Robotic process automation (RPA) is an emerging business process automation technology embedded with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning capabilities to capture, interpret and automate existing high-volume and repetitive tasks which were done manually previously. It enables organizations to effectively automate tasks, streamline processes, increase employee productivity, and ultimately deliver satisfying customer experiences.
Digital transformation is disrupting the hospitality industry in many ways.

Loyalty and streamlined rewards redemption will be another key area where RPA will improve.
