Case Study: Sweco achieves major time savings and automation scale with UiPath

Sweco goes from finance automation to robo-botanists in just two years

Sweco, Europe’s leading architecture and engineering consultancy, needed a way to scale automation across a greenfield environment without slowing down highly skilled employees. With UiPath cloud technology, Sweco’s AI and automation leader set out to remove repetitive work from finance, HR, IT, legal, and business teams so architects and engineers could focus on client projects rather than manual administration.

UiPath helped Sweco build a center of excellence and rapidly deploy software robots and intelligent automation across more than 50 production systems. The result was 150 automated processes, 400 manual tasks mined, and 150,000 hours saved in 2.5 years, including major gains like automated onboarding, monthly reporting, and large-scale PDF analysis that identified 4,500 reusable blueprints in just three days.
