INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
As more companies find their workflows upended by remote work in the pandemic crisis, there are plenty of SaaS startups aiming to sell them
a new path to streamlining processes
The company has raised just over $31 million to date.Their software is a robotic automation and management platform catered toward ops that
integrates with a bunch of data sources and allows customers to set up their own customizations
These customizations can help with routing tasks to the right person, automating follow-ups or moving data between systems
The software is meant to enable nearly endless customizations, but a big focus seems to be on stripping repeatable tasks from the workflows
essentially using its no-code platform to allow the people completing tasks manually to create the automation processes for letting bots
take over
The visual drag-and-drop workflow of creating these processes seems to be a big selling point
New customers can also shop around for functionality via templates added by other customers.RPA has been a hot area in recent years, with
players like Automation Anywhere and UIPath achieving sky-high private valuations
operations teams could give them an inroad, even as they look to scale during uncertain times.
