Task Automation
IMPACT STORYManual processes, staff overloaded with work, suboptimal quality of execution, complexity of tasks is perceived as a constraint, resistance to new processes was prevalent. These were the components of a story that yielded to robotic automation, optimized performance, and morale improvement.
Challenge
- Business had recently reduced number of staff causing negative impact on morale
- Staff and management wished to alleviate strain from increased workload
- Complexity of tasks and the deemed need for “human thought process” was perceived as an impediment for streamlining
Solution
- Transformed key processes from human reliance to 100% automation resulting in higher quality execution, reduced team workload, and improved client experience and commercial performance.
