2020: Beginning of robotization of routine processes

On January 18, 2021 group "EFKO", one of representatives Russian of the product market, the beginning large-scale robotization routine processes based on solutions UiPath. Together with IT- the company GMCS for January, 2021 implements three RPA- the project that allowed to reduce many times time which specialists are forced to spend for uniform work. On January 18, 2021 the UiPath company reported about it.

Robotization of process of approval of requests for payment became a pilot project. Earlier two specialists who spent not less than eight minutes for processing of each request which number during the peak periods exceeded 100 were engaged in it. Now its compliance to the set criteria checks the robot, and the specialist only controls his actions. As a result on each request less than three minutes leave, and only one specialist is engaged in it.

The robot created by GMCS on the basis of the UiPath RPA platform also allowed "EFKO" to take a flow of the entering orders under control. He checks success of import of each request to a 1C system and automatically sends the notification if the order is lost. Earlier this check had to be done manually.

The RPA solution implemented by GMCS automated verification process of new partners. Now it is only enough to employee to specify a TIN of the company, and the robot itself checks it according to all necessary databases. Time which is spent for this work managed to be reduced five times.

Our solutions help the companies to exempt workers from accomplishment of routine tasks and to give them the chance to deal with business development issues — Svetlana Anisimova, the CEO of UiPath in Russia and the CIS says. — After their implementation specialists only control robots, being connected at a decision-making stage.

On average robotization of each process took 1.5-2 months. This term includes all range of works — from the first discussion of the project with the customer before its full start after careful testing.

The EFKO company approached robotization step by step, from process to process, without having contracted the plans even in the conditions of quarantine restrictions. The efficiency from robotization was measured after each project that inspired a joint project team and gave the new ideas where still it is possible to use robots — Dmitry Smykalov, the head RPA experts of GMCS company notes.

"EFKO" will continue digitalization of business processes. After implementation of robots on the basis of the UiPath platform in financial department, robotization of logistics and branded business is planned.

For us it is important to carry out global digitalization of a company performance and to exempt employees from a routine, having directed their potential to the solution of creative and innovation tasks — Stanislav Loginov, the deputy CEO of EFKO Group for information strategy says. — Implementation of robots allowed not only to reorient employees on more interesting challenges, but also to avoid reputational risks which are possible in case of the errors caused by a human factor.
