Case Studies and Real-World Success Stories
Automating Financial Processes for a Manufacturing Company in Detroit
A Detroit-based manufacturing company approached Kraft to improve their invoicing and payment workflows, which were time-consuming and prone to errors. By implementing an automated invoicing system, we helped the client reduce manual data entry by 80% and eliminate processing delays, resulting in faster payments and better cash flow management.
Streamlining HR Processes for a Healthcare Provider in Ann Arbor
An Ann Arbor healthcare provider needed a solution to automate their employee onboarding process, which involved repetitive paperwork and delays. Kraft implemented a BPA solution using Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to automate background checks, document signing, and task assignments. The result? A 50% reduction in onboarding time and an increase in employee satisfaction.
Boosting Customer Service Efficiency for a Retailer in Lansing
A Lansing retailer faced challenges in managing customer service requests, with a high volume of repetitive queries. Kraft deployed a combination of RPA and Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) to handle common customer inquiries automatically, freeing up customer service representatives to focus on more complex issues. This improved customer satisfaction while reducing response times by 60%.
Common Challenges in Business Process Automation
01Lack of Process Standardization
One of the biggest challenges businesses face when implementing BPA is a lack of process standardization. Without standardized workflows, automation can only replicate inefficiencies rather than improve them. At Kraft, we work with you to standardize your business processes before automating them, ensuring that automation delivers optimal results.
02Resistance to Change
Implementing new technologies often comes with resistance from employees who are used to manual workflows. Kraft’s BPA experts help you manage this transition through employee training and change management strategies, making it easier for your team to adopt automation.
03Data Security and Compliance Concerns
Automating sensitive business processes, such as finance or HR, raises concerns about data security and compliance. Kraft ensures that all BPA solutions are designed with security in mind, integrating encryption and other security measures to keep your data safe while meeting industry standards and regulations.
