Financial Fallout:
The client ends up saving a colossal $ 65,000 per week, which is a minimum they would have paid for the workforce to do the task.
Saved Time:
A total of 60 Bots were set up to do the task of data extraction and data entry. Who were deployed round the clock without any downtime and with minimal maintenance.
Operational Competence:
The bots that were set up were capable of handling millions of data records as per the pre-required criterias, they were capable of entering the data into database at a much faster rate and greater precision and very little margin of error.

Office Infrastructure Utilization:
The client’s organization saved up 60 people in workforce and the cost of purchasing resources for these people, the cost of these resources was desktop/ laptops , stationary, wages, utility expenses etc.
How we did it
Custom Cloud based Software:
The software was taylor made using Robot Process Automation (RPA) for the client which made sure to propel workflow to perform and deliver.
Automated AI based algorithm:
The algorithm enabled to gather all the relevant data and to deposit on to the clients personal data base.
Custom Reporting
The Custom reporting enabled the management and top executives to monitor, what was working and where the data was collected from.
