Docupilot Empowers Xiliotx Therapeutics
Xiliotx Therapeutics is a life sciences organization that specializes in cutting-edge research and development. With a global presence, the organization handles a wide variety of administrative, HR, and legal documents on a regular basis. Nathan, the CIO at Xiliotx Therapeutics, is responsible for overseeing all aspects of IT, including automation, AI, and platforms essential for smooth day-to-day operations. In search of an efficient document generation solution, the team at Xiliotx Therapeutics discovered Docupilot—and never looked back.
Challenges Faced Before Using Docupilot
Before integrating Docupilot, Xiliotx Therapeutics encountered several hurdles in their document generation processes:
- Fragmented Document Generation:
The organization had to generate multi-page documents by producing single-page PDFs using Airtable. These individual pages then required manual merging (using tools like DocParser) to form a complete document. This multi-step process was both time-consuming and prone to errors. - Inefficient Workflow Automation:
Their existing workflow relied on a series of sequential transactions through tools such as Zapier, which often advanced too quickly without waiting for preceding actions to complete. This led to frequent errors and an unreliable process, particularly when handling large batches of documents. - Integration Limitations:
Native functionalities in tools like Box.com and Airtable were limited. For instance, Box.com could only handle one document at a time, and Airtable lacked robust support for multi-page generation, forcing reliance on cumbersome workarounds. - High Risk of Manual Errors:
The necessity to manually intervene during document merging and data transfer increased the likelihood of mistakes, resulting in wasted time and additional quality control challenges.
How Did Docupilot Help Xiliotx?
