Case Study: Food and Beverage Company achieves 300% efficiency gains and 100% error reduction with Automation Anywhere

Bridge to Digital Transformation The company thinks big, starts small, learns fast, and scales quickly to succeed with RPA

A global food-and-beverage company, after outsourcing its accounts-payable operation, needed to cut errors, boost efficiency and redeploy skilled staff into higher-value customer-facing roles. To find the right opportunities it ran a “digital innovation” and a “transformational roadmap” workshop to identify routine procure-to-pay tasks and rethink end-to-end processes rather than automating piecemeal.

The company selected Automation Anywhere RPA and automated invoice processing, help desk, financial reporting, order management and receivables. The first end-to-end invoice process was live in under six months, driving a 300% efficiency gain, eliminating errors entirely, and freeing 25 full-time employees for value-added work; the program has been expanded enterprise-wide with a target to automate half of corporate financial processes.
