RPA+ in action at CPG company: Deductions Management

SITUATION

Deductions management is a very manual and time-consuming process for consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies. A national retail broker who manages this process for many large CPG companies was looking to deploy automation to enhance the client experience and reduce costs.

OUR ROLE

We developed a 3-year automation strategy targeting $7M in annual savings, helped select an RPA platform and conduct a Pilot. We then implemented scalable RPA by automating the first wave of bots and developed demo videos to showcase their capabilities to new and existing clients.

OUR IMPACT

The Company implemented multiple RPA use cases for deduction management and order to cash, with a net recurring benefit of $1M+. We helped identify, evaluate and prioritize 40 RPA use cases that will add more than $5.5M in annual savings. We also guided development of a Center of Excellence and training for multiple employees to be developers and business analysts.
