RPA in Retail

Retail’s next big revolution is here.

Robotic process automation (RPA) improves workflow and creates efficiencies for business users in various industries around the world. How can retailers take advantage of RPA’s far reaching benefits?

What does Robotic Process Automation (RPA) mean for retail?

RPA is technology that uses computer programs to execute predefined tasks in a workflow. For retailers, these tasks can range from back office and corporate operations to manufacturing floors and production facilities to inventory and accounting. Unfortunately, while many of these retail tasks are critical, they are also highly time-consuming and labor intensive. RPA and intelligent process automation deliver unparalleled efficiencies by automating these tasks, providing cost reduction, improved productivity, and a better environment for auditability.

RPA In Retail: Use Cases

By incorporating RPA in retail operations, tasks like invoice processing take less time and have fewer errors. Instead of delegating mountains of paperwork to people to manually parse and distribute data into appropriate programs for processing, this task can be performed by RPA bots, which can use optical character recognition (OCR) and other machine learning algorithms to scan documents 24/7 and automatically route data where they need to go.
