PHD students require their PHD Thesis to be marked by a industry expert (thesis marker). These experts are paid a fee for their services. These services are highly confidential and payments are expected to be marked in a timely manner. The process was automated end to end greatly improving the process.

• Testing
• Daily management
• Code refactoring
• Code migration

• Payment would be made in student management application
• Bot would log into the application and extract the list of outstanding payment requests
• Bot will check if the Thesis marker is in the ERP system as a supplier
• The bot would create a supplier site in the system if it doesnt not exists
• The Bot would then create a payment transaction in the ERP completing the process.

• Reduction in FTE required to process these transactions.
• Reduction in lead times required to process these transactions from 2-4 weeks to a few days
• Improved transaction security due to end to end automation.
