RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is a technology that makes it possible to automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks by simulating human actions on computer interfaces. Unlike AI, it does not make decisions: it reproduces processes that have already been defined.

Discover the benefits of an RPA solution to automate your repetitive tasks and improve the efficiency of your business processes.

What is an RPA solution?

An RPA solution is a software tool designed to automate business processes by interacting with applications in the same way as a human user. It uses a visual interface to perform structured tasks such as filling out forms, processing data, or managing emails. These robots follow specific rules and can be deployed quickly without changing the existing IT infrastructure.

How does RPA work?

RPA is based on software robots able to interact with applications as a human user would. These robots can:

  • Access email boxes, extract attachments and archive them.
  • Copy data from an Excel file to a ERP system or CRM.
  • Verify and reconcile invoices with purchase orders.
  • Generate automated reports, error-free and in seconds.
  • Send notifications to collaborators, facilitating internal communication.

RPA is used in numerous sectors to reduce manual work and improve productivity.

What business processes can be automated?

La Strength of RPA lies in its ability to take on tasks regular and structured. It is particularly effective in the following business processes:

Human resources

  • Management of applications : automatic filtering of CVs, sending responses to candidates.
  • Contract generation : creation and digital signature of documents.
  • Updating employee files : compliance of HR information.

Accounting & finance

  • Bank reconciliation : control of transactions and detection of anomalies.
  • Extracting and validating invoices : automatic reading of documents and verification of amounts.
  • Automatic data entry in accounting systems.

Purchasing and procurement

  • Purchase order automation : generation and dispatch without human intervention.
  • Verification of supplier invoices : comparison with the contracts in base.

Logistics

  • Delivery tracking : automatic update of customer statuses and notifications.
  • Creation of labels and transport tickets.
  • Inventory optimization : automated forecasting and replenishment.

With these automations, businesses are improving the quality of operations while reducing costs.

The benefits of an RPA for the business

The integration of an RPA solution can profoundly transform operational processes:

  • Time saver : tasks are completed more quickly than by hand
  • Reducing human errors : the robots scrupulously follow the defined rules
  • 24/7 availability : the processes run continuously without interruption
  • Cost optimization : an RPA costs less than many human hours
  • Better employee experience : teams focus on tasks with higher added value

RPA + OCR: a powerful combination

When RPA is combined with a solution of OCR (optical character recognition) as Koncile, the possibilities are becoming even greater. OCR makes it possible to convert unstructured documents (PDF, images) into usable data. RPA can then take over to integrate this data into your tools (ERP, CRM, etc.).

Concrete example:

  • OCR automatically extracts lines from a supplier invoice
  • The RPA verifies the amounts with the contracts in database
  • If everything is in accordance, the voucher to be paid is automatically validated

How do you get an RPA project off to a good start?

Here are the key steps for a successful RPA integration:

  1. Identify candidate processes : recurring, manual tasks based on simple rules
  2. Measuring potential gain : time saved, errors avoided, costs reduced
  3. Choosing the right tools : a solution that is simple to deploy and compatible with your existing tools
  4. Start with a POC (proof of concept) : validate the relevance on a concrete case
  5. Supporting change : train your teams, involve them in the transition

RPA is no longer a luxury, it is a strategic productivity driver. By combining it with an intelligent OCR like Koncile, you automate your document flows from end to end. Less manual work, more precision, and real operational acceleration.
