RPA provides a vast resource pool that mimics human behaviour and automates mundane,repetitive tasks that employees find demotivating, which affects their performance and productivity. Moreover, the resource pool is not made up of humans, humanoids, or robots, but software code delivered accurately and consistently across the globe through the cloud. The idea is that mistakes are avoided or minimized. RPA does not require to replace existing back-office systems; instead, it adds automation to existing systems to mimic human behaviour, thereby saving on the expense of new infrastructure and operations.
Let us get a closer picture of a few of the productivity tips of RPA:
- Ensures Your Support Team provides Faster Service
- Prevents Costly Errors
- Uninterrupted Resource Pool
- Chatbots with RPA
- Increases manual productivity – A happier and more Productive Workforce
- Supports in Reconciliation
- Eliminates the Time Spent On Nurturing Unqualified Leads
Automation in the front office and back office will not substitute human employees but offers an essential support framework. Overall, the RPA bots and employees working hand in hand can remodel team productivity, customer experience, accuracy, and productivity.Productivity increase is a challenge for companies in this competitive world. Increased working hours, a new workforce, and other strategies have yielded diminishing returns. Robotic Process Automation is the best bet for companies to amplify their productivity and that too accurately, in record time and without workforce fatigue or space constraints.
RPA provides an unlimited resource pool that effectively mimics the actual human behaviour, and it automates the very mundane, repetitive tasks that hamper the employees’ productivity.
Here we are no longer talking about the manufacture and deployment of humanoid robots operated with some artificial intelligence assistance. We are talking about software program codes known as ‘bots’ that are written and made available in the cloud to be delivered swiftly to a user somewhere in the world.
These bots are available 24 hours, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Unlike the human or humanoid robot, the bots never take a break and never make a mistake as long as the coding and the logic behind them are error-free and sound.
The attraction of RPA is that even the very non-technical people in the company can participate in its design and development. After all, it is the non-technical business people who understand the process and workflows better.
The planning pool discusses and prepares the workflow, touchpoints, and pain points in a process. Manual and repetitive tasks get easily identified and assigned to software people to develop the bots that can keep repeating the tasks without breaking or causing any error.
This way, the business can eliminate repetitive and low importance jobs from manual resourcing and concentrate on the high-value strategic tasks that contributed majorly to the business bottom line.
The productivity is amplified without the requirement to hire additional resources, space, and relatively lower time spent even on supervision.
RPA helps productivity by way of:
- Automating the very manual mundane tasks that are repetitive
- Reduces huge human resources requirements
- Saves space and administrative bottlenecks
- Provides error-free and swift processing
- Available anywhere anytime through cloud storage
- Artificial intelligence and analytical tools generate valuable information and statistics
- Combined with human management and humanoid robots, overall productivity and the bottom line gets amplified
Irrespective of the industry or area, the back-office employees are the pivot that holds together a business. They are regularly called upon to multitask, expected to be good with numbers, are experts in human aid management, experts in analytic software, and generally are very skilled.
They are expected to be business managers, understanding business dynamics, business intelligence, market intelligence, and sales skills. And more importantly, they are to be tech-savvy, technology evaluators, and implemented.
These multidimensional, multitasking resources are generally scarce. Even if they are found, their productivity and effectiveness are adversely affected if they are neck-deep involved in day-to-day, monotonous, repetitive paperwork and are forced to work on silos.
Deploying Robotic Process Automation across the areas of services they are to manage, such as call centres, customer hubs, data entry units, and filing systems, will increase management and supervision efficiency. RPA is best deployed through positive synergy along with robots and humans.
The back-office staff who are the backbone of any business benefits from RPA
- Their repetitive, monotonous, and sometimes dull tasks are automated, and they are freed of those nonproductive jobs
- They get to look after revenue-generating and critical tasks
- Jobs become rich in content, and job satisfaction is ensured
- Back office staff get to involve in business decisions than to work in silos
- The challenge of employee retention because of dull, repetitive work is simplified
- All these without replacing systems and hardware
From the above, it is seen that RPA usually does not envisage the replacement of the back-office systems. The process is to identify the workflow and automate the process without changing the way it is done manually. RPA mimics human behaviour as substantial cost savings are possible without investing in any new systems or machines.
With the availability of several high-profile RPA developers and complete system providers, there is always a choice for the businesses to buy off the shelf or plan to have an inhouse development.
Productivity increase at minimum additional cost is a definite advantage of the RPA implementation. Savings in manual efforts have their challenges by way of job losses. But a progressive organization acquires efficiency to expand the existing business and venture into new profitable ones. This way, the resources replaced by automation can be deployed.
From all these benefits, we can see how the implementation of Robotic Process Automation amplifies productivity.
