Case Study: Elite Clocks achieves fast, accurate inventory updates and $1,500/month savings with Automation Anywhere

Elite Clocks Automates Data Extraction and Online Database Updation

Elite Clocks, an online retailer of premium clocks founded in 1999, struggled to keep its inventory current because staff had to manually extract detailed product data (names, descriptions, SKUs, dimensions, categories) from multiple manufacturers’ websites. Their in-house automation failed, leading to frequent errors, slow updates and significant labor costs.

They implemented Automation Anywhere’s SMART web-extraction to scrape manufacturer sites into Excel/text files and automatically upload formatted data to the online database with scheduling and transformation. The automation cut update time from nearly a week to one day, reduced human errors, saved about $1,500 per month, and allowed the team to focus on growing the business.
