NCS Partners
NUTAN’s Innovative Automation Edge Streamlining SCM

NCS Partners, a trailblazing system integrator and services provider, is making waves with NUTAN, an innovative RPA and test automation platform in the supply chain management space. Focused on global supply chain management firms, NUTAN provides a nimble, affordable platform for developing process automation and testing bots that dramatically reduce error rates, shorten cycle times for faster speed to market and frees up staff to work on higher-value activities.

What differentiates NUTAN from its competitors is its focus on the key functions of process and test automation. NUTAN eschews the bloated, complex functionality of large automation platforms for attention on the capabilities most vital to delivering automation value. NUTAN’s intuitive user interface enables rapid development and deployment of automations, radically reducing the time to obtain value from automation investments.

The testing automation component of NUTAN streamlines testing cycles, reducing manual intervention, and can generate data to drive testing cycles. These capabilities minimize testing time and costs while improving client testing process efficiency.

Developed by the experts at NCS Partners, who have decades of supply chain management experience, NUTAN’s initial focus was solely on testing automation to assist clients with system integration projects. At the urging of clients, NCS Partners expanded the platform to encompass robotic process automation (RPA), providing a unified interface and monitoring capability to manage both testing and RPA bots.

Shripad Divan, managing partner at NCS Partners, emphasizes a streamlined approach to automation, stating, “We believe automation doesn’t need to be a multi-year deployment with a multi-million dollar budget. NUTAN was developed to get organizations up and running quickly with automation.”

Acknowledging organizations’ everyday struggles in automation deployment, NCS Partners adopts a focused approach that identifies ‘quick wins’ through automation opportunity sessions with their clients. Often, automation scenarios begin with a single department and a single function. Once users experience the ease and power of NUTAN, they quickly identify other processes that would benefit from automation.

Numerous organizations struggle with significant challenges related to RPA ROI, scalability and change management. NUTAN’s platform enables customers to deploy automation solutions within days or weeks instead of months or years of other RPA providers. The quicker speed to value, coupled with NUTAN’s low cost of entry, leads to sustainable returns for automation investments.

To increase returns, organizations need to expand automation deployments across the enterprise.

Enterprise scale requires the automation platform to accommodate more users and complex processes. NUTAN has been successfully deployed in large Fortune 500 organizations, managing highvolume, complex operations. NUTAN’s central console provides visibility to all bots running inside the organization and secures access to bots via role-based access controls.

Finally, NCS Partners provides an ecosystem to assist customers in the adoption of automation technology. This ecosystem includes a comprehensive support structure that provides professional services for business case development, impact analysis, communication strategy and plans, training and ongoing support.

In contrast to conventional RPA deployments, where tools are often handed over to customers without a thorough grasp of their business, NCS Partners closely engages with customers throughout the deployment process. NCS Partners focuses on assisting customers to attain self-sufficiency in developing and managing NUTAN bots and tools. This focus enables enduring success and sustainability and is the cornerstone of NCS Partners’ change management strategy.

Two compelling instances underscore NUTAN’s tangible benefits in diverse scenarios. In automated application testing use case, NUTAN bots eliminated from 200-500 hours of manual testing each month, drastically increasing testing quality and achieving huge savings for its client annually. In a freight pay use case, NUTAN addressed inefficiencies in auditing freight bills by significantly reducing processing time, increasing accuracy, minimizing labor, and improving the bottom line. NUTAN is system agnostic and can easily integrate with other systems regardless of operating system or user interface. NUTAN also works with other technologies, such as optical character recognition (OCR), or can provide those capabilities within the tool if needed.

NCS Partners collaborates and integrates with various vendors to meet specific domain needs in the supply chain sector. Its API-based integration strategy enables smooth communication with diverse systems like SAP, Manhattan and Oracle. The company also collaborates with automation vendors to simulate and adapt new processes in warehouse settings, minimizing operational disruptions.

With a laser focus on quick wins, user-friendly design, scalability and unwavering support, NCS Partners presents a holistic solution that navigates the distinct challenges of the supply chain, ultimately giving organizations a pathway to efficient and cost-effective automation.
