What is RPA?

Robotic Process Automation

RPA is software that does rule-based computer work the way a person does: it opens applications, reads and enters data, sends e-mails and moves files. You define the steps once, and the robot repeats them accurately, as often as you need.

Why RPA

Faster processes, fewer errors, lower cost

Automating well-defined work saves time and money, and frees your people for the work that needs them.

Fast to deploy

Robots work on top of the systems you already have. There is nothing to replace, so projects go live quickly and cost less.

Around the clock

With the right process, robots run on schedules and triggers day and night, at the same quality every time.

People on higher-value work

Robots take the repetitive part. Your teams handle customers, exceptions and decisions.

How it works

From a manual task to a running robot

Most RPA projects follow five steps. This is how they look in GenRPA.

1

Pick the process

Choose rule-based, repetitive work with clear inputs and a clear result.

2

Design

Draw the steps on the GenStudio canvas from ready-made activities.

3

Point at the screens

Show the robot the fields and buttons; UI Explorer turns them into stable targets.

4

Test

Run it, read the Run Report and fix what Process Analyzer finds before go-live.

5

Run and watch

Robots run on schedules or triggers; GenControlRoom shows every run, queue item and robot.

Capabilities

What a robot can do

In GenRPA these come as ready-made activities: drag them onto the canvas instead of writing code.

Desktop and web applications

Click, type and read in Windows applications, including older Java and Delphi programs, and in Chrome and Edge.

Excel and Office

Read and write Excel workbooks, and work with Word and PowerPoint files.

E-mail

Read, filter and send e-mails, also from Exchange Online.

Databases

Connect to databases securely to read and update data.

Web services

Call REST and SOAP services and connect your systems to each other.

Files and PDF

Read the text of PDF files, work with CSV and zip files, and move files between folders.

No new interfaces needed

Robots use your applications the way people do

RPA works through the same screens your team uses, so it also reaches systems that have no API. In GenRPA v4 you point at an element; GenRPA frames it, names it and builds a target the robot can find again.

  • Windows applications, older Java and Delphi programs, Chrome and Edge.
  • Built-in waits, plus text, fuzzy and image fallbacks when a selector no longer matches.
  • See, edit and test every target in UI Explorer.

Good candidates

Which processes fit RPA best?

The more of these a process ticks, the faster it pays off.

Clear rules

Every decision in the process can be written down as a rule.

High volume

The task repeats often: every day, or many times a day.

Digital input

The data comes from systems, Excel files, forms or e-mails with a known layout.

Stable applications

The screens involved do not change every week.

Error-prone by hand

Copying and typing mistakes cost time, money or customer trust.

Measurable

You can count the time and the errors before and after automation.

Everyone wins

Gains from IT to the customer

When the processes waiting in IT's backlog go live with RPA, every side benefits.

IT

Fewer small integration requests. IT focuses on larger projects and keeps control through one central control room.

Business

Waiting processes go live sooner, manual steps disappear and the business becomes more agile.

Customers

Faster answers, fewer errors and a better experience.
