The task

Faster supplier checks without losing quality

Supplier due diligence used external and internal databases and involved one department, three assets in three countries and five systems: Excel, Word, SharePoint, Microsoft Flow and external databases.

What we did

From interviews to robots

  • More than 20 interviews with heads of master data, legal, finance and IT
  • The as-is process described by blocks, then each block detailed down to key decision points, with inputs, outputs and automation potential for every step
  • Process gaps found and confirmed, with their effect on speed and on the quality of the result
  • A new target process that removes or reduces the gaps
  • The process automated with UiPath robots

Stack

What runs the process

Results
