Pathe's automation journey
Pathé began its automation journey with Freeday by introducing their first digital finance assistant, Ranny, to support the Accounts Payable department. Initially, Ranny was responsible for classifying emails and processing invoices and reminders. Over time, Ranny's capabilities expanded to handle a substantial volume of financial transactions, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of the AP team.
Ranny's implementation led to remarkable results, including a 94% reduction in manual email processing, with approximately 6,100 emails and 3,200 invoices processed monthly. This automation not only reduced errors and improved compliance but also allowed the finance team to focus on more strategic tasks, ultimately enhancing productivity and operational efficiency.
Following Ranny's success, Pathé is now exploring further automation opportunities across other departments. The goal is to continue digitalizing and optimizing operations, perfectly aligning with Pathé's mission to innovate and streamline their processes. Leveraging Freeday's expertise, Pathé remains at the forefront of the competitive cinema industry, enhancing both employee efficiency and guest satisfaction.
