Automating business processes is an important factor for a company’s success, especially for enterprises that are part of the supply chain for energy and chemicals. Automated processes increase operational efficiency, optimize throughput times, facilitate operational transparency and improve flexibility when adapting to changes in business processes.
In an industry responsible for processing and handling hazardous goods, it is especially worthwhile to replace error-prone manual work with automated processes by digitalizing business processes on an end-to-end basis. Add that to the scarcity of qualified employees and automation becomes a foolproof form of insulation for any business against the effects of employee turnover.
Through intelligent business process automation, OpenTAS’s iBPA provides consulting and implementation services that are tailored to meet the needs of the energy and chemical industries: starting with an initial end-to-end assessment to identify use cases through to a detailed requirements and process analysis and finishing with successful implementation.
iBPA – our intelligent business automation services – enable you to deploy IT solutions quickly and efficiently in pursuit of automation. We offer comprehensive consulting services, working with you to develop automation scenarios and implement measures rapidly to embed these solutions within your operational processes. Manual activities can be automated quickly and cost-effectively both internally and for your customers thanks to Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Digital Process Automation (DPA) tools.
A scenario: Imagine you are working in an office and you receive multiple emails containine essential master data such as vessel and railcar movements or the day-end closing figures of multiple gas stations. RPA and DPA help you to categorize this email flow, understand the information in the emails and extract it. Using the power of pre-trained AI models, RPA and DPA tools can even forward this information within a specific context to an on-premises system or cloud application for further processing. In other words: No more copying data from one screen to another.
Our consulting services help you to develop these automation scenarios, ensuring each process is tailored to meet your specific needs. This is complemented by our rapid implementation capabilities, allowing you to see tangible results quickly.
