It also revealed that organizations are exploring RPA across several supply chain areas, including supply chain planning, sourcing and procurement, logistics and warehousing, and manufacturing. The study also found that RPA is crucial in Logistics and Warehousing as it enables the automation of shipment scheduling and tracking, data management, inventory management, and order fulfillment.
