We are very satisfied with their project management approach. All key milestones and deliverables were completed on time, and the team maintained clear and proactive communication throughout the project. What stands out most is their flexibility and willingness to adapt to our changing business needs. They took the time to understand our processes, listened carefully to our requirements, and often proposed better solutions than we initially considered. Their combination of technical expertise, business understanding, and consultative approach helped us achieve better outcomes than originally expected. They were always responsive, collaborative, and focused on delivering real business value rather than simply implementing requirements.

Virtual Meeting

What impressed us most was Office Samurai’s partnership-oriented approach. Unlike many technology vendors, they were not focused on maximizing billable hours or increasing the scope of work unnecessarily. Instead, they consistently looked for the most efficient and cost-effective solutions, always keeping the business value and return on investment in mind. They took the time to understand our business, our processes, and our growth objectives before proposing any solution. Their recommendations were practical and focused on delivering measurable outcomes rather than implementing technology for its own sake. We also highly appreciated their flexibility and responsiveness during the support and maintenance phase. The collaboration felt less like working with an external vendor and more like having an extension of our own team. Office Samurai was genuinely invested in our success, proactive in addressing challenges, and always available to help optimize and improve the solutions after deployment. This combination of technical expertise, business understanding, and commitment to long-term value is what truly sets them apart.

We have not identified any significant areas for improvement.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.:
InPost is a leading European logistics company headquartered in Poland, best known for its parcel locker network (Paczkomaty) that has reshaped last-mile delivery across multiple markets. Within InPost's Finance Division, I lead the RPA & AI Automation Center of Excellence, a team of around 10 developers and analysts responsible for designing, delivering, and maintaining automation solutions across finance processes such as P2P, OTC, and FTM. Our stack is built around UiPath as the primary automation platform, integrated with SAP, Jira, Confluence, and Databricks, and we increasingly combine classic RPA with AI agents to scale impact across the organization.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address?
 One of the key challenges we were trying to address was the identification of automation opportunities within our Service Desk area, where high ticket volumes and repetitive request patterns suggested strong potential, but the actual candidates for RPA were not immediately obvious. The difficulty was in distinguishing tasks that were truly rule-based and stable enough to automate from those that only appeared repetitive but relied on human judgment or fragmented, non-standard inputs. We needed a structured approach to assess, qualify, and prioritize these processes before committing development effort, ensuring that automation would deliver measurable value rather than just shift the complexity elsewhere.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement and team dynamic?
Office Samurai carried out a structured process discovery exercise across our Service Desk area, mapping activities, volumes, and pain points to pinpoint where automation and AI could deliver real impact. Based on this analysis, they identified a set of processes suitable for building a multi-agent system designed to support first-line Service Desk staff in their daily work. The engagement combined their consultants with our internal team in a collaborative setup, which allowed knowledge transfer and joint decision-making throughout the discovery phase.

What's the status of this engagement?

The engagement has been successfully completed, with Office Samurai delivering a clear set of recommendations for further automation within the Service Desk area. We are now executing on these recommendations primarily in-house, leveraging our internal RPA & AI Automation CoE capabilities. On occasion, we still engage Office Samurai to build selected individual automations where it makes sense to complement our internal delivery capacity.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did your relationship with your partner evolve?
 The successful delivery of this project had a clearly positive impact on strengthening our trust in Office Samurai as a partner. It demonstrated their ability to effectively identify automation potential across both classic RPA use cases and scenarios enhanced by artificial intelligence components. As a result, our relationship has evolved into a more mature, advisory-led collaboration where they are seen as a credible partner for shaping our broader automation roadmap.

In what ways can they improve?

One area worth considering for improvement is the time between placing a work order and the actual effective start of the engagement on their side. Shortening this lead time would help us respond more dynamically to emerging automation needs, especially in cases where business stakeholders expect quick turnaround.

What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?

Do not hesitate to collaborate with Office Samurai, regardless of your organization's current maturity level. They are equally capable of helping you identify automation potential, delivering ready-to-use automations, and acting as a trusted advisory partner throughout your journey. I sincerely recommend working with Office Samurai to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile automation partner.
