Experience
Launch of a New Product Line
Automation of Manual Processes
Previously, they took days to weeks and required a person doing time-consuming tasks like printing files, clicking checkboxes, verifying multiple data sources, and so on.
Step by step, these processes were automated until minimum acceptable work was required to keep these operational.
