What Another Kind of Automation does

Another Kind of Automation (AKOA), founded in 2016 and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, is an intelligent automation services firm that delivers AI-powered automation solutions to enterprise clients across Finance, IT, Operations, HR, Procurement, Customer Service, and Supply Chain functions. Following its acquisition by Roboyo, AKOA no longer operates as an independent entity and has been fully integrated into the Roboyo Group's platform-plus-services architecture. The company's core product is the proprietary Roboyo Converge orchestration platform, which comprises five modules — Campaign, Scout, Pipeline, Coach, and Cockpit — that coordinate and manage enterprise automation initiatives alongside complementary technologies including RPA, Intelligent Document Processing, Conversational AI, Process Mining, Task Mining, Low-Code platforms, and Agentic AI capabilities.

AKOA's service delivery is structured around four phases: Advisory (AI consulting, health checks, hyperautomation strategy), Diagnostic (lean diagnostic, process mining, task mining), Realization (implementation of Conversational AI, Agentic AI, RPA, IDP, Low-Code), and Enablement (managed services, training, and automation-as-a-service). The company generates revenue primarily through professional services (consulting, implementation, and training) and managed services (ongoing automation operations support), operating on a quote-based engagement model rather than publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Go-to-market is enterprise-focused, executed through direct consulting-led sales targeting large organizations with complex automation needs and amplified through a technology partner ecosystem spanning 13+ vendors including Appian, UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, Celonis, and ABBYY. Named enterprise customers include OPmobility, a major U.S. airline, a global FMCG leader, a global industrial technology leader, and a leading real estate transaction services company, with documented outcomes including 85% reduction in manual forecasting, 99.5% classification accuracy on sensitive cases, and €150M in revenue uplift from RFQ scoring automation. The company serves verticals including Banking, Insurance, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Automotive, Manufacturing, Government, and Retail, supported by global delivery capabilities across Europe, the Americas, and Asia Pacific.
