We can learn a lot about Business Process Automation (BPA) by considering its title. The process involves automating the more routine, time-consuming and tedious processes within your business.

BPA goes beyond traditional data management and records to advanced software systems and programs that integrate all your applications. Automation can permit your company to maintain control over various issues, such as customer relationships, analytics, planning, sales, standardization, and development. Automation can target not only complicated information technology tasks, such as managing your system users and troubleshooting network issues, but also programs like email marketing services.

By offloading statistical, organizational, and data-oriented tasks to intelligent software and computer systems, we take the load off your staff and enable more work to be done in less time. Therefore, BPA enables businesses to minimize costs, increase efficiency and streamline processes.

These days, business automation is everything: it provides alleviation from rigorous, precise, and tedious, manual tasks, ensures your business is running efficiently and accurately, and leaves your staff with better morale. To remain competitive in the modern business world, this relief is simply essential.

Daily business processes involve a lot of moving parts. From email chains, document revisions, and meeting schedules to delivery itineraries, manifests and configuration lists, it’s safe to say hundreds of tiny decisions make a company function on a daily basis.

Business automation tools like SalesChain provide the tools necessary to achieve the hairpin precision each of these tasks required.

For a Business automation system to run properly, it needs a set of defined rules. The system needs to know which tasks it is to perform, and when; It needs to know the specific ways your company combines data in order to provide the most valuable metrics; And, most importantly, it needs a defined workflow customized to the infrastructure of your business’ processes and hierarchy.

A Business Rules Engine is an application with a defined, custom workflow that runs within a business automation system and makes decisions automatically based on preset rules. These decisions usually involve transitioning to a specific path, task or action in a workflow definition, for instance assigning a task to someone or saving a document to a particular folder in a document management system.
