Challenge

Thomas Miller found that the nature of their business meant that it processes a relatively small number of high-value transactions. This “low-volume, high-value” model led the company to think differently about how automation software would deliver benefits within its operations.

Deploying Blue Prism Cloud 

As Thomas Miller began to investigate how intelligent automation could be brought into the business, it became particularly important to find a way of introducing this technology without having to implement any new IT infrastructure or be dependent on bringing in a lot of expensive, new programming skills into the business. The company chose to deploy the SS&C | Blue Prism Cloud SaaS platform to give them agility and flexibility. 

Solution

Successes in the first year of implementation have been spread across a range of areas. 

One area where automation has helped deliver operational improvements is within the fleet transfer process. This was an extremely manual and time consuming task. For some of the larger fleet transfers, there were thousands of individual transactions that needed to be completed, with each transaction taking 5-10 minutes each.

By deploying digital workers, the work was completed accurately within a matter of days and saved the team three weeks’ worth of staff hours. Moving forward, digital workers will be able to deal with similar fleet issues on demand, and keep all records up to date.
