2. Reducing costs and increasing efficiency
Automating tedious and repetitive tasks? That could save you a lot of time and money! And with the help of AI, that's now perfectly possible. By eliminating certain manual work, you can not only reduce human errors, but you also ensure that your colleagues can focus on other, more meaningful tasks. And that way, they'll get more satisfaction out of their job.
For example, a major player in logistics is using AI to speed up their transportation administration. Wonder how that works?
Logistics company generates error-free transport documents
“To transport our goods, we encounter thousands of essential transport documentation every single day. In the past, our colleagues had to manually extract the necessary information”, says their Business Analyst. Not only did this take up an enormous amount of time, but it was also extremely susceptible to errors.“ Our drivers would sometimes get the wrong documents, resulting in administrative fines from customs.” So, how did they solve that? With AI, of course!
With proper prompting and a customized PowerAutomate process, they can now automatically analyze those documents, put them into a consistent format and import them into their management systems. “Our validation showed that our AI model is 98% accurate. And that it only takes 2 minutes per document. A lot faster and way more accurate than when you'd have to do it manually.”
