Process Automatization in the Retail Sector Using UiPath Technology @ Cora Romania

About the project

Cora Romania’s objective was to raise its productivity and increase its employee’s digital experience through automation. With these objectives in mind, it approached Stadler & Partners team and UiPath Romania and for an automation opportunity assessment, followed by the implementation, across three streams: Supply Chain, Finance and Pricing.   

The aim of the assessment was to make a list of at least ten best use cases to automate supported by process documentation and a high-level business case that in the end will be used by Cora Romania as an automation pilot leveraged to speed up the company’s digital transformation. 

About the client

At the time of the project implementation, Cora Romania was operating 11 hypermarkets and 8 Urban Stores in Romania. 

Used technology

The Project Team used UiPath Process Discovery Approach and UiPath Automation Hub to identify automation initiatives by focusing on the following phases for each in scope stream.  

Used approach

After the discovery and evaluation phase, we identified twenty-five automation use– cases in the finance, supply chain & pricing departments.  

Project Results

After evaluating and prioritizing the candidate use cases for automation, together with Cora team we chose 9 processes to automate with the help of UiPath technology (including here the new article listing process).  

The results of the nine processes for automation implementation in Cora using UiPath RPA have led to saving over 15,000 work hours per year, equivalent to around 2,000 person-days. 

Testimonials 

“We needed to list many articles, approx. 20000, in a very short time and that work would have been performed by a human in about 10+ minutes per article listing. By implementing the automation processes with the UiPath platform we managed to reduce that time to 7 minutes per article listing, and also eliminate processing errors. This created considerable time and cost savings for us and helped us complete the article listing in a record time of three days which led to saving the work of three people for a period of five months.

The preparation, design, and implementation of the UiPath RPA (robotic process automation) by Stadler & Partners was very professional and clear. Our needs were understood from the beginning, and we gained/found/had a reliable partner to help us achieve our goals.“
