The Arnott’s Group is the custodian of some of Australia’s most recognized food brands. It employs over 4,000 people and has manufacturing operations across Asia Pacific.
The Arnott’s Group embraced a structured approach to enterprise automation to optimize operations and unlock new capacity for growth. Their strategy includes focused planning and prioritization to ensure ROI.
Founded in 1865, Arnott’s is best known for its Tim Tam biscuits and now produces over 1,045 products across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.
To support local and international growth, Arnott’s turned to automation to increase efficiency and free up time for high-value work. Their key takeaway from previous automation attempts: treat automation as a sustained business program—not just a tech solution.
Jari Laurikainen, IT Director of Enterprise Applications at Arnott’s, led the initiative and partnered with Ashling Partners.
Ashling brought a mature, structured automation approach with built-in governance—leveraging UiPath, which was ideal for end-to-end automation across systems like SAP.
