Embrace robotic process automation (RPA) in supply chain management to build a resilient supply chain process and infrastructure without making a major IT investment. RPA allows complete process automation and integration to better handle logistics, lower costs and increase operational efficiency.
There are several use cases of RPA in supply chain management. Here are the eight most common processes that can be automated with a bot:
Better manage inventory for ensuring optimal volumes while tracking data as it moves from receiving, shelves to production and shipping.
Develop accurate forecast by allowing software bots to prepare data and identify trends in customer purchasing activity.
Use automated criteria like quantity, frequency of purchase, pricing to run purchase orders.
RPA brings efficiency into freight management tasks and improves different aspects of freight management, like route optimization and freight accounting.
RPA improves resolution time as well as decreases human intervention and the chances of errors while processing refunds and returns.
RPA in supply chain helps process invoice documents and expedites tasks like extracting information from documents and validating and verifying it.
RPA bots regularly search for change in pricing data of specified material to make pricing comparison easy and effective.
Allow bots to hand data entry and migration, including entering invoice data, validating and monitoring it.
Companies invest millions of dollars in setting up their supply chain processes and infrastructure, but still struggle to maximize its efficiency. That is why automation frontrunners in the logistics and supply chain management are investing in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to enhance their process and reduce costs without investing heavily in IT or hiring more people. In this webinar, we discussed some applications of RPA in supply chain and multiple benefits, including increasing order quantity and fulfillment accuracy as well as reduction in shipping delays.
