The systems are usually SAP end to end, but the connective work between shop floor, warehouse and finance is where manual effort concentrates: matching a goods receipt to a purchase order, chasing a delivery confirmation, or re-running a SAP regression suite by hand because the automated one hasn't kept up with the last three releases.
Manufacturing
Automation for manufacturers running on SAP
Most manufacturing operations run on SAP, but the handoffs around it don't — production confirmations, goods receipts and shipment data still get re-keyed by hand between the shop floor, logistics and finance. We automate those handoffs and keep SAP regression testing running at release pace.
Where automation fits
Shop-floor-to-finance posting
Production confirmations and goods movements posted into SAP finance without a person re-entering the same figures a second time.
SAP GUI transaction automation
Purchase order creation, goods receipt and invoice matching run as SAP GUI transactions, with exceptions routed to a person rather than stalling the queue.
SAP regression suites that keep pace with releases
Test case design, execution and reporting through UiPath Test Suite and Test Cloud, so a SAP transport doesn't ship untested because the suite is behind.
Shipment tracking and proof of delivery
Shipment status retrieved across carrier systems via REST and SOAP integrations, with proof-of-delivery documents captured and filed automatically.
Inventory and master-data reconciliation
Stock and material master data reconciled between SAP and shop-floor systems, with the business rule that decides which source wins applied consistently.
Quality-hold and exception handling
Agents classify why a movement or document is on hold, retrieve the missing context, and route anything above a confidence threshold to a person.
Services that apply
The pieces of our service line most manufacturers start with.
UiPath Agentic Automation
Augments an existing SAP GUI automation estate with agents for the exceptions and judgement calls that scripted bots can't handle.
Automated Testing
SAP and web regression from one suite, built on UiPath Test Suite, Test Cloud and Playwright.
Agentic AI Development
Multi-agent systems for reconciliation, exception triage and document handling across the SAP estate.
AI Readiness
A fixed-fee audit that prioritises which of these opportunities is worth automating first, before you commit to a build.
