At a time when companies are looking to optimize their operations and reduce repetitive manual tasks, UiPath has established itself as a benchmark RPA (Robotic Process Automation) solution on the market.
Recognized as a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant, this platform radically transforms the way organizations manage their day-to-day business processes.
As an RPA solution, UiPath offers a comprehensive set of tools for the efficient automation of low-value-added tasks, such as data processing, ERP data entry, document management and information extraction. Its flexibility and compatibility with numerous platforms such as SAP, Salesforce, AWS, Oracle and Microsoft Office make it particularly well suited to complex IT environments.
Within its RPA practice, SQORUS has chosen to adopt UiPath as its RPA solution to support its customers in their digital transformation. This strategic choice is based on the platform’s robustness, intuitive interface and ability to integrate non-invasively into existing systems.
In this article, we’ll explore UiPath’s concrete use cases, how it works technically, the different offerings available, and its advantages and limitations, to help you determine whether this technology meets your company’s specific needs.
Why use RPA with UiPath?
RPA can be used to automate processes previously carried out by humans, which are time-consuming and tedious for the employee.
The greater the volume of data to be processed, the more useful it is to involve RPA. The robot can extract and prepare data (from source systems, databases, the web…), perform processing and checks based on a set of rules, create documents by incorporating the right information, or write, sort, extract email attachments, etc. The list goes on…
In short, anything a human can do, a robot can do if the data is structured and does not require “human judgment”.
For example, in the banking environment, the robot helps KYC (Know your customer) processes that allow to verify the identity of a company’s customers and their compliance with current legislation, in order to detect identity theft, financial fraud etc.
Another recurring example is ERP data entry for issuing purchase orders, delivery notes, invoices and, more broadly, for managing after-sales service.
Why use UiPath?
UiPath robots have excellent relationships with a variety of platforms.
They have an excellent relationship with SAP, Salesforce, AWS or Oracle, but also with office applications such as Microsoft Office.
UiPath is a flexible, scalable automation platform. The customer support is responsive and excellent, according to all the reviews listed on the web. The robots work in the front and back office.
How does UiPath for Business work?
On the technical side, you choose the type of project you want to create. It can be a blank process, a process already created to be implemented within another process, create an assisted robot (or not if there’s no need for human control), or a hybrid robot.
Once chosen, in the development environment, we can download the missing packages if they are not present by default, so as to be able to retrieve the full “panoply” of necessary and specific activities forrobot development.
The activities are inserted in “drag and drop” in the development window, for a really significant saving in lines of code. Everything is visual, such as diagrams and block nesting, which improves the overall vision of the processes.
All you have to do is to make the necessary adjustments, process and store the recovered information in variables, connect the desired databases to them, and then continue in this way until the end of the process. This can be executed or revised in debug mode.
The robots can be deployed and controlled via an Orchestrator in the browser, which allows them to be remotely controlled, to be set in “queues” and to monitor their performance and statistics in real time. A smartphone app is also available.
What are the advantages of UiPath as an RPA solution?
The advantages of UiPath are:
- Its speed of development
- Ergonomic design for easy handling
- Visual design for a quick, global view of a process

What are the drawbacks of UiPath?
The disadvantages of UiPath are:
- Customer support is only available for enterprise versions.
- The platform’s documentation is sometimes incomplete due to the speed with which new features are added.
- An enterprise price that seems less suitable for VSEs/SMEs speed of development
