Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that allows businesses to automate repetitive, rule-based tasks by using software robots or “bots.” These bots can mimic human interactions with digital systems such as reading screens, entering data, navigating applications, and performing various predefined actions — all without modifying existing IT infrastructure. We’ve been developing an RPA solution to automate the invoice processing workflow for a distribution company, using UiPath, OCR (ABBYY FlexiCapture), and SAP integration. The bot monitors incoming emails, extracts invoice data from PDF attachments, validates it, and inputs it into SAP automatically. This solution reduced processing time from 4 minutes to 30 seconds per invoice, minimized errors to below 0.1%, and significantly decreased manual workload—achieving full ROI within 4 months.
Robot as a Service (RaaS) is a cloud-based service model that delivers robotic process automation and physical robot capabilities on a subscription or pay-per-use basis. It allows businesses to access and scale robotic solutions without high upfront investment in hardware or software. RaaS combines artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing to provide flexible, cost-efficient automation for tasks such as customer service, logistics, manufacturing, and office operations. This model enables companies to deploy automation quickly, reduce operational costs, and adapt to changing demands with minimal technical overhead. We’ve been developing and implementing a Robot as a Service (RaaS) solution for a mid-sized retail company to streamline its warehouse and order fulfillment operations. Through our cloud-based robotic automation system, the company was able to deploy autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for real-time inventory picking and shelf restocking, all managed remotely via a central dashboard. The RaaS model allowed them to scale robot usage based on seasonal demand without purchasing the robots outright—only paying for usage hours. Integrated with their existing ERP system and powered by AI, the solution improved picking accuracy by over 98%, reduced labor costs by 40%, and accelerated order processing time by 60%. The subscription-based model also enabled faster ROI and operational flexibility with minimal IT overhead.
This is your chance to emphasize your company with technology.
