Process Management / Lean Management

The basis of any digitization is the standardization of workflows. We support you in documenting processes and decisions in BPMN 2.0 / DMN 1.1 as well as in building a process house from a fiscal point of view. If a documentation tool is already in use, we are happy to use it. Alternatively, we can advise you on the selection of a tool that is suitable for you, e.g. ARIS, Signavio, etc.

Possible use cases: 

• Preparation for a digital TCMS project
• Preparation of GoBD procedure documentation
• Planned introduction of RPA (Robotic Process Automation) or workflow systems
• Outsourcing of process steps to external service providers
• Definition of requirements for the implementation of IT systems, e.g..: SAP S/4HANA
• Identification of possible measures for meaningful digitalization (link to strategy consulting)

 

Your advantages:

• Fast modeling of your control processes based on a large number of process templates (WTS process library - BPMN 2.0)
• Ensuring a high notation quality of the process documentation including relevant roles and responsibilities, IT systems
• Ideal basis for all digitization projects
• Process documentation as a building block for possible ISO certificatio

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is the automated execution of structured business processes by "bots"/software robots. At WTS, we help you build your own family of robots to make rule-based and repetitive control processes fast and efficient. Our Financial Advisory experts undertake the analysis and sustainable automation of financial processes. Processes with a high transactional volume are best suited for this approach. For this purpose, the "bots" are adapted to and embedded in the specific needs of your IT infrastructure and organization in a system-independent manner.

Example use cases:

• Entry of invoices in the ERP system
• Reconciliation of bookings on different accounts in Controlling
• Synchronization of ERP and CRM system

Your advantages:

• Processing of a high number of cases in a fraction of the time previously required for manual processing
• No clerical or manual errors
• Automatic documentation
• Replacement for expensive interfaces

Bots can also be a transitional solution towards automated process control via workflow systems. These then control complete end-to-end processes, are integrated into the IT landscape and perform automatic actions such as entering data, sending notifications or creating documents without the need for manual interaction.

Relieve your employees from manual, repetitive tasks, build an automated "back office" instead. In this way, you give your employees more time for innovative topics and for expanding customer satisfaction.

In addition, the Financial Advisory division is part of the project-accompanying committee of the RPAsset research project, which is being conducted under the auspices of IPRI (International Performance Research Institute GmbH) and RWTH Aachen University (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen).

Process mining is the reconstruction and analysis of business processes based on electronic footprints. In this process, the individual steps of the process are pieced together using system data and the process is visualized.

As a team of tax, finance and process experts, we work with leading solutions (e.g. Celonis, Lana Labs or Signavio PI) to optimize your processes.

Sample use cases:

• Process flows intransparent and divergent
• Process output qualitatively and quantitatively difficult to predict
• Process efficiency impaired by workarounds and system breaks
• Process costs above average
• Suspicion of compliance violations in the process flow
• Process analysis in the course of planned automation
• Insufficient satisfaction of process participants and customers

Your advantages:

• Process transparency on a granular level with target/actual comparison
• Fast determination of the process quantity structure
• Identification of performance and compliance-relevant process weaknesses and variants
• Fast and precise (starting points for) improvements through integrated root cause analysis
• Targeted communication through result visualization
• Transparency about user and customer friendliness

Typical areas of application are order-to-cash or purchase-to-pay processes, as they have a high transactional volume and thus a great deal of leverage for potential optimization.
