The quote to cash process is considered a critical business process. This process usually runs over multiple applications transferring customer information across, generating and sending an invoice. Further tasks can be to check the delivery and payment status which often involves time consuming manual steps.
Not only can bots take over this mostly repetitive and mundane task, they also increase the speed, accuracy and reduce error rates. As a result skilled staff can turn to higher value activities. Clients will receive invoices earlier, which can also lead to better cash flow.

The procure-to-pay process often involves extracting invoice data from multiple systems like CRM and ERP systems that don’t integrate across each other easily and therefore need manual steps.
Since bots work on the front end of any system, they can provide this transfer without the need of expensive and complex API development. The additional values add is the control you have over the quality of the process as its being executed.

Statement processing can involve different types of activities such as extracting data, comparing data and entering data into various applications. Sometimes there is a need for a correction or a particular person needs to be informed based on the finding.
Bots can get this work done quickly and accurately. Furthermore you may consider adding additional tasks for the bot that would otherwise be to time intensive for a person to do.

Payroll is a highly repetitive and therefore mundane process with various steps that need to be performed towards HMRC as well as internal company policies. This process is highly suited for bots and can free up valuable time internally.

Compiling information into a report is a process that many companies go through. Sometimes these activities are outsourced or performed internally, but often plays a critical role within the core processes in a company. Lawyers for example have to compile cases and review these before making a decision to take them on. Bots can compile these reports and provide them to lawyers faster and with no errors.

In order to improve services and be more competitive, business processes are become more complex and require more steps across more and more applications. While this is very good, it also increases the workload if these steps have to be performed manually. Bots are perfectly suited to help execute additional steps without taking up time of skilled staff.

Most companies and departments track their performance on a daily basis. This means pulling information from various sources, making calculations and creating reports.

Every company has a central information system that connects most departments and enables the majority of business processes. Although these systems are all about increasing efficiency and automating tasks, every company uses the systems for different purposes. Once a company settles with a particular ERP/CRM system, bots can automate tasks on top and across these systems providing the full benefit of these expensive applications.
