Robotic process automation (RPA) is a custom software tool that can partially or fully automate repetitive manual business procedures to increase efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. The “bot” can be instructed to complete any high-volume, time-consuming task by interacting with and manipulating information within existing applications to generate a variety of desired outputs
RPA can virtually eliminate the time and extra money spent doing mundane computer activities, such as data extraction and organization, order processing, sending email notifications, payroll calculation, format conversion, printing, customer management, information collection and transfers, copy-and-paste type tasks, and so much more
The “bot” complies with any rules-based instruction, accessing information from your computer files, applications, or the internet to complete tasks automatically. These actions can either be triggered manually or by an event, so the amount of human intervention is completely customizable. If the bot discovers an error or inconsistency in the information found, it can provide immediate feedback to bring judgement-based processes to your attention
