AutoMate Case Studies
Manufacturer Cuts 2 1/2 Hours of Daily ERP Work with AutoMate
For years, an IT staffer at ITW Construction Products had to come to work early every morning to prepare the company's ERP system for the new day. At first, the process of incorporating the previous day's business activities into the ERP database took 30 minutes. As the company grew, the job ballooned to 2-1/2 hours. Rather than continuing to waste valuable time repeating the same tasks day after day, ITW brought AutoMate Professional on board. In a few hours' time, IT managers used the software's automation wizards to trigger, run, and error-check ERP updates on a hands-free basis - slashing over 12 hours off the IT workload every week.
Stryker Finds Rx for Multi-Office Reporting with AutoMate
Every night for several years, the five Latin America offices of Michigan-based medical technology products manufacturer Stryker Corporation were forced to burn the midnight oil to turn their daily financials into a single consolidated report. Each office has its own independent ERP system, so the process required three hours to compile the data for each territory plus another 90 minutes for a financial analyst at division headquarters to merge the five spreadsheets into one document. The upshot: nearly 18 hours of late-night labor that sometimes lasted past 11 pm. In 2004, IT managers at Stryker Latin America eliminated the drudgery by using AutoMate Professional to put each step of the process on automatic pilot - without writing a line of code.

That makes all the difference when it comes to accelerating business process automation and optimization.
