What are the Types of Automation Tools?

Click any type below to expand and see how CAOA applies it.

Process Automation
Automating business processes through software that directs how work is done. For example, an accounts payable process might be automated so that when a new invoice arrives, it is sent directly for approval before being emailed back � eliminating human error and reducing manual labor costs.
How CAOA helps: CAOA automates task creation, assignment, status updates, invoice generation, and client notifications � configurable to your firm's exact process without off-the-shelf limitations.
Data Automation
Automating data collection, sorting, and analysis through artificial intelligence (AI) technology such as machine learning algorithms � making it possible for machines to learn as they go along without any input needed from humans themselves.
How CAOA helps: CAOA's analytics dashboards auto-aggregate client data, task performance, and revenue metrics � giving you real-time financial intelligence without any manual data wrangling.
Workflow Automation
A workflow is a series of tasks required in order for something else to happen � such as an invoice to be approved and paid. Automating these steps allows for greater efficiency by eliminating manual labor so more time can be spent on strategic goals.
How CAOA helps: CAOA's 80+ automation rules handle end-to-end workflows � from task auto-creation on due dates to auto-sending reports to clients � all running in the background without staff intervention.
