Integrate SPIRAL with NP Kakebarai to request billing in NP Kakebarai when the status is updated in SPIRAL.

r.suzuki

In the business field, efficient operations are required.
Especially, smoothly handling routine tasks like billing processes is important not only for saving time but also for preventing errors and gaining trust.
This time, we will introduce a new system that automatically requests billing according to status updates by utilizing SPIRAL and NP Atobarai.
This automation improves operational efficiency, allowing billing processes to proceed smoothly while freeing up time to focus on core tasks.
Additionally, automatic billing with status updates can save time and reduce human errors.
Those aiming for operational efficiency should definitely take this as a reference.

Benefits of Integrating SPIRAL and NP Atobarai

1. Improved Operational Efficiency

By integrating SPIRAL and NP Atobarai to automatically request billing according to status updates, manual tasks can be reduced, allowing that time to be allocated to other important tasks.
Therefore, overall operational efficiency can be expected to improve.
For example, in the sales department, the time spent on manual billing requests can be automated, potentially increasing the time available for acquiring new customers and responding to existing ones.

2. Reduction of Human Errors

Manual processing is prone to errors, but automation can prevent incorrect entries and omissions.
Therefore, accurate data can be ensured, and accurate billing processing can be expected.
For example, in the accounting department, errors in entering incorrect amounts or customer information are not allowed, but automation may achieve more accurate billing processing.

Now, let's quickly integrate the two apps using Yoom!

The person who wrote this article
r.suzuki
I came across Yoom when I was searching for ways to improve work efficiency on a daily basis at a small and medium-sized enterprise in a region where human resources are limited. I was casually thinking that it would be nice if this were the case, and by introducing Yoom, we can make it so much more efficient! I'm moved. Even though I have no knowledge or experience with systems or programming, my work has changed drastically, so I'm writing that I hope I can share it with many people who feel the same way.

What is Yoom hyperautomation?
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.
Don't Just Connect Apps—Automate Everything
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.
