Network Rail | Fast Track to a Digital RAMS Approval System
Network Rail needed a seamless, digital RAMS approval system to make it quicker and easier to manage and provide visibility and updates to all parties.
Using robotic process automation to free up staff and overcome manual processes
ATS Euromaster, the tyres and vehicle maintenance provider, employs more than 1200 staff, across 260 centres and including mobile technicians. Their IT infrastructure was reliant on multiple legacy systems, with limited interaction between systems. It was reliant on manual processing. Staff were spending too much time copying and pasting – ATS Euromaster wanted to give their staff more productive and fulfilling tasks.
They turned to Liberty RPA, using our robotic process automation technology to allow their software to automate to interact with the Windows desktop instead of a person. It allowed repetitive tasks to be handled by the computer, without human intervention.
“We think about our people doing repeatable, mundane activities – it’s really important that we are able to utilise their time in a much more productive way.”
David Robson
IS/IT Director, ATS Euromaster
ATS Euromaster knew that RPA was better suited to the repeatable, mundane tasks that their staff were currently fulfilling each day. RPA bots don’t get tired, need breaks or make mistakes.
Liberty RPA handling this means that people don’t have to do the repetitive process – offering a big improvement to their work life. ATS Euromaster can utilise the amount of time they have from their people for important work, and that work helps to push the business forward.
The first task that ATS Euromaster automated using Liberty RPA runs up to 200 times a day. That’s 200 times that a person sitting in front of a computer screen had to operate this process. Automating this process means a huge time saving.
ATS Euromaster had a multitude of legacy systems. Many processes involved transferring data into several different systems. Staff were copy and pasting and re-keying, which is repetitive, frustrating and crucially, prone to errors.
Using Liberty RPA, they resolved many layers of processes and years of changes so that they could link up their core systems which keep track of stock.
“Ultimately, we believe in the product. We believe in RPA and, with Netcall’s support, it’s been easier to get going and to bring it to life.”
David Robson
IS/IT Director, ATS Euromaster
As well as bringing together legacy systems and data sources, the cultural adoption of using robots has opened up new approaches. The leadership team has adopted RPA – it’s discussed in meetings across the business. They now reassess what and how they are doing tasks, considering whether there is a better way to achieve this goal. All of this continually contributes to increased efficiency.
