Arc Intermedia used a powerful workflow automation to improve a time-consuming process, reducing manual involvement and increasing bandwidth to produce high-level deliverables.
Scraping webpage content and formatting it into branded documents that can be collaboratively edited and shared was a manual and time-consuming task that took energy away from higher level strategic work. So Arc set out to automate the process, drastically reducing time spent on menial tasks and increasing bandwidth for higher impact tasks.
Working closely with stakeholders, Arc clearly mapped the requirements and steps involved with the manual process. A plan was then crafted to automate the process, allowing multiple pages to be scraped and formatted in seconds.
During the automation, a set of links are submitted through an easy-to-use interface. Key elements from each page are scraped and formatted to the team’s specifications. A new document is automatically created for each page and the content is added and formatted based on the designated brand styling. Finally, each page is named and saved to a shared drive, ready for the strategic work to begin. No effort and brain power used for formatting.
Without over engineering or the use of costly AI tools and tokens, this simple automation saves more than 20 hours every month, leading to a higher volume of more meaningful work and an overall increase in productivity and satisfaction.
