Let's take a step towards transforming our busy daily lives into something smarter and more efficient.
I had about 8 years of sales and office work experience at an insurance agency.
While dealing with customers, we have been organizing the operations of each branch office and working to improve efficiency and leveling them.
While carrying out the main business, we will use tools determined by the company to disseminate various contents so that it can contribute to improving the work efficiency of everyone who is inputted and managed.
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
