It also helps to keep things in compliance, which is so needed for any human resources personnel. I use Winshuttle to do mass data uploads in SAP.

We have been using Wnshuttle for SAP Process Automation in different Departments including Finance, Logistics, Customer care among others. We use it for bstch input operations. It helps also with data quality control and avoids the development of customized Z Programs to keep using the standard SAP Transactions which ultimately eases SAP system upgrades.
Pros
Batch input operations
Generates a detailed report of the records updated
Robot Process Automation
Cons
Limited functionality for some SAP transactions involving data grids.
Works only for SAP Gui Client, not for SAP web UI like SAP CRM.
Could offer concurrent licenses
Likelihood to Recommend
It is easy to use. No technical backgroud required. Works extremely well in SAP GUi environments. Need to improve capabilities in scenarios involving data grids. Also it has a opportunity to address scenarios in SAP web Applications such as SAP CRM. The license is named user based which is cost effective challenging. Maybe a concurrent based model would be more attractive.
Winshuttle is currently used across the organization by business folks, governance teams, IT Master Data Teams, and corporate finance organizations to address day to day. It helps automate key time consuming, complex, and repeated tasks for business, for example, uploading monstrous journal entries in predefined templates, change volumes of asset information, transactional Data Migration by IT during Cut-over activities, etc. with much ease and absolutely no coding.
Pros
Winshuttle is great for automating manual activities, which are time-consuming and tedious, providing the users the ability to enter complex transactions very simplistically.
Winshuttle helps optimize, streamline, and automate ERP data operations with no coding requirements, which helps provide the business users the flexibility they need at their fingertips.
It's great for critical data cut-over activities for loading open balances for example in balance sheet items, for loading assets, etc, which could be quite time consuming and in general error-prone when not done accurately.
Cons
The use of Winshuttle is particularly helpful with systems where data volumes are always very high. If data volumes are not an issue, the use of Winshuttle for cut-over activities might not result in a significant perceivable difference in time savings.
For businesses and sectors that rely on business processes that are complex and tedious with a lot of manual interventions, Winshuttle comes in real handy. However, in situations of fairly straightforward business cases, it would be hard to see perceivable gains from the use of Winshuttle.
At times, the use of complex business process with multiple fields from one transaction needs to be fed into the next for further processing, if the screen sequence changes based on each set of information, the processing could fail. However, these could be overcome by grouping similar screened transactions into one chunk and others into another.
Likelihood to Recommend
Winshuttle is well suited for situations involving complex end-to-end business processes that involve repetitive tasks that end up taking time and effort. Also, it works particularly well in situations involving large volumes of information processing for cut-over activities for example, or for maintaining and changing on a mass scale for a large number of records. In situations where volume and complexity are not barriers, the use of Winshuttle is not as appropriate, perhaps.

We are using Winshuttle across the whole organization. We have optimized many processes in SAP MM, SD, FI, PM. Winshuttle is helping us with all master data upgrades/changes, customer/provider creations, invoice accounting, etc. We reached a 50% time savings in all processes. All Winshuttle users are very happy because we improved processes and made them better and simple.
Pros
Thanks to Winshuttle we could optimize our expense reports process. In the past we needed 3 accounting analysts and 3 days to process all expense reports created. So we always were delayed. With Winshuttle, all expense reports are processed in half a day and byjust 1 accounting analyst.
We implemented a creative development combining Winshuttle Query and Excel Macros. Winshuttle Query reads all Entry Sheets from SAP and puts the information in a Excel sheet. Then a Excel Macro process the information, groups it and send a email with a PDF per provider with all information about entry sheets. Now our providers know exactly what services and materials they have sold us and they can create the invoice without errors.
All materials text upgrades in differents languagues were optimized thanks to Winshuttle. We have almost 200 text materials changes per day and now with Winshuttle the job is done in 10 minutes.
