Supercharge Your Organization With Hyperautomation

Did you know employees may spend an average of 520 hours annually on repetitive tasks that could be automated?¹ Amid the accelerating pace of modern business, this represents a critical opportunity to enhance productivity and reduce inefficiencies. By leveraging advanced technologies like hyperautomation, organizations can help streamline operations, reduce costly errors, and empower employees to focus on high-value activities.

What Is Hyperautomation?

According to Gartner, Inc., hyperautomation takes a disciplined, business-driven approach to identifying, vetting, and automating as many processes as possible.² It leverages advanced technologies³ such as:

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for predictive insights.
Robotic process automation (RPA) for executing repetitive, rule-based tasks with speed and precision.
Business process automation (BPA) for enhancing workflows.
Low-code/no-code platforms to develop scalable automation solutions tailored to organizational needs.

This integrated approach enables businesses to transform how work gets done, helping make operations more accurate, scalable, and efficient with minimal human intervention. When orchestrated effectively, these technologies can help streamline workflows and improve productivity.

Key Benefits

Automation can help increase accuracy, reallocate employees to strategic tasks, support scalability, and offset costs by reducing manual errors and operational inefficiencies.

Accuracy: One of the primary advantages of hyperautomation is its ability to reduce the risk of human errors. By automating repetitive and data-intensive tasks, organizations can help improve accuracy in financial processes and other critical operations.
Reallocation: Automation enables employees to focus on activities that require critical thinking and creativity. By automating mundane tasks, organizations can reallocate human resources to more strategic and value-added activities, helping enhance overall business productivity.
Scalability: As organizations grow, so do workloads. Automation can support this growth by efficiently managing increasing workloads without the need for additional human resources. This capability can help businesses maintain and scale operations efficiently.
Efficiency: Automation drives efficiency by streamlining processes and reducing manual intervention. This can help save time and resources, often providing organizations with a cost-effective solution.

Practical Transformations in Action

Real-world use cases demonstrate the value of embracing automation:

A finance team automates invoice data extraction and categorization, saving weekly hours.
Field inspectors use mobile apps to instantly collect and organize site data, improving reporting accuracy.
Leadership teams rely on automated dashboards for real-time insights, enabling faster, data-driven decisions.

Addressing Critical Challenges

Organizations today face several headwinds that can hinder growth and efficiency, such as high employee turnover, low job satisfaction, and the cost of replacing employees.

The average tenure of employees is 3.9 years.⁴
New employees sometimes quit after about six months.
90% of employees feel more satisfied with their jobs when using technology.⁵
Over half (54%) believe they could save more than five hours a week through automation.⁶

Automating tasks addresses these challenges by allowing employees to focus on more meaningful and engaging work. This may increase job satisfaction and reduce turnover, which in turn may lead to improved organizational stability overall.

Efficiency Gains & Productivity Improvements

The benefits of automation extend beyond employee satisfaction. Organizations can achieve significant efficiency gains by automating high-volume tasks that yield low-value results. As an example, according to CPA Practice Advisor, approximately 72% of finance teams dedicate up to 10 hours per week, or 520 hours annually, to accounts payable tasks that could be automated, such as invoice processing, supplier inquiries, supplier payments execution, PO matching, new supplier registration, and payment reconciliation.⁷ Instead of continuing to complete these tasks manually, businesses can reclaim these hours and redirect efforts toward more productive activities by utilizing hyperautomation.

Furthermore, automation can help improve performance by reducing errors. Research has shown that by automating routine tasks and quality control with AI, organizations can improve efficiency by 30% or greater while reducing costly human errors.⁸ This raises the quality of work and contributes to an improved customer experience.

Return on Investment

The financial case for scaling automation is compelling. Professionals at Forvis Mazars have helped organizations achieve measurable results, including reduced labor costs and faster processing times.
