NFI Group, a transportation industry leader, streamlined operations and reduced manual processes in just a few months after developing and deploying Oracle EBS automations.
Industry: Manufacturing
Product: Auraplayer RPA
Oracle System: Oracle EBS
Business Need
NFI first implemented robotic process automation (RPA) in 2023 following COVID-19’s disruptive impact on the manufacturing industry. Prior to COVID-19, supply chain operations were reasonably stable; however, the pandemic produced significant fluctuations in the pricing and availability of parts, requiring NFI employees to spend hundreds of hours manually updating, validating, and approving data in order to maintain their records.
NFI turned to RPA as an innovative way to reduce manual, time-consuming tasks and boost efficiency and productivity throughout the organization. NFI searched for an RPA tool that was compatible with its customized Oracle EBS backend and could ensure stable automation playback. They also sought a tool that would make it easy enough for their business analysts to build automations alongside their other responsibilities, so as not to require additional budget for resources and headcount.
“Using AuraPlayer to automate Oracle EBS processes is fast and easy. The ease of the tool and the speed of development to production makes AuraPlayer the right choice for automating EBS workflows.”
