Automated Repetitive & Manual Tasks and Augmented Order Processing with Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

The Client

The client is a leading & cutting edge supplier of personal care products, drinkware & more in the promotional products industry. They design, develop and supply best quality & variety of products including mugs, clocks, dental & pet supplies which are unique & can be customized as per the customers’ requirements.

The Business Challenge

Every day, the client receives bulk purchase orders from their customers through emails in an unstructured & non-defined pdf format. These orders had to be processed manually by the operating team under a very tight timeline. The data received had to be fed into their ERP systems for the processing which was time consuming and required greater attention to avoid any errors.

 

  • A bigger team was required to operate manually the bulk orders within a short span of time coming in different formats
  • High volume of order with 700+ orders received every day for processing
  • Lack of standardization in formats of purchase orders lead to non-usage of EDI tools throughout the industry
  • Outsourcing tasks to operating teams incurred huge investments along with opportunity cost involved with resources indulged in manual tasks
