US robotic process automation software vendor UiPath has announced its global partner Ashling Partners is entering Australia.

Chicago-headquartered Ashling Partners is an intelligent automation firm that offers process improvement services covering accounts payable, care management, inventory management and order fulfilment, with offices in the US, Romania and India.

The company has opened a Melbourne office and plans to work with UiPath to provide automation services to organisations in the finance, manufacturing and distribution, and healthcare industries.

“Australia is ripe for leveraging the true potential of automation because it offers a talented workforce and a market that has always been an early adopter of technologies like AI and automation," said Benjamin Lingard, country head of Ashling Partners Australia. 

"It is the ideal commercial centre for Asia-Pacific and Japan because it aligns with Ashling Partners’ core values and is a great client service hub as we continue to grow our delivery centres in India and beyond.”

Founded in Romania in 2005, New York City-headquartered UiPath offers a cloud-based Business Automation Platform and a range of process automation solutions.

In 2023, Ashling Partners was named UiPath Global Partner of the Year for the second consecutive year. 

“We’re excited to expand our partnership with Ashling Partners in the region with the prospect of helping more Australian companies and others across Asia-Pacific to achieve cost savings and productivity improvements through automation," said Lee Hawksley, president of Asia-Pacific and Japan at UiPath."

"The combination of Ashling Partners’ knowledge and expertise and the leading UiPath Business Automation Platform offers companies in the Asia-Pacific region greater opportunities for meaningful digital transformation.”

Sean McLintock, chief digital and technology officer at Ashling Partners' Australian customer The Arnott’s Group said "the investment that companies such as UiPath and Ashling Partners are making in Australia is paying off in the advanced business outcomes that are being achieved through AI-powered automation."

"Automation is one of three strategic pillars for The Arnott’s Group and we see it as a critical enabler to the company’s future growth.”
