Business automation (en-US)
Business automation is the use of software, systems, and technology to perform repetitive or rule-based tasks with minimal human intervention. It helps organizations streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve consistency across processes such as invoicing, customer support, data entry, reporting, and approvals.

Common examples
Examples include automating email responses and ticket routing in customer service, generating invoices from accounting data, syncing customer records between CRM and marketing tools, triggering alerts when inventory levels change, and using workflow tools to route documents for review and approval. More advanced automation may include “intelligent” features like machine learning for classification or forecasting, while still following defined business rules.

Benefits and considerations
