Data entry and processing
Automate routine data entry tasks, such as entering data from paper forms into digital databases, copying data between different IT systems, or updating customer records.
We can help you identify the business processes that are suitable for automation with RPA.
RPA work includes analyzing business processes, developing automation strategies and helping you implement RPA bots.
RPA stands for Robotic Process Automation. It refers to the technology that makes it possible to build, implement and manage processes and workflows.
We can develop customized RPA scripts or bots specifically designed to work with data from Business Central. This allows us to address unique customer-specific needs or industry requirements. The robots can perform a wide range of repetitive and time-consuming tasks with high precision and speed.
RPA technology is often used to automate business processes that require interaction with different IT systems or applications.
Power Automate is part of Microsoft’s Dynamics 365 toolbox. A tool – a platform – that makes it possible to easily build automated workflows.
Using the simple, easy-to-use platform, you can improve, automate and develop smarter ways of working, such as automating heavy manual paper-based processes.
Automated workflows go by many names, but are also known as office robots, RPA (Robotic Process Automation) or robotic process automation.
You can choose to automate parts of a task or entire processes. It just needs to be rule-based and recurring routine workflows.
For example, use RPA / an office robot to replace cumbersome ordering and invoicing procedures, or other slow, manual and paper-based workflows.
RPA can be used for approvals, data collection and integrations – even with 3rd party products/apps.
Where it used to take 3-4 “physical” signatures on a document to approve a case, with Power Automate it can be done much faster because the paper no longer needs to be physically moved from one desk to another.
With Power Automate, an email requesting electronic approval can be sent to all relevant people. Once all approvals are registered, a response is automatically generated and sent. Power Automate can also be set up to automatically send a reminder for an approval if it has not arrived within the deadline.
When companies work with RPA and process automation in connection with Business Central, a number of questions typically arise: Where should we start? Which processes create the most value? And how do we ensure automation delivers real business benefits?
Below, we have gathered answers to some of the questions we most often discuss with customers at Vektus.
1. What is RPA, and how does it work with Business Central?
RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology that automates rule-based and repetitive tasks across systems. In combination with Business Central, RPA can handle tasks such as data entry, updates, approvals, and integrations that would otherwise require manual work. This improves efficiency and reduces the risk of errors in daily operations.
2. Which business processes are best suited for RPA?
RPA is particularly well suited for processes that are repetitive, predictable, and follow clear rules. Typical examples include invoice processing, reconciliations, updating master data, order handling, and approval workflows. The more standardized the process, the greater the potential value of automation.
3. How does Power Automate differ from traditional RPA?
Power Automate is Microsoft’s modern automation platform that combines classic RPA with intelligent workflows and integrations. Instead of only mimicking user actions, Power Automate integrates directly with Business Central and Microsoft 365. This results in more robust, scalable, and future-proof automation solutions.
4. Can RPA automate processes across multiple systems?
Yes, one of the key strengths of RPA and Power Automate is the ability to work across multiple systems. Automation can include Business Central, Excel, email, third-party applications, and legacy systems that are not directly integrated. This makes RPA especially valuable in complex IT landscapes.
5. What benefits do companies typically gain from using RPA?
Companies often experience shorter processing times, fewer manual errors, and reduced operational costs. At the same time, employees are freed from routine tasks and can focus on more value-creating and strategic work. RPA therefore improves both efficiency and quality across business processes.
6. How does Vektus help companies get started with RPA?
At Vektus, we help identify the right processes, define clear process descriptions, and choose the most suitable automation approach. We advise on both RPA and Power Automate and ensure the solution aligns with your Business Central setup and business goals. The focus is on quick wins and building a solid foundation for further automation.
