RPA Solution

RPA can assist account receivables and order fulfilment staff in handling manual tasks, thereby eliminating human errors and freeing them up to concentrate on crucial operational tasks. Many pitfalls such as inconsistent data and documents, process inefficiencies, payment overdue, duplicates, and reactive fixes of discounts get eliminated using automated assistants. RPA helps in deploying user interfaces that replace dozens of screens, ensuring OTC accuracy and enforcing standards throughout the process. Also, AI enabled chatbots communicate with customers to get their queries resolved on minor and daily issues like the status of orders, reasons for delivery delays, etc. in real time.
