Picture this: It’s the late 1990s, and a bank employee is painstakingly entering customer data into a system, one field at a time. The process is slow, error-prone, and monotonous. Fast forward to today, and the same task is performed by a software robot in a fraction of the time, with zero errors. This transformation is the power of Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
According to a report by Gartner, by 2022, 85% of large and very large organizations will have deployed some form of RPA. This shift from manual to automated processes is not just about efficiency; it’s about freeing up the human potential to focus on tasks that require creativity, critical thinking, and personal touch.
In this article, we will dive into the world of RPA through a series of compelling case studies from Kanerika, a leading data and AI consulting software company in the US. These real-world examples will demonstrate how RPA is not just a tool for automation but a catalyst for business transformation.
What is Robotic Process Automation?
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a technology that enables organizations to automate business processes by creating software robots. They are also known as “bots”. These bots can mimic the actions of a human user and are capable of interacting with computer applications and systems.
Benefits of Robotic Process Automation
RPA is making significant strides across various sectors, from streamlining data management in healthcare to accelerating loan approvals in banking. Here are some of the key benefits that RPA brings to the table:
- Increased Efficiency: RPA automates repetitive tasks, freeing up employees to focus on strategic and value-added activities. This shift can lead to a significant increase in overall productivity.
- Improved Accuracy: RPA can minimize errors in data entry and processing, enhancing data quality and reducing the risk of costly mistakes.
- Enhanced Compliance: RPA can automate tasks that require manual intervention, helping to ensure compliance with regulations and reducing the risk of non-compliance.
- Increased Flexibility: RPA can automate tasks that are not easily automated with other technologies. This flexibility allows organizations to be more agile and responsive to change.
- Reduced Costs: RPA can reduce costs by eliminating the need for human intervention in certain tasks. This reduction can lead to significant savings in labor costs.

A flexible RPA workflow was configured for Cloud and on-premises environments, improving process visibility. The company streamlined the overall process flow and utilized RPA tools to boost efficiency and enhance the employee experience.
Data security was maintained through Active Directory (AD) implementation.
Results:
Implementing RPA eliminated manual process delays, resulting in 50% faster onboarding. Improved workflow and data visibility, enhanced coordination and reduced missed deadlines.
Remote onboarding processes were smoother, with an 84% improvement in SLA adherence and a twofold increase in data handling capacity.
Robotic Process Automation Case Study II
Client: A renowned Global Insurance Company.
Challenges:
- Manual insurance claim processes result in financial losses and inefficiencies.
- Absence of a reliable fraud detection system leaving the company vulnerable to fraudulent claims.
- Inflexible processes and human intervention obstruct efficient data analysis and critical detail identification.
Solution:
To overcome these challenges, the company implemented AI/ML-powered Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for fraud detection in insurance claims, significantly reducing fraud-related financial losses.
Leveraging predictive analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and image recognition, the company monitored customer behavior, enhancing customer satisfaction.
AI/ML-driven RPA solutions were introduced for fraud assessment and operational excellence, leading to substantial cost savings.
Results:
Implementing AI/ML-powered RPA led to remarkable improvements in fraud detection for insurance claims. Manual inefficiencies were eliminated, leading to a 20% reduction in claims processing time.
Adopting advanced technologies significantly enhanced customer behavior monitoring and improved overall operational efficiency by 25%. These factors led to a 36% increase in cost savings due to reduced financial losses from fraud.
Robotic Process Automation Case Study III
Client: A prominent IT Solutions Company.
Challenges:
- The HR team was overwhelmed by the excess workload from manual recruiting, leading to delays and inefficiencies.
- Risk of losing qualified candidates from different portals affecting the hiring process and the quality of hires.
- Lack of a centralized data store and easy access hampering decision-making and operational effectiveness.
Solution:
Kanerika implemented end-to-end process automation using UiPath to address these challenges, streamlining candidate screening and enhancing efficiency.
An HR Bot was deployed to receive, filter, and consolidate resumes from various portals, improving candidate management.
This ensured accurate candidate evaluation, correct routing, and efficient candidate handling, ultimately enhancing the quality of hires.
Results:
The RPA-driven recruitment process significantly reduced the HR team’s workload, leading to a 30% increase in conversion rate.
The automated resume-handling process minimized the risk of losing qualified candidates, improving the overall quality of hires through a 46% increase in time-to-hire. This resulted in a 70% reduction in HR workload.
