Project Manager at Payone GmbH (Worldline AG)

  • Objective/Motivation: PAYONE urgently needs a 360° view of its customers. So far, PAYONE has had no company-wide master data strategy. It is not possible to identify customers across all relevant systems.

The organization is to be enabled to identify customers across all relevant systems. Establishing the basis for master data management at PAYONE

  • Challenge: Due to company acquisitions, the system landscape is very heterogeneous. The company is highly dynamic and burdened with many system harmonization and integration projects, meaning that resource bottlenecks and changes in project priorities repeatedly create an almost impossible task.

Due to BaFin findings, the project has a central task and role. The first focus is the migration of all customers, including their AML/KYC data, from the master data backend systems to Salesforce. This is intended to resolve one of the largest findings and establish the corresponding ODD/EDD processes.

In addition, customer data must be harmonized in Salesforce. Previous migrations resulted in duplicate customer records in some cases. The aim is therefore to maintain only one customer in Salesforce and, using the relevant information from the backend systems, also be able to identify which products the customer uses and in which processing systems the customer obtains PAYONE services.

Project: ONE Customer

Budget: €1.5 million

Team: 10/30 employees (full-time/part-time); 4 vendors/providers

Integration: 8 (subsystems/interfaces)

Applications: Salesforce; SAP S4/HANA; in-house developments

Tools: MS Office; Jira, Confluence, SharePoint

Methods: Hands-on; Agile (SAFe); Prince2

About the technology

What RPA does

Robotic Process Automation, or RPA, uses software robots to perform repeatable, rule-based tasks across business applications. These digital workers can read structured data, enter records, move files, trigger workflows and reconcile information without changing the underlying systems. RPA is useful where work is stable, high-volume and governed by clear rules.

Common automation work

RPA specialists automate processes that cross spreadsheets, portals, email inboxes and enterprise software. Typical assignments include:

  • Invoice capture, validation and payment preparation
  • Customer or employee record updates across systems
  • Report generation, data checks and scheduled distribution
  • Claims, order and service-request processing
  • Legacy application workflows without a usable API

Tools and ecosystem

The ecosystem includes UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism and Microsoft Power Automate. Effective delivery also involves OCR, document understanding, APIs, web automation, queues, credential vaults, process mining and orchestration. Specialists may connect RPA with ERP, CRM, ticketing, finance and human-resources systems while respecting access controls and audit needs.

When companies bring experts in

Companies often need freelance expertise when an automation program is starting, an internal team is overloaded or a critical workflow must be stabilized. A specialist can assess process suitability, map exceptions, define controls and create a maintainable delivery plan. External support is also valuable during migrations between RPA tools or after a merger creates duplicated processes.

Reliable delivery signals

Strong RPA professionals do more than record clicks. They distinguish suitable automation candidates from processes that need redesign, handle exceptions explicitly and build reusable components. They document business rules, logging, recovery paths and credential handling, then test against realistic data and operational scenarios. Clear handover materials help internal teams monitor and extend the automation.

Collaboration and outcomes

RPA work sits between business operations, IT and compliance. Good specialists can translate a manual procedure into a process map, challenge unnecessary steps and explain limitations to non-technical stakeholders. Deliverables may include a feasibility assessment, process design, bot workflows, test evidence, monitoring guidance and training. Remote collaboration works well when process owners can provide secure access, sample data and timely decisions.

Frequently asked questions

Curious about Robotic Process Automation? Here are the answers that come up again and again.

Robotic Process Automation is used to automate repetitive, rule-based work across applications that people normally operate through screens. Common examples include invoice handling, customer data updates, reconciliations, report preparation and case routing. It is most effective when the process has stable rules and predictable inputs.

RPA interacts with existing interfaces, which can make it useful when APIs or integration options are limited. Traditional integrations are often more robust for high-volume, real-time data exchange and long-term system connectivity. A strong specialist evaluates both options instead of treating automation as the default answer.

A strong UiPath or other RPA specialist may also work with Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism or Microsoft Power Automate. Useful adjacent skills include process mapping, OCR, APIs, SQL, document understanding, queues, identity controls and test automation. Knowledge of the business process is as important as tool proficiency.

Robotic Process Automation projects need experience matched to their scope, risk and system landscape rather than a fixed career duration. A simple attended workflow may need focused implementation skills, while unattended automations across finance or customer operations require stronger architecture, exception handling and governance. Ask for evidence of comparable processes and documented production handover.

RPA work can often be delivered remotely through secure development environments, controlled credentials and screen-sharing sessions with process owners. On-site access may still help with restricted systems, workshops or complex operational discovery. Agree on data handling, environment access, communication windows and approval responsibilities before work starts.

Choose an RPA specialist who can explain why a process is suitable, not just demonstrate a tool. Review examples of exception handling, logging, security controls, testing and support documentation. A practical discovery conversation should produce clear assumptions, risks and measurable acceptance criteria.

RPA follows defined rules and usually works best with structured, predictable inputs. Artificial intelligence and machine learning can interpret unstructured documents, classify content or make predictions, and they may complement an automation workflow. The right design combines these capabilities only where they solve a real process problem.

Before starting Robotic Process Automation work, clarify the process owner, systems involved, input formats, exception paths, security model and target operating environment. Freelancers should also confirm who approves business rules, who provides test data and who owns support after release. These details prevent a bot from reproducing an unclear or unstable process.

The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used Robotic Process Automation in their recent projects is 110 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 879 € based on an 8-hour working day.
