- Suppliers send the email with attached invoice on special email ID created for this purpose only
- IBM Robotic Process Automation reads the email attachment with OCR capability and convert that data into our required template

- Speed of invoice reading through OCR can be improved

We have integrated SAP S/4 Hana as well as Google Email system and experience is very good. There is some setup time at the initial stage but post that operations are very smooth and there is very less involvement of human. We can schedule this process at night also which keeps very low load on the SAP system also.
We are having 36 plant across India and 1 person each for suppliers bill passing. We have saved around 7 hours on daily basis for each SAP users. Total hours save is 0.45 million hours on yearly basis approximately. Human error is almost nil because users has to take care of only exceptional cases
Main difference was speed as well as accuracy of data matching. UIPATH was pathetic and not stable. Lot of features were not there. Automation Anywhere was good but we want to go with the best solution available in the market. Based on key parameters, we selected IBM Robotic Process Automation. We are very happy with out decision
