RPA can be used to automated many PC tasks that are normally handled by human.
The following image shows you examples of tasks that can be handled using RPA regardless of the industry you are working in.
Information and Communications Industry (Newspapers & Media)
Automating the task of registering contents of newspaper’s article to a website
In order to publish the contents of newspaper as a web content, the user had been manually registering data, one by one, from newspaper’s database to web content management system. With the implementation of RPA, the user were able to significantly reduce both effort and time needed for this task.
Before Implementation
・The task took both time and effort because itwas handled by manually copying data to the management sysytem daily.
・The staff needed to arrive to work quickly to make sure the content was ready in time.

Information Services Industry
Automating the task of transferring large amount of articles to new website
We automated the task of extracting article data according to predefined conditons and registering it to the client’s new website. The task was completed in a few hours without misses, saving time and effort.
Before Implementation
・Articles would have to be registered one by one to the new site manually, requiring a lot of time and effort.
・The timeline for the process was unclear, because the it was difficult to estimate the time and manpower required due to the large amount of data.
After Implementation
・No manpower needed for the transfer.
・RPA helps speed up the process, making the transition process finished in a few days.
Retail Industry
Case 1: Automating the task of aggregating reports and sending them via email
We automated the task of aggregating report from each of the client’s store and emailing the result to the executives. Since the daily and weekly reports were previously done by hand, users now have more time to handle other tasks.
Before Implementation
・The reporting process required users to manually access all of the data, and processing them one-by-one.
・Only few of the employees had the ability to create report, therefore, when they took leave, this task could not be handled properly.
After Implementation
・Less misses since the task is now processed by RPA.
・The task is no longer dependent on certain people, making the process more smooth and effective.
Case 2: Posting product information to a website based on data in and Excel file
We automated the task of registering over hundreds of new product information to the website at the beginning of every month. The task that used to take over a week to finish is now completed in a day, making the process to display new products much smoother.
Before Implementation
・The process had to be done manually by hands, requiring too much manpower.
・Looking for matching images was also tedious, causing delays to the entire process.
After Implementation
・Since the RPA can automatically get the the information from Excel and attach matching images, this tasks no longer requires staffs to complete.
・It takes much less time to publish product information, making the process smooth and quick.
Case 3: Automating task of issuing invoices from a payment platform
We automated the task of issuing invoices from a payment platform, and printing them out. The task was getting overwhelming because of the increasing amount of invoices that need to be issued. Now that RPA handles the task, people can use their manpower on other tasks instead.
Before Implementation
・Staffs used to have to download and print over hundred of invoices manually every month.
・There were concerns about shortage of manpower due to the increasing number of invoices being issued.
After Implementation
・This task no longer requires manpower because RPA handles everything from invoices issuing to printing.
・It takes much less time to issue all the invoices.
Real Estate Industry
Automating the task of collecting data from rental properties listing site
We automated the task of collecting information of rental property that matches conditions from websites, and collecting them in an Excel file. Due to the large amount of information, this task used to require an employee dedicated to manually transferring the data every month. With RPA, no manpower is needed for the job.
Before Implementation
・A staff needed to manually copied data from websites manually, one-by-one.
・Since there could be more than ten thousands of new rental property’s information to gather, a staff had to be assigned to dedicate their time on this task.
After Implementation
・Collecting information is done simply by executing the RPA. No more need for a dedicated member for this job.
・Credibility of the information has increased because there are no more human error.
