Story
Inside John Lewis Partnership, back-office automation used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United Kingdom. Operations analysts needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
John Lewis Partnership uses Process HQ from Appian as the working layer for repetitive desktop work. Appian is a process automation platform that combines low-code apps, data fabric, and robotic automation for operations teams. The practical change is simple: back-office automation has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What John Lewis Partnership gets from Appian is a durable place to run back-office automation and a way for operations analysts to see the same repetitive desktop work at the same time.
