Description

FinTech Workplace is a productivity platform designed to ease the process of uncovering and automating repetitive business processes. It eliminates the need for tedious ‘swivel chair’ work of switching between multiple, incompatible, inconsistent systems repeatedly and transforms it into a single-click experience. With Workplace, operations analysts can discover and accelerate the execution of mundane tasks, re-balance the workload, and focus on more strategic, high value work. In 2024, Workplace saved manual hours across Amazon teams such as Tax Compliance, Payroll, Accounting, Corp FP&A, Amazon Pay, AWS Sales, Retail AP, and PXT.
