Datamatics TruBot

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is growing as organizations pursue digital transformation, faster and more efficient processes, improved customer experience, and lower costs. RPA uses “software robots” to mimic human actions in business processes, especially where full automation through traditional coding is difficult due to missing APIs, reliance on legacy systems, or the need to operate at the GUI level. Beyond basic screen-scraping and data entry, RPA is increasingly combined with AI—primarily machine learning—to support text understanding, decision-making, and broader enterprise automation. Robots can run continuously, scale with workload, reduce human error, and free employees for more strategic work rather than simply reducing headcount.

Datamatics TruBot is a low-code RPA platform for Windows installation that can automate processes across environments (on-prem, cloud, hybrid) and systems. It includes TruBot Designer (GUI workflow design with a universal recorder and 400+ reusable components, plus an IDE and debugging for advanced users), TruBot Cockpit (web-based centralized orchestration, scheduling, monitoring, screen replay, audit trails, and governance), and TruBot Station (runs and manages bots on physical/virtual machines, with Datamatics recommending one bot at a time per station for performance). TruBot integrates with TruCap+ (AI-driven intelligent document processing and OCR), TruBot Analytics (KPIs and ROI measurement), and TruBot Neuro (cognitive capabilities for exceptions and complex reasoning).

Security is positioned as a differentiator, emphasizing robot identities, least privilege, avoidance of “super robots,” anomaly monitoring, RBAC, strict separation of design vs execution access, and credential vaulting via CyberArk. Strengths include scalable enterprise automation, attended and unattended robots, analytics with ROI calculation, and strong governance; challenges include no unlimited-bot license, Windows-only installation, limited pre-built automations, and ongoing improvement for handwritten document handling and process discovery capabilities.

• RPA robots can operate 24x7x365 and are not prone to human error.
• Attended robots typically automate 20% to 90% of tasks, while unattended robots typically automate 100% of tasks.
• TruBot is currently available for installation only on the Windows operating system.
• TruBot consists of three modules: TruBot Designer, TruBot Cockpit, and TruBot Station.
• TruBot Designer provides a drag-and-drop approach with more than 400 ready-to-use components in the Smart Library.
• TruBot Cockpit is web-based and has no dedicated mobile app on any platform.
• TruBot uses a CyberArk credential vault for storing credential details as part of privilege access management.
• Datamatics does not recommend running more than one bot at a time on a single bot station to conserve resources.
• TruCap+ is a separate product from TruBot with a different licensing cost, offered to TruBot customers at a discounted rate.
• Datamatics has offices in six countries and provides online support 24x7.

• “The biggest benefit of software robots is that they are not prone to human error, can easily scale to workloads, and can work 24x7x365.”
• “RPA comes into play when manual tasks cannot be fully automated by coding logic and interfacing with the various systems involved.”
• “What distinguishes RPA from traditional IT automation, is the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and exceptions, and its ability to integrate workflows across an entire enterprise.”
• “This means business users who do not have any programming knowledge can either record activities with the universal recorder… or use the GUI to drag‑and‑drop more than 400 ready-to-use components…”
• “TruBot provides a complete audit trail of activities performed by Cockpit… to provide accountability of actions taken.”
• “For security reasons, it is important for organizations to enforce the Principle of Least Privilege…”
• “This avoids creating ‘super robots’ with multiple entitlements that could be exploited by hackers.”
• “TruBot Designer and TruBot Cockpit are two distinct modules and need separate access credentials.”
• “TruBot provides the ability to schedule a single process on different bot stations.”
• “The best way to ensure a good ROI is to ensure any RPA investment can scale to meet future requirements…”
