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 uses software bots to perform repeatable, rule-based actions across business applications. Bots can read structured data, move information between systems, create records, send messages and trigger workflows without changing the underlying software. RPA is often used where APIs are unavailable or process steps still depend on legacy interfaces.
Where it fits
RPA supports operations in finance, insurance, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing and public administration. Typical processes include invoice handling, order entry, account reconciliation, claims administration, employee onboarding and report preparation. In Germany, specialists often work with teams that need automation across SAP, desktop software, email and document systems.
- Automate data entry between incompatible applications
- Extract information from structured documents
- Route approvals and exception cases
- Create audit-ready process records
Tools and skills
The ecosystem includes UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism and Microsoft Power Automate. Strong professionals also understand process discovery, workflow design, selectors, queues, credentials, logging and deployment. Useful adjacent skills include SQL, APIs, webhooks, OCR, document understanding, Excel automation and enterprise identity management.
When to hire specialists
Companies bring in freelance RPA expertise when manual processing is growing, operations depend on copy-and-paste work or internal teams need automation delivered without delaying core projects. Specialists can map the current process, assess exceptions, choose the right automation approach and create a maintainable bot pipeline. They also help establish governance before automation spreads across departments.
Reliable delivery
Good automation starts with a clearly defined process and measurable business rules. Experienced professionals test normal paths, exceptions, permissions and recovery steps before release. They document dependencies, separate credentials from workflows and provide monitoring, support and handover so teams can operate the automation safely after launch.
Choosing the right expert
Look for evidence of production automations, not only tool certifications. A capable specialist asks about process variation, data quality, security, audit needs and ownership before proposing a bot. They communicate limits clearly and know when an API integration, workflow application or process redesign is better than RPA. Remote work is practical when access, documentation and stakeholder communication are well organised; on-site collaboration can help during discovery or complex rollout phases.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Robotic Process Automation? Start with the answers below.
Robotic Process Automation is used to automate repetitive, rule-based work across applications that people normally operate through a screen. Common examples include invoice entry, data validation, reconciliations, report creation, customer record updates and workflow notifications.
RPA works through user interfaces and can connect systems that lack suitable APIs, while API integration communicates directly with application services. A specialist should assess stability, security, data volume and maintenance before choosing bots, APIs or a combination of both.
Robotic Process Automation specialists commonly work with UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism or Microsoft Power Automate. Useful adjacent skills include process mapping, SQL, REST APIs, OCR, document understanding, Excel automation, identity management and exception handling.
RPA projects need practical experience that matches their process risk and technical scope, rather than a fixed career threshold. A simple workflow may need a focused specialist, while regulated or business-critical automation calls for someone who has handled governance, testing, monitoring and production support.
Robotic Process Automation work is often suitable for remote collaboration because process mapping, development, testing and documentation can be handled online. German companies may still prefer on-site sessions for discovery, access setup or workshops, and language expectations should be agreed before the engagement begins.
RPA is a poor fit when processes change constantly, require complex judgement or already have stable, well-supported APIs. In those cases, process redesign, application development, workflow software or direct integration may produce a more durable result.
RPA quality is shown through clear process analysis, robust exception paths, secure credential handling, useful logs and documentation that another team can maintain. Ask for anonymised examples of production work and discuss how the specialist tests failures, monitors bots and manages changes.
Robotic Process Automation freelancers usually work with process owners, compliance teams, IT operations and application specialists. They should expect access constraints, incomplete documentation and changing business rules, so careful discovery, stakeholder communication and a clear handover are central to successful delivery.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Robotic Process Automation in their recent projects is 111 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 887 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Robotic Process Automation in their recent projects, 89% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 51% hold at least a Master's degree, and 5% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Robotic Process Automation in their recent projects have 18 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.1 years.
