How do I automate my initial process?

expand button
What data sources can Yarado use?

Yarado supports all application environments and data sources. Websites, portals, on-premises applications and cloud-based portals. The robot can handle any application, and of course we support Excel, Email, XML, JSON, CSV, SCV and SQL.

expand button
What technology does Yarado run on?

The technology behind our platform is also called Robotic Process Automation (RPA), or softwarerobots. These softwarerobots automate what you do on your screen, **10x faster**, **24/7**, and **never make a mistake**. Softwarerobots automate your work by mimicking **human clicks and actions in an application user interface**, so basically the software is mimicking you. If APIs are already used in your process, we can work with them. **Our robots can mimic actions** such as data processing, processing files, moving files and so on. Yarado combines APIs and user interface interactions to integrate repetitive actions and perform tasks between different applications.
