The ‘Automation Revolution’ is currently underway. Logistics companies have started incorporating RPA in logistics into their daily activities to improve their operational efficiencies and supply chain. A report by the World Economic Forum found that the digital transformation of logistics will result in $1.5 trillion worth of value for industry players and $2.4 trillion worth of societal benefits over the next decade.

RPA in Logistics.
We have never been more in need of new ways to increase
supply chain management efficiency than we are today.

2. Welcome To RPA in Logistics
Traditionally, shipping and logistics companies have had to perform back-office tasks manually, such
as updating customer information on portals with the current status and ETA, scheduling a delivery,
and tracking an order. RPA, or Robotic Process Automation, is one technology that may help improve
logistics and supply chain optimization by automating time-consuming, repetitive tasks, such as data
entry and creating faster workflows. The shipping and logistics industry is heavily pressured by
customers and shipping firms that demand higher prices for their service.
The Logistics industry can utilize Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bots to automate such mundane
tasks and reduce costs by increasing operational efficiency, productivity, and efficiency
““It’s a journey into automation maturity that you need to go
through yourself before you can reach the ultimate goal of being a
digital company.”
Jani Rahja, Head of Intelligent Automation,

Shipment Tracking
Well, Using robotic process automation (RPA), logistics can automate tracking vehicles and
shipments. Experts estimate that efficient automatic solutions can replace 15-25 checker
checkpoints and package display locations. Having solutions that work this way is the key to a
consistent workflow that can lead to more or fewer savings than 30% in the deployment phase.
This application enables the logistics company and customers to know the status of their
shipments through tracking synchronization and checking the details of their shipments. Using
RPA in logistics, companies can automate pick-up, reload, and delivery status between any
Transportation Management System (TMS) and external customers.

Order to Cash
Order to cash is a significant concern for accepting and processing customer
sales orders. The challenges and difficulties required to recover money are
errors, low profitability, cost overruns, time lag, order processing, etc.
Robotic Process Automation can automate many aspects of the process. It
can assist in order fulfillment, eliminating and reducing the need for personal
intervention. Enabled bots help customers retrieve required information and
answer their queries in a real-time manner and help to deal with many issues
such as data incompatibility, late payment, and improper handling.

7. Procure to Pay
Procurement is an essential part of Logistics. The procurement phase aims to obtain and comply
with the terms and obtain building materials, goods, or services (usually from external sources).
Proper utilization of automation tools can reduce manual labor and save 20-25% on labor
costs.
It is essential to understand that to reap the benefits of RPA, you need to apply it throughout
the P2P cycle. Functions such as purchase and payment requirements can be fully automated
with the help of RPA in logistics.
