Case Study: a leading defence prime achieves faster design efficiency and lower costs with Expleo's RPA

Transforming naval engineering in defence with digital solutions

Expleo helped a leading defence company in the naval engineering sector that was struggling with an overreliance on manual processes. This was slowing down a critical design element for a major project, driving up costs and diverting personnel from higher-value work.

Expleo implemented a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution to streamline the client's design processes. The RPA checked for design consistency across systems, identified discrepancies, and automated approval handovers. This eliminated the need for manual intervention, saving over 40,000 engineering hours, achieving 95% on-time delivery, and creating the potential for £1 million in cost savings.
