Client

Because of our agreement and NDA with the client, we can’t disclose the client's name or other details.

The client is one of the largest sugar producers in the world, with an annual production of around 4.8 million tonnes. The company has sugar factories located in many European countries.

The Challenge

The client is a big, multinational sugar production corporation.

There is a massive amount of time-consuming workflows within the organization. Each day, they process enormous amounts of documents and data. To manage their processes, they use industry-standard SAP software.

We were first approached by the partner’s team when they were just starting their SAP automation journey. At this point, they already had a couple of process automations delivered by another RPA vendor. Still, they were not fully satisfied with the outcome and sought an alternative partner.

SAP is a great software to automate with RPA and UiPath, as it has multiple integration options! We used pure user interface automation and scripting, so everything went easily and was quickly achieved without much struggle.

At first, some challenges came from operating on various language versions of SAP, but in most cases, we have selectors that can match the data.
