Case Study: Kemira achieves 20,000 hours saved annually and faster business response with Tungsten Automation

Kemira Frees Up Tens of Thousands of Hours Annually for Shared Services Teams With Kofax RPA

Kemira, a global chemicals company serving water‑intensive industries, faced rising volumes of routine administrative and finance work across its shared services centers. Manual data entry, reporting and quality checks were eating into staff time, limiting the company’s ability to scale operations without increasing costs or sacrificing service quality.

Kemira selected Kofax RPA, trained 20 process experts and rapidly deployed robots (four in the first month) that integrate with SAP and other systems to automate repetitive tasks and update records automatically. The automation freed up around 20,000 hours annually, improved speed and data quality, reduced errors, and let teams focus on higher‑value work while enabling the business to handle growing workloads without extra headcount.
