Success Story

Tempo Assist processes 230,000 requests in a single month with Pipefy

Tempo Assist ran supplier payments on email and spreadsheets, with recurring delays and a complete reliance on IT for any process change. With Pipefy, the company standardized its workflows, gave business teams the autonomy to build those workflows without IT, and automated repetitive steps with RPA, at the scale its growing operation demanded.

The challenge

Tempo Assist serves more than 14,000 customers a day across a portfolio of roughly 65 services, from furniture assembly to insurance claims. At that scale, supplier accounts payable had become a critical bottleneck. Every partner requested payment by email, and the company processed close to 6,000 requests entirely by hand, which produced recurring delays and growing frustration across its partner network.

The problem went beyond finance. The process management tool in place was rigid: any team that needed to create or change a workflow had to go through IT. Without that autonomy, most internal processes ended up running on email and spreadsheets, with no standardization and no visibility into where requests stood.

The solution

Tempo Assist adopted Pipefy to centralize and standardize the operation. Email-based requests gave way to standardized forms, so every payment request reached the finance team complete with all the information it needed from the moment it was submitted. That gave the company visibility and control over the status of each request.

Because the platform is no-code and easy to customize, business teams could build and adjust workflows themselves, without waiting on IT. Once the steps were in place, the Process team layered in automation and connected RPA to the workflows, absorbing the rising volume without sacrificing deadlines or quality. What started in accounts payable spread to other areas. Within a year, the company had moved roughly 72 processes into Pipefy across six departments.

Standardized processes across six departments

Redesigning the finance workflow raised supplier payment capacity to 8,000 a month, up from the roughly 6,000 requests previously handled by hand over email, with recurring delays, a volume that was never sustainable without automation. With the repetitive load absorbed by automation, which keeps moving into the most repetitive routines as more processes are standardized (today, 7% already run on RPA), employees were reassigned to higher-value work.

The gain is structural. Within a year, teams across six departments were working in Pipefy, and the combination of structured workflows and automation raised the ceiling on how much the operation could handle. The proof shows up in the volume: 230,000 requests processed in a single month.

“Automation is there to strengthen our processes. To avoid strengthening the wrong process, we first have to fix it and standardize it with our process team, and only then do we automate. When we see a chance to eliminate repetitive tasks that overload the team and affect deadlines and scalability, that is the moment we bring in a robot (RPA).”
