Automate RPA by Fortra (formerly HelpSystems) is a powerful Robotic Process Automation solution tailored for businesses seeking to streamline repetitive tasks, eliminate manual data entry, and increase productivity across departments. It provides a comprehensive, scalable platform that enables organizations to build, deploy, and manage bots to automate workflows without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Key features include task scheduling, event-driven automation, drag-and-drop workflow design, screen scraping, application integration, and secure credential management—all supported by a centralized control hub. The user interface of Automate RPA is designed to be intuitive, making it accessible to both technical and non-technical users. The workflow builder utilizes a drag-and-drop interface where users can visually design automation sequences without having to write scripts.

The navigation layout is clean, with contextual menus and a centralized dashboard that presents real-time bot statuses and logs. This low-code/no-code design empowers citizen developers to create powerful automations without relying heavily on IT teams.
