Every company has a process that looks harmless on a whiteboard and expensive in real life: copy from portal A, paste into spreadsheet B, upload to system C, then ping someone on Slack. Robotic process automation is useful when it removes that grind without inventing a fragile robot that only one contractor understands.
Proxy Soft’s automation work is deliberately practical. We match the tool to the problem:
- n8n — visual workflows that connect CRMs, email, sheets, webhooks, and internal APIs
- Robocorp — structured bots for back-office and ERP-style operations where reliability matters
- Playwright — modern browser automation when a partner portal has no usable API
- Selenium — coverage for legacy suites and environments that still depend on it
What we optimize for
Speed demos are easy. Trust is harder. We design automations with:
- Clear inputs and outputs so failures are obvious
- Retries that are thoughtful instead of infinite
- Logs someone can read during an incident
- Escalation to a human when data looks wrong
- Documentation so the bot is not tribal knowledge
Automation beside custom software
Often the best answer is both: a Django or Node-backed system of record, plus n8n/Robocorp flows that move status, documents, and notifications between tools your team already uses. That combination tends to beat “rip everything out and rebuild” for mid-sized operations teams.
A simple discovery checklist
- How often does the process run, and what is the cost of a mistake?
- Is there an API, or only a browser UI?
- Who owns the process after go-live?
- What should happen when the third-party site changes overnight?
If your team is drowning in repetitive portal work, tell us about the workflow. We will help you decide what to automate, what to rebuild, and what to leave alone.
