Business process automation is a process to technologize a business process by leveraging certain information technologies that enable the ability of the processors and machines to work on their own and make decisions about the after works and the outcomes. It is a cost-effective way to streamline a business process of an organization. The business process often gets automated to make the human labors focus on the other high-level tasks by making them free up from certain repetitive tasks. Certain parts in the business process often get automated, i.e., marketing, recruitment, sales, and most importantly customer services. The most popular application of business process automation is the use of Chatbots in customer service. The technologies behind the Business Process Automation are Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Advanced Analytics, and Natural Language Processing. Both Machine Learning and Deep Learning help the machines to learn from the data and previous experiences while the Natural Language Processing helps them to understand the language of the human instructions and the machines can make decisions with the complex algorithms and analytics of Artificial Intelligence. Now, since we have discussed the Business Process Automation, let’s move to the part why you should include it in your business process.

Including automation in the business process reduces the cost of hiring people for repetitive tasks, and increases business productivity. Also, human errors can be reduced by including automation in the business process. Because machines work based on the instructions and data that is set to it, so there is very little chance of getting errors.

Using automation in a certain process makes the company always active, as the machines work 24/7 without having any break. The most popular process for including automation is Customer Service. The customer queries can come up at any time of the day and if the company seems unattainable, then there is a good chance of losing customers. But having the process automated makes the organization always attentive and active. The chatbot is the best application of business process automation in customer service.
