One Automation Agent. 5,000 Hours Saved. What if you had twelve?

To address these challenges, the Automation Anywhere automation platform was Andritz’s answer to implement an extensive automation strategy that revolutionized their operations.

Automation tools were employed for handling purchase orders, quotations and invoices more efficiently.

By leveraging the power of intelligent automation tools data is now automatically extracted from documents and emails, cross-checks in SAP are performed automatically, and various documents within the sales process, like quotations or sales orders, are generated automatically, making the overall end-to-end process more efficient.

Similarly, purchase order processing was streamlined using IDP to extract relevant data from incoming documents, while RPA routed this information to the appropriate teams, ensuring smooth and accurate handling.

Invoice management also transformed as automated workflows categorized incoming invoices, validated them against SAP records, and minimized manual effort.
A pivotal aspect of the solution was the establishment of a Mixed Team Model.

This innovative structure combined internal IT developers and managers, external development partners, citizen developers and key users from various business units, creating a collaborative framework for ongoing automation initiatives. This approach not only enhanced scalability but also empowered employees to contribute to process improvements.

“For us, the citizen developer model has proven to be a very effective approach to RPA development.

As the main development work is done within our business team, we can iterate quicky, communication is seamless, and we develop valuable expertise in-house.

The experienced consultants from the BPA team, provide us with the technical support and project management skills needed to guide us through the process.”
