My team feels comfortable configuring and enabling new formats in IQ Bot. It's a generation ahead of the previous technology that we were using, much faster to configure and much faster in processing.

Elastic capacity: Automation ensures smooth processing across order volume spikes.

The company experiences high variability in customer order volumes, with significant surges in demand every quarter end. Staffing became an ongoing challenge for the company, and at the end of every quarter they would recruit and onboard temporary workers. They did this to make sure orders were processed on time, only to repeat the cycle the next quarter. Digitizing customer orders offered little improvement with high set-up costs and painful troubleshooting. So, determining how to efficiently handle spikes in order volume remained unsolved. Today, with Automation Anywhere Enterprise RPA and IQ Bot solutions, 20% of the company’s order to cash volume is automated from start to finish. Depending on order volumes, the company seamlessly scales the number of bots on-demand to ensure customer orders are processed efficiently and on time throughout the year.

Powering more core business processes with intelligent automation.

The company plans to automate 50% of the order to cash process over the next four months. Now that they have the IQ Bot infrastructure created, the leadership team has requested automations in corporate tax, procure to pay, revenue accounting, and in enterprise reporting. Specific processes have already been identified, and the automation pipeline is growing. Now, the company’s Automation Center of Excellence is focused on scaling their team, dramatically increasing the depth and breadth of processes automated with IQ Bot and continuing to build on their existing success.
