Business Automation Design & Development

Automating  Business

Business Process Automation (BPA) is a digital transformation process for managing information, data and automating business processes with the aim of reducing costs, maximising resources and investment whilst looking to optimise a business process or processes through technology.

Our Expertise

At DeeperThanBlue our BPA practice specialises in helping organisations combine people, process and technology to improve organisational performance, visibility, product/service quality and agility and to facilitate business innovation.

We approach this by reviewing the ‘as-is’ current business processes, defining the ‘to-be’ future processes and designing the digital automation strategy to get there. We take an incremental approach which quickly serves as a proof point before expanding and rolling out other stages in the process lifecycle.

The Process Lifecycle

The process life cycle spans three steps:

  • Model and Simulate
  • Deploy, Execute, and Change
  • Model, Analyse, Predict, and Act

Case Study

NYK Europe RORO Group – Automating accruals on a global scale

NYK Europe RORO is the global leader in automotive transportation and operates over 100 car carriers across the worlds oceans. It’s vessels are involved in 200 to 250 Voyages per month, with hundreds of calls at ports. A port call involves a number of different operations from tugs, pilots, stevedores, port agents, inspectors all of which accrue costs for the operation.

As a large enterprise, it’s dependent on its business systems providing transactional data for business users to make key decisions and understand the performance of the business.

NYK Europe RORO worked with DeeperThanBlue to implement a solution to handle the creation and maintenance of accruals related to these activities in ports around the world. This allowed for timely reporting to the company’s management in Japan and improved compliance.

Case Study

Greencore Group – Real-time production line insight

Greencore wanted to develop a unified way of viewing their real-time data from production line processes to allow them to act fast when daily targets were not being met.

The Single Page Application DeeperThanBlue developed allows them to cycle through a collection of intuitive screens, letting floor managers easily see which processes require attention. Deployed using the latest Docker-based container technology, the application is visible to staff via LCD screens and floor managers via a portable tablet view.
