gather and update information in other commercial software applications, automating actions against existing user interfaces (Windows based, web or other platform).

5.    Correct incomplete processes

For various reasons, some business processes are terminated manually or with inconsistent integrations between systems. Automation allows the consistency of information to be verified and allows incomplete processes to be terminated consistently and with data quality. This is because the automated processes become fully standardized and adhere to the established standards, in addition to leaving detailed “traces” of how the tasks were carried out, simplifying any audits. Thus, you gain an increase in the level of visibility and compliance of the processes.
