Enter Payroll Sorted
A Payroll Bureau specialising in processing smaller payrolls with a highly systematic way of getting work done. But! Even with state-of-the-art software, systems and business processes that McKinsey could learn from, there were still many checks, clicks, emails and reports, all based on rules being followed for individual employers and employees. In relentless pursuit of excellence and efficiency, Payroll Sorted had made vast chunks of processing small payrolls into ‘robot work’.
Results
- Payroll Sorted is a fast-growing business, they have been able to scale up more quickly and cost-effectively than would have otherwise been possible.
- RPA “comes for tasks, not jobs”. A lot of the boring work is off the humans’ desks.
- Uneven workloads are easier to manage.
- Increasing efficiencies have led to better price stability for Payroll Sorted’s partner Accountants than would have otherwise been possible in an environment of rising prices and wages.
A single Bot, fully managed by Valenta, costs about the same as the monthly wage bill of a person. But a single Bot has the productivity potential of up to 20 humans. There are hindrances to achieving that, such as concurrency of tasks, having enough ‘robot work’ for the Bot to do, and availability of the work to be done. If there is enough “robot work” in a business to keep one human busy, there is usually a pretty strong business case to get a Bot on the team and move the human onto interesting/higher-value work.
Client Testimonial
“We’re super happy with how things have turned out working with Valenta’s bots at Payroll Sorted. It’s been a game-changer, making our payroll processing smoother and letting our team focus on the stuff that needs a human touch. Having bots take care of the repetitive tasks has been a big win for us. Working with Valenta has been awesome, and we’re excited to keep pushing the boundaries of what we can do together. Here’s to more innovation and growth!”
