Automa Deliverables

Challenge 1

Manual operations across multiple stores, data sources, and systems required significant time for data aggregation.

Solution 1

By leveraging Automa RPA's advanced task scheduling in conjunction with ETL and BI systems, automated data sourcing is achieved: full historical data from multiple stores is standardized and stored in the database, and daily reports are generated automatically without any manual calculation.

Data Reporting Automation
Challenge 2

Large volumes of pre-sales promotional coupons needed to be created, requiring operations staff to work in shifts to respond to customer service requests.

Solution 2

Trigger coupon creation applications via Automa RPA's advanced task scheduling and webhook. Customer service can send discount parameters in the DingTalk group to create coupons automatically, with coupon links returned by the DingTalk bot—greatly freeing up operations staff time.

Coupon Creation Automation
Challenge 3

A large number of national subsidy orders required batch invoicing, with tight deadlines and high risk of manual errors.

Solution 3

Use Automa RPA to operate platforms such as the Alibaba Invoice Platform and in-house ERP, achieving fully automated electronic invoicing.
