Travis Perkins automates credit account processing with UiPath and Robiquity, reducing processing time to 20 minutes

Travis Perkins processed 15,000 credit account applications per year entirely manually, with a single team member handling data entry from paper forms, credit checks across multiple systems, and worst-case processing times of five hours per application, creating data security risks and an inability to scale during promotions.

Outcome

The automated process now takes 20 minutes end-to-end, the SLA dropped from 48 to 24 hours, and Travis Perkins handled 27 percent more new customers in the last year while processing applications faster.

What failed first

Travis Perkins had attempted similar automation approximately 15 years earlier but could not achieve the desired results and deprioritized the effort.
