Clear skies with Autopilot: Onboarding revolutionised

In the realm of business process automation, Autopilot Workflow Solutions is emerging as a revolutionary force, now bolstered by its recent integration with Microsoft Teams. This cutting-edge application is set to transform how organisations manage the crucial task of employee onboarding.

Adam Shapiro, an IT veteran since 2000, is the force behind Autopilot. He co-founded Pilotfish Digital, a software house specialising in SharePoint development, and later embarked on creating Autopilot in 2014. More recently, he added AutoCollect to his portfolio of successful ventures.

Over the years, Shapiro has seen the pitfalls and triumphs of the IT industry first-hand and, with Autopilot, is committed to addressing some of the most common yet challenging hurdles in the corporate world.

“Employee onboarding has always been a critical yet complex task,” Shapiro notes. “With Autopilot, we’ve streamlined the process and eliminated a lot of the potential for human error, reducing the time spent by up to 80%.”

The Autopilot-Microsoft Teams integration allows organizations to automate sequences, create tasks, and generate vital reports quickly and cost-effectively. The app also skilfully handles offboarding, ensuring that vital access and systems are properly and timely disabled when an employee leaves the organisation.

Autopilot’s innovative approach to business automation was recently recognized at the 2023 IAMCP Partner-to-Partner (P2P) Awards, where it secured a finalist position in the ‘Excellence in Partnering’ category for the EMEA region.

Shapiro says, “This recognition is truly an honour. It’s a testament to our commitment to provide effective solutions for businesses.”

In addition to onboarding, Autopilot extends its automation capabilities to other business operations like leave/PTO requests, expense claims, purchase order requisitions, and IT support requests. The app currently automates over 100 000 workflows per month for companies in diverse sectors.

The Autopilot app is designed to be user-friendly, with digital forms and easy access to team data or data validation sources. It provides built-in and configurable guidance, ensuring that users can effectively leverage its features.

“We’ve ensured that everything connected to a request, from discussions to documents and data logs, is all located in one place,” Shapiro explains.

In the digital era, where efficiency is paramount, Autopilot Workflow Solutions, driven by the tenacity and experience of Shapiro, is leading the charge in business process automation, providing streamlined, high-tech solutions for the evolving workplace.
