Juno, out of curiosity, what does an accountant DO? What does it mean to be one? Because I know there's math involved. I've heard it's very boring. But I don't know anything else and I'm curious because you're very good at putting things to words.

Okay first of all, I cannot express just how excited I got when I first saw this message. There is nothing I love more than talking about things I know about, and usually when my career is mentioned I don't get questions so much as immediate "Oh, bless you" and "I could never"s. Which- totally fair! For some people, accounting would be boring as all hell! But for a multitude of reasons, I adore it.

There are multiple types of accounting. The type most people tend to be more familiar with is that done by CPAs- CPAs, or Certified Public Accountants, are those that have done the lengthy and expensive process to be certified to handle other peoples' tax documents and submit taxes in their name, amongst other things. Yawn, taxes, right? Well, the thing with that is that there's a lot of little loopholes that tax accountants have to remain familiar with, because saving their clients a little more here or getting a little more back there can really add up, and can do a lot for people who, say, have enough money to afford to hire someone to do their taxes but not necessarily enough to be going hog wild with. Public accountants can work for large firms or by themselves, and also do things like preparing financial statements for businesses, auditing businesses to ensure all of their financial transactions are true and accurately reported to shareholders and clients, and consulting on how finances can be managed to maximize revenue (money in - money out = revenue, in very simple terms).

The type of accounting I do is private accounting! That basically just means that I work for a company in their in-house accounting/finance department. Private accounting tends to get split up into several different areas. My company has Payroll, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable.

Payroll handles everyone's paychecks, PTO, ensuring the correct amount of taxes are withheld from individuals per their desires, and so on. Accounts Receivable handles money flow into the company- so when our company sells the product/service, our Accounts Receivable people are the ones who review the work, create the invoices, send the invoices to the clients, remind clients about overdue invoices, receive incoming payments via ACH (Automatic Clearing House- direct bank-to-bank deposits), Wire (Usually used for international transactions), or Check, and prepare statements that show how much revenue we are expected to gain in a period of time, or have gained in a period of time. This requires a lot of interfacing with clients and project managers.

My department is Accounts Payable. Accounts Payable does basically the other side of the coin from what Accounts Receivable does. We work mostly with vendors and our purchasing/receiving departments. We receive invoices from people and companies that have sold us products/services we need in order to make our own products/perform our services, enter them into our ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning, a system that integrates the departments in a company together- there are many different ERPs, and most people simply refer to their ERP as "the system" when talking internally to other employees of the same company that they work at, because saying the name of the system is redundant) using a set of codes that automatically places the costs into appropriate groups to be referenced for later financial reports, and run the payment processing to ensure that the vendors are being paid.

To break that down because I know that was a lot of words, here's some things I do in my day-to-day at work:

- Reconciliations, making sure two different statements match up: the most common one is Credit Card reconciliations, ensuring that there are appropriately coded entries in the system that match the payments made on our credit line in our bank.

- Invoice entry: this is basic data entry, for the most part. This can have two different forms, though

- Purchase Order Invoice entry: Invoices that are matched both to the service/product provided from the vendor and the purchase order created by our Purchasing/Receiving department. We ensure that the item, the quantity, and the price all match between our records, the purchase order, and the invoice, before we enter this.

- Hard Coded Invoice entry: Invoices that we enter manually due to there being no Purchase Order for them. This is often recurring services, like cleaning or repairs, that may happen too often or have prices vary too much for Purchase Orders to be practical.

- Cleaning up old purchase orders: sometimes Purchase Orders are put in the system and then never fulfilled. Because this shows on financial statements as being a long-standing open commitment, it looks bad, so we have to periodically research these and find out if the vendor simply didn't send us the invoice, if the order was cancelled, or if something else is going on.

- Forensics! This is my personal favorite part of the job, where someone has massively borked something that is affecting my work, and so I go dig into it, sometimes going back as four or five years in records to find the origin point of the first mistake, and untangling the threads of what happened following that mistake to get us to where we are today. There's an entire field called Forensic Accounting that is basically just doing This but for other companies (it's a subset of auditing, and often is done via the IRS) and that's my dream position to be totally honest. I loooove the dopamine hit i get with solving the mystery and getting praised for doing so faster than anyone else has even begun to realize the problem to start with.

- Balancing Credits/Debits: This is more of a Main Accountant role thing, but the long and short of it is that every business has Assets, Liabilities, and Equity. Liabilities and Equity are what we put into the company/what we owe, and assets are what we have received/what we are owed. Anything that increases Assets or lowers Liabilities or Equity is a Debit. Anything that decreases Assets or raises Liabilities or Equity is a Credit. Every monetary change we process has to include an equal Debit and Credit. This is its own whole lecture, so if you wanna know more about double-entry accounting, let me know, but it's yawnsville for most people.

- Actually cutting checks or initiating bank payments to vendors for amounts we owe them.

- Vendor communication: I'm on the phones and email a lot with vendors who are wondering where their payment is, or why something was short-paid, or if I can change some of their info in our system, and so on and so on. Every job is customer service, unfortunately. I don't love it, but I do a lot less of it in private accounting than I would have to do in public accounting.

- Spreadsheets: I make so many spreadsheets I am a goddamn Excel wizard. I love spreadsheets. This isn't necessarily accounting-specific though, most people in Finance jobs love spreadsheets, or at least use them to make their lives easier. I make them just for fun, because I'm a giant fucking nerd who finds that kind of thing enjoyable lol. So if you ever need a spreadsheet made for anything, hit me up.

As for math, that's a pretty common misconception. While there is math, it is very rarely more complicated than "I paid $3 of the $8 I owe, now I owe $5" for me. There are some formulas you learn in school (Business Administration with a focus in Accounting is what I studied), but they're also pretty standard and rarely include more than like... basic algebra. Which. Thanks @ god because I flunked so hard out of pre-calc in college. I could not have done accounting if it really were all that math heavy.

Aaaand yeah! That's all I've got off the top of my head- if you have any more questions about it, do let me know, I'm happy to ramble on for hours, but I'm cutting it here so I don't start meandering on without direction lol.

[indelen]

This is my reread of the Lockwood and Co. Books, organized by @blue-boxes-magic-and-tea, I'll make a general summary of several chapters and then post bits and pieces that jumped out at me.

Part II, Chapters 7-8:

35 Portland Row is such a perfect home base. An urban Hobbit Hole. Magician’s nephew townhouse. Familiar and homey, yet exiting and unusual. Just the right amount of familiar and unfamiliar things that would appeal to a kid. The tantalizing fantasy of independence mixed with the fear of the outside world that the young target audience first starts to comprehend at that age. The dream of living with your crush and all your friends, eating donuts for breakfast, staying up to all hours of the night, being dashing, running things, having swords, being better at something than the adults who are an arbitrary force you put on a façade and appease and try to get rid of as soon as possible. Your challenge being comprehending mortality, coming to terms that death is a part of life and can happen to anyone around you, even your most loved ones. And your enemy being corrupt adults who run corporations that already traded your future, all your hopes and dreams, all your potential for just a bit more money, prestige, life they desire. It says something that a book for a modern teenager is one about kids just trying to survive in a world adults ruined and how difficult it is to keep a place of your own and your integrity safe and in one piece.

Miscellaneous:

It's sweet that Lockwood sees Portland Row as being not just "his" but belonging to anyone who is part of the agency. This is his home, legally he is the sole owner of it, but he views the house as Lucy's and George's in equal measure because they are part of Lockwood and Co. He opens his home to people not in the manner of a landlord (we don't really ever find out if he charges Geroge or Lucy any rent, I suspect he doesn't although informally they all probably pitch in on maintenance). What I love about Lockwood is he's such a paradox, he's extremely inviting and yet intensely closed off. He both opens his home to friends and craves a family and is also deeply emotionally stunted and detached.

George has lived with Lockwood for only maybe a year or so and the agency has only been registered three months and yet he gives off such intense "Elizabeth from Accounts Payable whose been with the company for twenty years and has weathered every kind of bullshit and is counting down to retirement" vibes like, Sir, how do you sound so 50 at 15?

Lockwood is so funny because one moment he's actually being a good boss and agency head – conducting good interviews, watching for emotional responses, making background checks on potential hires, giving a tour to new employee where he firmly but politely draws boundaries - and then the next moment he's absolutely peacocking to a cute girl like "look, look, I'm also powerful and a big deal!"

I also think it's funny that Lockwood strikes out with Lucy a lot more from the beginning then we realize. Lucy is traumatized, emotionally immature and has not been socialized properly. Her self-confidence has been worn away by her "prettiness is not your job" mother and having to be the breadwinner for her family so early in life. There are these moments early on where someone more adept at flirting would have picked up on Lockwood being a showoff and maybe played with it, but bless her she's 13 going on 14 here, literally no one can flirt at that age so she's just incapable of seeing what is going on or give it any time of day. It's no wonder that it takes them literal years to get anywhere.

Also, who let Lockwood keep that watch? no one right? He stole it. He told the cops there's a shitload of death glows in a garden and they probably brought him along to raid the home of a serial killer to help look evidence or whatever and there was a watch lying around and Lockwood was like “ooooooh for my murder scrapbook!” and swiped it.

The mention of an uncle early on is such a clever thing because it’s relevant to the plot during the interview to show how sensitive Lucy really is, but it’s also a red herring. When George mentions Lockwood losing his parents young and him being “in care” of some relative, the reader immediately thinks "ah yes, that must have been that nice uncle!" It lets us assume that whatever mystery there is about the room it must be about his parents. It's why the reveal at the end of Whispering Skull is such a surprise and shows just how little we know about him.

Yea she's gone.

It took less than a week for her to go from describing Lockwood as looking like "a priest on a toilet" to this teenage horniness. My disaster crush in Gr.7 had about the same trajectory. Also reminds me of Mei's completely realistically portrayed crush on Some Convenience Store Guy in "Turning Red". Flips on like a switch and before you know it, you're doodling the most mortifying thing ever conceived my man. 13 is such a cursed age, my god.

I’ve mentioned this before in a post, but Lucy lashes out at people for things she hates about herself. Her internal gripes about Geroge are not that he’s rude (even though he definitely is to her) she’s not mean about him being objectively less Talented then her, she’s never makes fun of him for being smarter or better educated than she is. Lucy can handle outright hostility pretty well and she’s not self-conscious about her talent or lack of education. But she is, I think, deeply insecure about her appearance. And like so many girls her age it’s the chink in her armor she knows to hide and wallpaper over with dismissal and disdain. She pretends she doesn’t care but she does, and the more her feelings for Lockwood grow the more it shows in how she talks about herself and how she talks about others.

Sometimes you’re reading a book and oooh there’s a romance subplot and A falls for B (often instead of C or D) and you think … but why? why is A in love with B actually? What is it about them that makes the attraction click? But with Lucy it’s so obvious why she is almost immediately taken with Lockwood, but also why she doesn’t realize it. From Lucy’s POV, for all his flaws Lockwood is the opposite of what Jacobs was. He enters with the teams and he’s the last to leave (he even jumps out the burning building last). She doesn’t feel alone and unsupported. He takes accountability for any error on the case, easily and without any shifting of blame. Sure he’s vainglorious and a bit irresponsible and impulsive and all that. He’s 14-15 at most - that’s normal enough and she’s a kid like him, she gets it. But Lockwood is also a kid burdened with a lot of responsibly and I think Lucy is in a unique position to appreciate this and admire him for taking it on as he does. And that admiration neatly tricks her into thinking that’s all there is to her feelings for a long, long time because she can’t tell her feels apart worth a damn.

I’m going to start a Lucy describes Lockwood’s smile count: 6

Enhancing Manufacturing Excellence: 6 Key Benefits of SAP Business One

Staying ahead of the competition requires more than just producing high-quality products. It demands efficient operations, streamlined supply chains, and real-time decision-making capabilities. This is where SAP Business One, a robust Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, steps in to transform the manufacturing sector. In this blog, we will explore six significant benefits that SAP Business One brings to manufacturers of all sizes, from small businesses to mid-sized enterprises.

Better Visibility

One of the primary challenges in manufacturing is maintaining visibility into the complex web of supply chains, operations, and inventory resources. SAP manufacturing software addresses this challenge by providing enhanced visibility through seamless integration with shipping logistics and supply chains. This integration empowers manufacturers with real-time data, enabling them to make well-informed decisions promptly.

Furthermore, the platform offers customized and interactive dashboards that offer a 360-degree view of the entire manufacturing process. This flexibility in analysis and insights allows manufacturers to adapt swiftly to changing customer demands and meet stringent deadlines.

Improved Productivity

SAP manufacturing software incorporates Material Requirements Planning (MRP) functionality, which replaces outdated production scheduling methods with a structured, multilevel production process. MRP also facilitates resource planning for machine maintenance, leading to overall productivity improvements.

Additionally, the MRP wizard streamlines material procurement and production planning, significantly reducing pre-production lead times. This efficiency boost directly contributes to enhanced productivity and better resource utilization.

Cost Control

Cost control is a paramount concern for manufacturing companies. SAP manufacturing software offers a solution by optimizing daily operations, reducing waste, and simplifying processes. Informed decision-making, enabled by SAP manufacturing software, aids in identifying cost-saving opportunities and increasing overall business profitability.

Working Capital Management

Managing working capital is essential for the day-to-day operations of manufacturing companies. SAP manufacturing software offers a comprehensive suite of modules and capabilities that help in managing working capital effectively. This includes overseeing accounts receivables, accounts payables, cash flow, liquidity, and inventory planning.

Customized purchasing reports provide real-time insights into working capital challenges, replacing the traditional year-end or month-end reports. This level of control from SAP services allows manufacturers to make proactive decisions, ensuring the stability of their operations.

Inventory Management

Effective inventory management is critical for manufacturing success. SAP Business One equips manufacturers with advanced warehouse tracking features and real-time stock reports. These features help document stock levels and monitor stock transfers between warehouses, ensuring a lean inventory management approach.

The ERP solution strikes an ideal balance between inventory stock and production capacities, facilitating on-time product deliveries, efficient inventory cost management, and meeting customer demands effectively.

Regulatory Compliance

Manufacturers must adhere to industry regulations at every stage of the manufacturing process, from procurement to final product delivery. SAP Business One plays a crucial role in improving regulatory compliance by integrating these standards into its operations seamlessly.

Furthermore, the platform empowers manufacturers to embed quality control into their manufacturing processes, providing insights into vendor performance and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Conclusion

SAP system emerges as a powerful ally, offering a wide array of benefits to manufacturers. From improved visibility and productivity to cost control, working capital management, inventory optimization, and regulatory compliance, this ERP solution empowers manufacturing companies to thrive in a competitive environment. By embracing SAP Business One, manufacturers can embark on a journey toward excellence, ensuring they meet customer demands efficiently and maintain a strong position in the market.

It has occurred to me that aside from off-handed tags, vague references, and the occasional poll result that I don’t really share-share stuff about me online.

So allow me to break that streak for a moment to gush about my job:

I am, without being too specific, a Fancy Data Accountant. Let me explain.

I am not a CPA and I did not go to school for this, but I did take a variety of loosely related classes when I was in college. These classes + the slow grind of being An Employee During the Recession + a general thirst for knowledge + good organizational skills = a solid understanding of business fundamentals and a willingness to learn Accounts Receivable (A/R) and Accounts Payable (A/P) without fucking it up.

If any of you younguns don’t know - A/R and A/P are positions that are always in desperate need of smart people willing to learn. If you add to this even a basic knowledge of General Ledger accounting then congratulations you are 95% more competent than most of the people currently doing that job. The reason for this being that for small businesses, it’s usually a filler job. It’s usually passed on to like, whoever seems to have the most time leftover to do it.

Receptionists and owner’s wives. Lots of times it’s those people. And lots of times, they do not want to being doing that job either.

And since accountants tend to want to actually make good money and pay off their degrees, they also do not want those jobs! They’re mostly decently paying jobs, higher than entry level for sure, but they’re not CPA-paying jobs.

So there ends up being a knowledge gap between the people who are inputting all the financial data and the actual accountants who really really would prefer it if the data was better organized. Accountant and Tax Prep people, in fact, tend to need this so much that they sometimes hire people to work for them internally who can help business owners pretty things up so the data is fucking usable.

Enter me.

So I bounce around for a bit doing my thing - which is Easy, it’s so Easy that the only challenge I get is coming into a Messed Up set of books and fixing it. But then at a certain point…they are fixed. So what now?

Well my what now was ‘you know, this business (that I was working for at the time) has a stupid amount of manual input data. Not only that, but the data that’s being input is only a fraction of what we could be using to analyze and make decisions, and that’s because the industry relies on third party software for its A/R but a completely different software for its A/P. Since the two don’t talk to each other, we’re stuck relying on truncated reports out of our A/R that are somehow both watered down and crowded with unnecessary noise. No bueno!’

So bored little me signed up for a free library class on coding. I’m kind of shit at it, but that’s okay because that was the first time in my life I actually understood what syntax was in programming.

By the end of the class what I realized was that while I was too lazy to ever properly code something, it didn’t matter. What I really needed to know was:

1) what raw data I had available from System A

2) what the simplest, bare minimum amount of functions / formulas I needed to manipulate that data-

3) -so that I could then package it and download it into System B, preferably with minimal typing!

So that’s what I did. That was my new challenge. When I had a free moment at work - and boy did I find lots of those - I would play around with my little spreadsheets and these clunky programs. There needed to be checks and balances, you see. Whatever the output numbers said had to equal the new input numbers, or the accounting would be off. If Karen down the hall accidentally fat-thumbed in a new product or department, I needed it to 1) not break the formulas, and 2) be easily identified as an anomaly. Whatever happened between export/import needed to be cleaned, checked, and verified for the integrity of both systems.

So that’s what I built. Between doing my job and browsing Reddit at work. I built this whole system that would take this very boring part of my job and make it easy.

And yeah the place I worked for sucked, and I had plenty of issues happening personally, but this I was good at!

And the results kind of made me look like a god, which is always nice. And it got me a raise.

The pay bump was almost worth the mind-numbing boredom of the variety of other tasks I usually had to do to get to the fun bit. Almost.

Then last year in a moment of fed-up-ness I applied for a slew of jobs. Just slinging rezzies into the void on Indeed like a pizza maker flinging ‘za. Mostly for the same positions, just with better perks and pay. I wasn’t hoping for much. One of them called me back. Scheduled an interview. Did the interview. The next morning I had a job offer.

Y’all. I lucked in so fucking hard.

Not only were their books a mess, not only were they running a separate A/R and A/P system PLUS ANOTHER TWO INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC SOFTWARES, but they were actually excited to hear my ideas on how to fix it.

(And they were fucking soluble as all get out, which was a first for me.)

They were so excited, in fact, that it’s gone from being maybe 15% of my job to being about 80-90% of my job to just slowly fix and maintain everything they’ve got going on. Why the investment on their side? Because they’re looking to enter a potential partnership with X-number of other companies, all of whom have messy books that I could potentially end up fixing. Also the company has just started to open up a new location. Also the main owners are looking to start X-number of ancillary companies spinning out of the current one. All of these companies, of course, will have slews of data that need analyzed, with multiple Point-of-Sales systems that need to talk to each other, and good gosh golly, they know just the kind of person who likes to do that kind of shit now don’t they?

Then there’s little old me, sitting at my computer with my chunky spreadsheets and my limited amount of Visual Basic, somehow producing goddamn magic. Because programmers don’t understand generally accepted accounting practices, and accountants care even less about best data practices and management.

I have somehow waded through mires of bad decisions and late stage capitalism to find myself an oasis. I feel like I have somehow tricked the people around me into paying me good money to let me have fun at work. This in spite of the fact that I know that no one can do or even wants my job. Even AI can’t touch me, because that would require the robot be capable of standing up and asking a room full of otherwise intelligent people ‘what the fuck is this? Why did you enter it this way. Yes, I know it was easier for you and yes it’s technically accurate but you are going to accidentally break the law if we leave it like this Kenneth’

I am a cog, yes; but I am a well-paid cog, who gets to learn and feel challenged and buy ridiculous toys for my cats and fund Patreons now. And books. And sushi. And paints. I even splurged on a gym membership.

And y’all - it’s nice. It’s really really nice. And I really hope it keeps going like this, ‘cause I’m really happy with how things are going.

RPA vs. AI: Choosing the Right Intelligent Automation Solution

Businesses today are under constant pressure to operate faster, more efficiently, and at a lower cost. Automation has become the cornerstone of this transformation, helping companies eliminate manual processes, reduce errors, and scale their operations. Among the many automation tools available, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) stand out as two of the most popular solutions.

Though both technologies fall under the umbrella of intelligent automation, they are fundamentally different in their capabilities, applications, and benefits. For organizations considering automation, understanding the nuances of RPA and AI is critical to making the right investment.

This blog takes a deep dive into RPA, AI, and their use cases, while also guiding you on how to choose the best solution for your business needs.

What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)?

RPA refers to software technology that mimics human actions to perform routine, repetitive, and rule-based tasks. These software bots are programmed to interact with existing applications, such as CRM systems, ERP software, or email platforms, much like a human worker would.

Unlike traditional automation tools that require deep system integrations, RPA is lightweight and non-invasive, meaning it works with your current systems without major changes.

Key Features of RPA

Rule-Based Automation: RPA excels in scenarios where processes follow strict, defined rules, such as data entry or invoice processing.

User-Friendly Design: Many RPA platforms offer low-code or no-code interfaces, allowing business users to design automation workflows with minimal technical expertise.

System Independence: Bots can work across various software platforms without requiring API-based integrations.

Advantages of RPA

Ease of Implementation One of the biggest advantages of RPA is its simplicity. Businesses can deploy RPA bots quickly without needing to overhaul their IT systems. This makes it a low-risk option for companies new to automation.

Cost Savings By automating mundane tasks, companies can reduce the need for manual intervention, cutting down labor costs and reallocating resources to higher-value tasks.

Accuracy and Reliability Unlike humans, RPA bots don’t get tired or make mistakes when performing repetitive tasks. This ensures high accuracy, which is particularly valuable in data-sensitive industries like finance and healthcare.

Scalability RPA is highly scalable, enabling businesses to deploy more bots as the workload increases. This is particularly useful during seasonal peaks or in industries with fluctuating demands.

Use Cases of RPA

RPA is highly effective in automating tasks that involve repetitive, structured workflows. Common examples include:

Accounts Payable: Automating invoice data entry, payment approvals, and reconciliations.

Human Resources: Streamlining tasks like employee onboarding, updating employee records, and payroll management.

IT Support: Automating ticket generation, password resets, and system monitoring.

Customer Support: Automating routine responses, such as order status updates or refund requests.

While RPA offers immense value, it is inherently limited to structured data and predefined rules. When processes require cognitive decision-making, RPA alone isn’t enough.

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that focuses on building systems capable of performing tasks that would normally require human intelligence. This includes learning from data, understanding natural language, recognizing images, and making decisions based on patterns.

Unlike RPA, which follows rigid rules, AI can learn and adapt. This makes it a powerful tool for businesses looking to process unstructured data or gain actionable insights from large datasets.

Key Features of AI

Learning and Adaptation: AI systems use techniques like machine learning to improve their performance over time.

Versatility: AI handles complex tasks such as natural language processing (NLP), image recognition, and predictive analytics.

Unstructured Data Handling: Unlike RPA, AI can process unstructured data, such as emails, social media posts, or audio recordings.

Advantages of AI

Cognitive Capabilities AI enables systems to think, reason, and make decisions, opening the door to automating complex processes that require judgment or problem-solving.

Improvement Over Time AI algorithms learn from data and improve as more information becomes available. For example, a recommendation engine becomes more accurate the longer it’s in use.

Data-Driven Insights AI helps organizations analyze large datasets to uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and support decision-making. This is particularly valuable for industries like healthcare, retail, and finance.

Personalization By analyzing user behavior, AI can deliver personalized customer experiences, such as recommending products or tailoring marketing campaigns.

Use Cases of AI

AI is versatile and can be applied across a wide range of business scenarios, including:

Customer Support: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can handle customer inquiries in real-time, reducing the workload on human agents.

Fraud Detection: AI algorithms analyze transaction patterns to identify suspicious activity in real-time.

Predictive Maintenance: In manufacturing, AI can predict equipment failures based on sensor data, reducing downtime.

Healthcare: AI-powered systems assist in diagnostics, drug discovery, and patient care personalization.

How RPA and AI Work Together

Although RPA and AI are distinct technologies, they complement each other beautifully when combined. Together, they create a comprehensive automation framework known as Hyperautomation.

Why Combine RPA and AI?

End-to-End Automation: RPA handles structured, rule-based processes, while AI deals with unstructured data and decision-making.

Enhanced Capabilities: AI adds cognitive intelligence to RPA, allowing bots to handle complex tasks like sentiment analysis or document interpretation.

Future-Proofing: Combining RPA and AI creates a scalable, future-ready automation ecosystem.

An Example of Combined Use Case

Invoice Processing: AI extracts key information from invoices (even with varying formats) using OCR and NLP. RPA then inputs this data into the accounting system and triggers payment workflows.

How to Choose the Right Automation Solution

Selecting between RPA, AI, or a hybrid approach depends on your business needs. Consider the following factors:

Choose RPA If:

Your processes are rule-based and repetitive.

You deal primarily with structured data.

You’re looking for a quick, cost-effective automation solution.

Choose AI If:

Your processes involve decision-making or unstructured data.

You need insights from data analysis or predictive analytics.

You aim to create adaptive, intelligent workflows.

Combine Both If:

You require automation across diverse processes involving both structured and unstructured data.

You want to future-proof your business with intelligent, scalable automation.

Conclusion

The choice between RPA and AI depends on the specific challenges and goals of your organization. While RPA is an excellent starting point for automating rule-based tasks, AI brings intelligence, adaptability, and innovation to your operations. For many businesses, a combination of RPA and AI delivers the best results, enabling end-to-end process automation.
