Simply Automate

: Hand-Holding Businesses throughout their RPA Journey

Wilton Rogers III, Founder and CEO

Every business seeking to streamline processes, boost productivity, and stay competitive is investing in digital transformation projects. At the core of this endeavor is the prowess of robotic process automation (RPA). RPA empowers businesses to be agile and flexible, enabling them to unlock process accuracy, cost-efficiency, and improved customer satisfaction.

But why is succeeding in RPA implementations an elusive goal for most companies? Lack of in-depth understanding of the technology, and RPA implementation expertise can result in skepticism, delays, and failures.

This is where Simply Automate comes to the rescue.

As a trusted digital transformation consulting and development partner, Simply Automate brings the RPA initiatives of numerous businesses to fruition. With more than 100 years of combined experience, the company thoroughly analyzes businesses and quickly provides feedback for growth with robust workflow automation strategies.

In an interview, Wilton Rogers III, Founder and CEO of Simply Automate, discusses at length how they combine advanced technologies to automate business processes and ensure accuracy.

Please provide insight into the inception of Simply Automate.

Early on in my career, I realized that while there was no shortage of RPA software vendors on the market, companies that implemented the solutions weren’t educated about the technology. This very situation manifested as an opportunity for me to establish Simply Automate to fill this gap in the market.

By closely working with RPA vendors, learning how they operate and understanding their capabilities, I figured out how they can help clients now and in the future and create an impact. Today, we are a leader within the B2B and B2C market, catering to organizations of all sizes. We work with different automation technology platforms and partner with expert RPA vendors who can handle any process that could possibly be automated. Our development team has built a system to be able to service clients and equip them with the resources to automate their workflows efficiently.

Could you shed light on the wide-ranging RPA services you offer?

We serve clients depending on where they are in their RPA journey. Large enterprises that have already implemented RPA solutions often struggle to automate processes in an optimized way and fail to recognize that there is much more that can be automated. Although rich in technical knowledge, they do not have the bandwidth to carry out RPA implementations faster. We help them develop and implement RPA solutions more effectively while providing them with reliable support services to be self-sufficient down the line.

On the other hand, most SMEs and SMBs are ready to embark on their automation projects but lack essential resources, knowledge, or experience. As an educational resource platform, we guide them through their RPA journey. We thoroughly analyze our clients’ processes and challenges and educate them on the RPA best practices accordingly. The expertise of our development team, combined with our capability to educate, enables us to automate processes with speed and efficiency while reducing errors and risks.

We identify a manual process to be automated and create a workflow to compare the process with its automated counterpart, enabling clients to measure ROIs before going into development. Our team then develops an RPA system marked by unsurpassed quality and performance standards. As we work with five RPA vendors, we are familiar with the price models and meet our clients’ needs cost-effectively.

We offer our RPA services through a subscription-based SaaS model, where clients pay per process. Considering the process size, we offer a multi-subscription option that includes everything from design, development, deployment, and monitoring to support and maintenance of the bot.

Could you cite a customer success story that testifies your robust capabilities?

One of our clients, a large grocery store, found it daunting to manage thousands of invoices every day. The client had delegated four full-time and one part-time professional to manually manage, process, and keep track of the invoices, which was a laborious task vulnerable to errors. We stepped in, analyzed their requirements, and defined a strategy to automate the process. We developed a tailor-made RPA process within a 30-day period. After six months, the client was able to relieve invoice management staff by automating the process with a bot and promote those professionals to management or executive positions. Our solution turned out to be a game-changer for them, and their ROI was over a thousand percent.

What, according to you, steers you ahead of the market competition?

What distinguishes us is an advanced blend of extensive experience, deep-rooted knowledge of automation technology platforms, a comprehensive understanding of business processes, information gathering capability, and swiftness in building and deploying RPA processes.

We are renowned in the industry for automating backend processes, leveraging years of experience working on multiple projects. Our success is rooted in lessons learned from failures, and we pass the knowledge on to clients to smoothen their RPA journey.

Do you want to share anything exclusively about the RPA Playbook you authored?

In my conversations with industry experts and non-technical professionals over the years, I realized that there was a gap in understanding RPA and implementing it. I wrote The RPA Playbook to bridge this gap.

Through the Playbook, I support businesses in understanding how to implement RPA and achieve the best results quickly. The Playbook can add tremendous value to companies scrambling with RPA implementation or terminating their RPA journey because they were led down the wrong path. Drawing on my experience, I have tried to bring about a positive transformation in the industry through The RPA Playbook.
