Acciona's Services Division automates 50 processes with UiPath RPA, saving 1.5 FTEs in the pilot
Acciona's HR department manually processed data and documentation for thousands of temporary workers — tasks described as time-consuming, tedious, and demotivating, leaving no time to analyze data for business insights. One key process required up to 15 minutes per contract, with nearly 20,000 contracts processed in 2019.
