Robotic process automation (RPA) uses software robots to automate repetitive and mundane tasks, freeing up employees to focus on more strategic work. RPA improves efficiency by 30-60%, increases business capacity by freeing up 30% of employee time, and enhances customer satisfaction by 57% through faster response times. There are two types of robots - unattended robots that complete back-office work automatically, and attended robots that support employees in their roles. RPA implementations have resulted in higher employee satisfaction, improved decision making, reduced costs, increased speeds of processes, and improved data accuracy.
