Import data from CSV with ease

The central focus of every business is the customer. The more customers your business attracts and retains, the more it will increase its revenues. In turn, this means the business is likely to grow. However, growth is advantageous only in the case of its sustainability. In order to be able to focus on planning and studying customer behavior, you need to invest more funds or optimize internal processes. And this is where automation solutions step in. As they manage and control internal processes with less investment, you now have the liberty to reinvest your time and effort into more valuable goals and decision-making tasks.

This optimization is made possible by configurable software robots called Bots. For example, the Pre-fill from CSV file Bot can import data from CSV files to any document and form. Let’s say your Procurement Unit is busy with shortlisting a tender for vendors. However, it’s now time for them to start making regular monthly stationery orders to the office. Employee orders are kept in a CSV file but with a workflow automation Bot, this process will take minutes instead of hours or even days. Bot setup takes no more than 5-10 minutes and once finished, you’ll get a form filled from CSV files automatically. Departments spanning marketing, sales, accounting, customer support, and HR can optimize their workflows when they fill form from CSV automatically.

No third party software is required. No need to waste time on recurring, repetitive tasks that distract your team from things that really count for your business. No matter how complex your workflow is, no-code automation Bots will help you simplify at every stage: from transferring data between documents and CRMs to notifications and archiving.

Consider the advantages of using robotic automation:

  • Improves results, not just another process
  • Reduces time taken to fulfill tasks
  • Connects systems and data sources
  • Generates documents in a snap
  • Keeps work moving while you’re offline
