Practical Comparison of UiPath and Power Automate by Creating an Automation Use Case from Logistics

Robotic process automation (RPA) has emerged as one of the most lucrative technologies for automating business processes, replacing manual tasks, and freeing up employees for more productive work. Experimental research on RPA tools with respect to the usability dimension is largely unexplored in existing studies. Understanding user experience and tool effectiveness is vital to utilize RPA. The objective of this article is an experimental comparison of two RPA software’s: UiPath and Power Automate. The comparison was done with a use case from logistic. It involves daily car part pickups that require invoice creation and subsequent sharing via email. The results of the study will give insights into usability and pave the way for enhanced RPA tool utilization across industries. The article can encourage more companies to adopt RPA by demonstrating tangible benefits and practical applications, thereby driving innovation and efficiency in business processes.
