The term "company-wide process automation" is particularly at home in the fields of automation, digital transformation and Industry 4.0. This involves using software, artificial intelligence or robots to automate recurring tasks and processes throughout the entire company - across all departments.
For example, instead of employees manually checking and posting invoices or regularly transferring data from one table to another, digital systems do this work. This saves time, reduces errors and relieves employees of routine tasks.
An illustrative example: In a manufacturing company, the ordering of raw materials used to take place in such a way that an employee checked the stock levels, reported missing materials to the purchasing department and triggered an order. With company-wide process automation, the system continuously checks the stock levels, automatically reorders and informs the right people if there are any shortages.
Company-wide process automation makes workflows faster, more transparent and more effective. Companies gain more time for important projects and at the same time improve the quality and reliability of their processes.
