Improving Operational Efficiency & Customer Experience

Including Robotic Process Automation (RPA) as part of your overall digital strategy will provide additional opportunities to transform and streamline your organisation’s processes without significant investment in IT systems. RPA provides an organisation with increased speed and agility, reducing manual processes and improving accuracy and reliability – helping the human workforce focus on driving increased value for the business.

Successful RPA solutions require close collaboration between business and technology, a focus on process design and agile delivery, and always involve a cultural dimension. These all align to Keytree’s strengths – we have experience defining and creating successful global Robotics Centres of Excellence that can help an organisation govern and manage the risks inherent in RPA and ensure business objectives are fully achieved.

What can RPA offer your business

Increased compliance  – RPA removes data gaps between disparate sources and logs all actions completed by the software robots throughout automation. This allows employees to proactively recognise and manage any compliance issues and consistently run internal reviews.

Improved customer experience –  RPA alleviates staff from the burden of repetitive, high-volume tasks and in turn, these automation capabilities allows organisations to deliver higher quality services to their customers in a timely manner.

Implement fast, achieve ROI fast – RPA solutions can be implemented within large organisations over the space of a few weeks, offering ROI within six months, reducing error rates to zero with manual effort reduced to 5% and processing time reduced by upwards of 80%.

Reduce effort in the back office – Automating store closing reports processes in retail frees up store-based employees to focus on more customer-centric activities. The RPA robots can move the closing reports to one server, then read and consolidate the required information for the store’s closing reports.

Improve customer service in the front office – Trade credit insurance companies can automate their credit limit request underwriting processes. Where underwriters were previously gathering information manually, from internal (Risk & Policy) or external (Customer Site, Google News) sources, by using RPA, they can save thousands of hours of human work a month – allowing employees to spend that time working directly with customers.

How is RPA different from other enterprise automation tools?

Fast benefit realisation

When RPA is focused on the right processes for automation, the ease of implementation, quick deployment and low operational costs can help the business achieve benefits quickly.

Business led, with IT support

The importance of process design and lack of coding means the majority of RPA engagements are business led but they cannot succeed without strong collaboration and support from IT.

No disruption to underlying systems

The robots run on the user interface mirroring a users process steps. No changes are required to the underlying applications decreasing time to value.

Minimal up-front investment

The majority of RPA implementations are cloud-based with the main cost the licence for the Bot. This is on the scale of <10K for 24hr processing rather than >100K for a BPM solution.

Highly scalable

RPA allows the supply of Robots to match changes in the demand profile across multiple processes, improving scalability and helping the human workforce focus on complex activities.
