Automation that drives change in day-to-day corporate life

A split image: on the left a modern BBVA banking center with screens showing automated processes and a statistic of 80% less processing time; on the right an efficient Walmart warehouse with robots and employees replenishing the stock.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is revolutionizing the way leading companies operate by freeing human resources from routine tasks to focus on strategic activities. Recent examples show that responsiveness, accuracy and business efficiency have improved significantly.

 

Noteworthy cases that attract attention  

BBVA achieved an 80% decrease in processing times by automating verifications, reconciliations and requests, which improved efficiency without compromising accuracy. In another area, Walmart refined its supply chain to improve the customer experience. It did so by reducing errors and speeding inventory replenishment.

Evidence that generates deep interest  

Telefónica implemented Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in billing and customer inquiry handling, deploying bots that automate repetitive tasks and validate data to reduce manual intervention.

  • The adoption of RPA improved the accuracy of billing processes by minimizing human errors in data capture and reconciliation, as well as generating automated records that facilitate traceability and audits.

  • By automating the classification and routing of queries, Telefónica significantly reduced response times, enabling faster resolutions, 24/7 attention to routine tasks and less congestion in support channels.

  • These operational improvements resulted in better service quality and stronger customer relationships, thanks to more consistent deliveries, compliance with service level agreements (SLAs), and a greater perception of reliability on the part of users.

  • Overall, the cases show how RPA modifies fundamental processes, standardizing flows, enabling scalability, freeing personnel for higher-value activities and generating specific results such as reduced operating costs, increased compliance and improved customer satisfaction.

Drive towards strategic adoption  

These examples motivate other entities to implement RPA with a strategic perspective. By showing concrete results - such as efficiency improvements, error reduction and faster response times - they facilitate the planned adoption of automations aligned with business objectives and digital transformation.

  • Operational optimization: RPA automates repetitive and error-prone processes, resulting in reduced costs, lower failure rates and shorter execution times, freeing up resources for higher value activities.

  • Tackling complex jobs: In addition to simple tasks, modern RPA solutions can integrate with legacy systems and, combined with AI, handle more difficult and variable processes, such as reconciliations, validations and data mining.

  • Rapid market responses: By accelerating key processes (onboarding, billing, customer service), RPA improves operational agility and enables faster reaction to changes in demand or regulatory conditions.

  • Strengthening competitiveness and sustainability: Implemented with governance and metrics, RPA not only increases competitiveness (better service, shorter delivery time) but also favors sustainable transformation by fostering continuous improvement, regulatory compliance and the strategic use of human talent.

 

RPA is no longer a stand-alone solution, but a catalyst for business value. Examples such as these reveal that intelligent automation not only reduces time and errors, but also transforms the role of humans into more meaningful activities. The next step is to incorporate RPA into an ongoing innovation strategy.
