It is a challenge to merge and process data from different suppliers, logistics service providers, customers and internal departments, even with excellent IT systems. There is a need for an accessible and low-cost system to upgrade the level of automation in administrative processes in a short period of time. ‘Databots’, an application of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), can provide a fast and low-cost solution, especially for SME’s. This application is already being used within larger companies, but still relatively unknown in the logistics sector.
The use of RPA provides the possibility to innovatively digitalize without needing to adjust the existing IT-systems. The software robot works like a virtual twin of the administrative employer, that learns the day-to-day data processing and is, after that, able to do these tasks independently, 24 hours a day if needed. The software robots take over the routine data processing tasks, so the employer can focus on more complex tasks and communication with personnel, suppliers and customers.
Goal
Offering companies the opportunity to upgrade their levels of automation and digitize their logistic administrative processes in a short period of time with an accessible and low-cost system.
