and SAP to create end-to-end
automation with record changes in
Salesforce.
Benefits:
• Fast: Instant native automation launch
from Salesforce (SFDC Connector)

Use Case: Real estate company streamlines lease closing
process, saving them weeks of swivel-chair data entry work
Challenge:
• A real estate company in Florida has multiple
manual steps using Smartsheet, DocuSign, and
SFDC to process one lease close or update—
prone to errors, long wait time, and lots of tedious
work for an already stretched back-office team.
Solution:
• Customer used the Salesforce and multiple other
UiPath integrations to manage the end-to-end
lease close process.
Benefits:
• Fast: No wait time for one department to process
each lease case—action instantly. Launched
automation in days.
• Reliable: Robots do not get tired; UiPath
platform completes end-to-end automation with
less error and on time.
• Simple: One automation platform to download,
learn, and deploy. One workflow experience.
• Results: Automation used on 300+ project
updates and drove weeks of time saved from
tedious data entry and back-office processes.
