RPA and BPM: Better Together
Don’t choose between RPA and BPM. Pick both.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the technology that refers to RPA software robots that are programmed and configured to perform repetitive, time-consuming, high-volume, manual tasks. Business Process Management (BPM) is a discipline involving all the combinations of modeling, automation, execution, control, measurement, and optimization of business activity flows, to support enterprise goals, spanning systems, employees, customers, and partners, within and beyond the enterprise boundaries.
How exactly does Robotic Process Automation software work?
With RPA software, a computer works as an agent that emulates and integrates the actions of a human, interacting within a platform to perform a variety of repetitive tasks.

Digital Business Transformation with RPA and BPM
RPA and BPM are supplementary but they serve different goals. BPM is a management discipline for process orchestration, change management, and full life-cycle management while RPA creates software robots that simulate human actions and automate tasks across the business, reducing costs and eliminating human errors.
Comidor provides both BPM and RPA functionality. The combined strength of these two technologies delivers the most powerful platform to enable digital business transformation.

RPA Agents & Scripts
Use Comidor RPA robots and integrate them into our Comidor Process Engine. With the Comidor BPMN 2.0 Workflow Designer, users can involve RPA agents and predefined scripts within their processes.
RPA solutions can be integrated into:
- Process initiation
- Report generation
- Files upload in the Comidor Document Management System (DMS)
- Data extraction from multiple databases
With Comidor RPA you can:
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Increase productivity of employees as they can perform more tasks than having to focus on repetitive business procedures
- Speed up time-consuming processes

RPA Workflow Components
Comidor Workflow Designer offers a variety of RPA elements to eliminate repetitive manual tasks and allow employees to focus on more significant ones.
In particular, Comidor RPA elements are the following:

RPA Excel Processor
RPA Web Scraper
Export Data
File Reader
Digital Signature
RPA Caller & Receiver
With the RPA Caller and RPA Receiver workflow components, you can retrieve or exchange data with other systems. Add an RPA Caller into various steps of the workflow design to send data from the workflow and perform a series of repetitive actions in third-party systems. Involve an RPA Receiver to perform actions and receive data from other systems to Comidor workflow fields.
RPA Selenium
Use a Robotic Process Automation Selenium in your workflow to replicate repetitive manual steps. Using RPA Selenium, you can:
- Define all the actions that you wish the bot to execute step-by-step (e.g., go to a URL, click, hover, sleep, input, etc.)
- Use unique CSS selectors for specifying each element
- Retrieve or exchange data from web applications and store it in user fields of the workflows
The RPA Selenium bot runs in the background, so it will not “waste” your valuable resources.
RPA Document Creator
Even a simple process such as invoicing can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Comidor automates document creation through workflows to keep things simple and streamlined. With the Document Creator component, you can:
- Create invoices, reports, or other types of documents by combining a file template format and fields of the workflow
- Set a template file for your document in a form via your desktop, upload it into a binary field during a workflow step, or give the template name of a file stored in the DMS
RPA Excel Processor
Use the RPA Excel Processor element to parse a big excel file, and capture values of certain cells into user fields.
- Parse Excel. Capture values of cells into user fields or an entire area of Excel and store them in an Excel type user field.
- Get # of Sheets. Get the number of the sheets in the uploaded Excel (useful for large Excel files with multiple sheets).
- Find in Sheet. Find a certain value in the Excel file (Define the Search Index).
- Find the row in Sheet. Find a specific value in an Excel file and get the entire row as a response.
RPA Web Scraper
Use an RPA Web Scraper in your workflow to find information in a selected area of a website and store it inside user fields.
- Define the URL that should be scraped. Select a text field type
- Choose the Search selector from a variety of options (xpaths, class, id, etc.) based on the website you are scraping
- Define the unique Selector
- Store the result of the RPA Web Scraper in a user field
Export Data
Easily export data stored in Comidor and create your own reports. A .csv file is produced and contains fields with information that you want to extract. You can save these files to a specific path or to a binary field that is created inside Comidor.
- Filter your exported data based on specific values or characteristics
- Export data from a specific export path or a binary field that exists in Comidor
- Select existing data from Comidor
- Create custom reports and store them in .csv format
File Reader
Comidor’s File Reader workflow component enables you to read files from a specific path and save them to binary fields in workflow or import data from a file into Comidor units.
- Select whether you want to read a file that exists in a specific path or import a file from a document that is already uploaded to Comidor
- Import data from a file from a specific path or from a binary field that is used within the workflow in a previous stage
- Import data from a .csv file and fill Comidor’s entities (such as Processes, Accounts etc.) with data
- Indicate the preferred Date, Time and Number formats for your data
Digital Signature
Most business processes include authorization steps and document approvals. With the Signature Models & Digital Signature component, you can automatically include signatures to PDF documents.
Create a signature model and then simply define a PDF template and the part(s) where the digital signatures should be placed. Users can include digital signatures in documents through automated emails triggered within the workflow.
Include the signature component in your workflow and link it with the e-signature model. When you execute the workflow, the system will place the user’s signature in the part of the document you want.

Deloitte states that “RPA software automates repetitive, rules-based processes usually performed by people sitting in front of a computer”
“By interacting with applications just as a human would, software robots can open email attachments, complete e-forms, record and re-input data, and perform other tasks which require human action.”
