43% more invoices per person in an automated Procure-to-Pay cycle

Purchasing teams spent hours on each invoice, and the cycle had gaps in control. NTT DATA reviewed operations, tools and the organizational model, then built a roadmap with four automation scenarios. Each person in the process now handles 43% more invoices, and the process runs with 34% fewer full-time employees.

WHY AI & HYPERAUTOMATION FOR GROCERY OPERATIONS?

Operational complexity, fragmented systems and labour-intensive processes continue to constrain performance in grocery retail. Many core activities across stores, supply chain and back-office functions remain repetitive and prone to error.

AI and hyperautomation address these challenges by automating routine tasks, improving process visibility and enabling faster, data-driven execution. This allows retailers to reduce inefficiencies, enhance control and free up resources for higher-value activities.

How NTT DATA helps

01

Focused automation strategy

We identify and prioritise high-impact use cases aligned with cost, efficiency and service objectives.

02

AI and RPA at scale

We automate repetitive and data-heavy processes across finance, supply chain, procurement and store operations.

03

Process intelligence

We use process mining to uncover inefficiencies and target automation where it delivers the greatest value.

04

Continuous optimization

We ensure automation evolves over time through ongoing monitoring and refinement.
