Robotic Process Automation, another method of efficiency

RPA :  Robotic Process Automation - Automate any manual process

 

RPA enabled System:

• Automate repetitive tasks which save time and money.
• System which completes the task faster and allows employees to focus on higher-value work.
• Reducing human error and increasing throughput
• We can show how a process that took about 10–11 minutes could be reduced to 10–11 seconds.

We can work on any painful areas or need automation for any process to reduce manual intervention and improve productivity. We can automate reading data from PDF and entering it into the system with the help of the RPA tool. Examples: Vendor invoices, Test Certificates, Lease Agreements etc.

A few processes which we automated recently are

• Vendor Invoices can be automatically read from PDF documents or excel spreadsheets and input into the system without manual intervention.
• Auto upload of Tank Test certificates with the last and next due date directly read from PDF documents.
• Auto upload of Depot repair estimates with line item wise damage details directly read from PDF/excel sheets and go through approval process
• Auto upload of daily gate-in/out movements for the complete inventory

 

Technologies used

Our core team has vast knowledge both on the shipping and software side, which is our biggest strength to develop and deliver tailor-made solutions to the industry. We speak the same language as the customer does, hence there is no communication gap for any matter and we deliver as required and as committed.

Technologies stacks used:

 

Simplifying Operations

Moving operations digitally will simplify many operational challenges and track them on the go. Shipping involves multiple parties to deliver the cargo from one place to another, so having a system in place, all stakeholders will have clear visibility of the entire cycle and can take appropriate actions wherever needed.

Digital operations can assist an organisation in re-engineering and streamlining processes in order to manage more efficiently. An organisation that digitises their operations can see reducing operating costs, improving user experiences, making clear budget and revenue forecasts, calculating and avoiding dead ends, delivering better outcomes and achieving top-line growth.

 

Domain Experts

We have an experienced team of 20 members, comprised of technology and domain experts. We have a dedicated 24x6 support team to handle all queries from customers globally. We follow Agile project management to visualise work, limit work in progress, and maximise efficiency.

 

The Top Solution Provider

We are already one of the top solution providers to the ISO Tank industry and we want to be number one in the world to provide software solutions to ISO Tanks in the next three years and extend our KPO services to all so that tank logistics companies can invest more time on real business rather than on documentation work and the rest we take care of.
